The health of our bodies depends on clean air, clean water, and clean food. Yoga is grounded in an understanding of this interconnection. Historically, Yoga developed in the context of a close relationship with the earth and cosmos and a profound reverence for animals, plants, soil, water, and air. This reverence towards life is the basis of the Yogic teaching of ahimsa, or non-violence, non-injury, and non-harming.

“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.

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.
