An estimated 2.18 million people are practising yoga in their own homes and in communities across Australia (Levine, 2018; Penman et al., 2012).

Yoga subtly fine tunes discernment about action, contemplation and letting go. This Federal election requires we do those in the right order, because along with our yoga practice, united political leadership that prioritises this issue when addressing all others, can enhance quality of life for generations.
