    Why Green Yoga?

    Rampant environmental degradation has brought crisis in multiple areas. As humans, we can do something about it. Each of us alone, and all of us together. This is the time for action to deal with:

    * Global Warming
    * Species Extinction
    * Deadly toxic chemicals in the air, water and products that we use
    * Ecosystem collapse due to over-exploitation of resources

     

    Yoga helps us recognize that we are made from the planet; we are sea-water and earth.  To take care of our planet is to take care of our selves.

     

    Yoga practice creates a body-mind relationship which can bring energy and effectiveness to the way we address the ecological issues threatening our global life-support systems.

    Seva Groves

     

    “One day the world will grow green with our Love.” - Rumi

     

    We are expanding our practice of Yoga and the practice of environmental stewardship by planting fruit trees around the planet.

     

    The Green Yoga Seva Groves will offer a place where communities can gather to practice asana, meditate, cultivate and care for the trees, and share the harvest.  They will do their part to lower carbon in the atmosphere and will educate the communities about sustainable agrigulture.
