I believe that we, as human beings, are deeply connected to our environment and to each other. 
Modern technology has helped us living our lives more comfortably and facing less external dangers, however, it has also detached us from our deep bonding with this planet. Yoga teaches us to balance our body and mind using breath and movement and helps us find back to our true selves. A human being that enters the journey to his/her true self ultimately also finds his/her way back to the state where he/she is connected with his/her environment.
