Abstract
Peace, yoga and democracy share a vision of freedom, truth, and justice to promote both individual and societal transformation. Barack Obama created a vision of hope in 2008; students should be allowed to carry out that vision of freedom and democracy in their homes, schools and communities with curricular implementation across the content areas. Allowing the community and the school to interact and makes strides for change are essential if peace is ever to be a possibility.
