Green Studio Dharma

The Earth is upheld by dharma. Atharva Veda12.1.17

To think green, GreenYoga Studios is grounded in Patañjali’s “great vow”– ahimsa, satya, asteya, brahmacarya, aparigraha. This vow of values is the internal guide for eco-yogic decisions.

Dharma (virtue or morality) and karma ground the family of Indic spirituality – Hinduism (with 6 philosophies including Yoga), Jainism, and Buddhism. Dharma from the root dhri (to hold, maintain) is the glue of life while karma teaches that every action has an effect. Contemporary Yoga studios are called upon to act with utmost responsibility and care for the Earth and her beings.

The challenge is not what studios do but the commitment to make conscious choices in how their business not only cares for their financial health but the well-being of the planetary elements and beings.

We have been busy planting trees, researching yoga mats, highlighting green practices, and networking the community together. And, we have seen a devestating oil spill, inaction on climate change, and corporate attempts to greenwash plastic.

As the ecological crisis grows, yoga practice becomes an essential tool in managing our human response.

Through our practice we maintain connection so that we can take effective action.
