Politics and yoga

"I am not very spiritual, I just like the vibe," says politician Sirin Hellvin Stav from the Green Party (MDG). Sirin is the city commissioner for transport and environment in Oslo, and she can certainly see a link between yoga and politics.

"And I do not mean the typical Instagram yoga. There is something in yoga philosophy that resonates with my values," she says.

"The green movement is built on non-violence and on three principles of solidarity: with other people, with all animals and with nature. We humans are not above nature, we are part of it, and we need to widen our empathy to all life," says Sirin Stav.
