The Feathered Pipe Foundation is proud to have played such an influential role within the development of the vibrant and diverse yoga and conscious living community we all enjoy in America today. It began with our first yoga retreat and involvement in the creation of Yoga Journal magazine back in 1975-76, and it continues today as we work on the leading edge of the movement to create mindful and sustainable communities, locally and globally.
