Make Friends with the Earth

Your relationship with your ecosystem is similar to a relationship you might have with another person. Without care, it can fade. With care, it can bloom into mutual joy. You can make friends with the Earth by doing the same things you would do to cultivate a friendship with a person.

Your support is vital

 

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.
