At 50 years of age, a French psychologist named Nathalie Masse has undertaken a heroic journey that has captured the attention of every fitness and environment enthusiasts. 

She is cycling solo halfway across the globe all to draw attention to the urgent crisis facing agricultural soils worldwide, and the international 'Save Soil' movement. She arrived at Isha Yoga Centre here today.

“I decided to embark on this project which is called 'Wheels for soil' to help raise awareness on the issue of soil extinction and garner support on social media,as well as unearthing sustainable practices by visiting farms, fairs,and organizations," Nathalie says.

Not war, wild animals, or dangerous terrains could stop 50-year-old Nathalie to embark on her first venture of this kind, as she left her hometown of Toulon, France on June 21, 2022. 7 months later she has cycled through Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey, UAE, Oman, and India - her 10th and the last country of her journey. 

It’s interesting to mention that Nathalie was supposed to travel across Pakistan and Iran but due to unrest in the regions, she took a detour and completed her solo journey.

Nathalie, a child psychologist by profession, was inspired by Isha Fundation Founder Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev and his 30,000 km lone motorcycle journey last year to launch the Save Soil movement.
