Green Yoga's Goals in 2005

In 2005, we will continue to spread the word about Green Yoga as we:

• Create the first Green Yoga Conference: Awakening Ecological Consciousness Through Yoga, Sept. 16 - 19 in the Santa Cruz Mountains, with our co-sponsors: the California Yoga Teachers' Association, Loyola Marymount University, and the California Institute of Integral Studies.


• Pilot the Green Yoga Studio Audit program, providing resources and support for studios to green their businesses.


• Redesign our website to offer more resources and an on-line newsletter.


• Continue to raise awareness at Yoga conferences and through Green Yoga discussion groups, workshops and classes.


• Continue to educate the public about the toxicity of PVC, the main ingredient in most Yoga mats, and to advocate for alternatives.

Our Supporters

Support for the Green Yoga Association is strong: including support from the California Yoga Teachers' Association, a highly committed and dynamic Founding Board, and the contributions of many volunteers and donors.

However, we need your support so that we can continue to do our important work of raising awareness about honoring and taking care of the planet as part of Yoga.
