One of the biggest misunderstandings about veganism is that it is simply about food.

It is not.

The Vegan Society defines veganism as a philosophy and way of living that seeks to exclude, as far as possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of and cruelty to other animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.

International Yoga Day 2026 is themed “Yoga for Healthy Ageing.” But healthy ageing is not only about the body. It is also about living with ahimsa, compassion, and responsibility toward other animals.
