The Yoga Path
Honoring Earth and Heaven, We Honor Ourselves


Back in 1969 when Senator Gaylord Nelson founded Earth Day, he was very concerned about the impact human beings were having on the earth. If he were still alive to witness Earth Day's upcoming 40th anniversary this April 22, there is no doubt he would be pleased with much of the environmental progress that has been made around the world. He would, however, have to concede that we still have a long way to go to restore a balance between our actions and the impact they are having on our planet.

It is fair to say that the environmental imbalance we are experiencing in nature comes from the fact that most human beings see themselves as separate and distinct from our Mother Earth. As Yogis, however, we are aware of the interconnectedness and interdependence of our lives-not only with each other, but with the entire world. As the "Peaceful Planet websiteso aptly puts it, "As one humanity sharing one earth, we are profoundly connected to this planet. We are a diverse, global community united in a common purpose to restore a [balanced] relationship with ourselves, with Mother Earth and with the Source of All That Is."

Inner Fire Yoga's commitment to environmental consciousness is supported by our GREEN YOGA STUDIO:

*100% radiant heat in our yoga studios, which requires lower energy supply than most modern heating systems;

*Two ERV's (energy recovery ventilators) that recycle the heat in the yoga studios as well as in the reception area;

*Participants in MG&E's Green Power Tomorrow program, by purchasing wind power that offsets our carbon foot print;

*Recycled paper for printing;

·Free filtered water and BPE-free water bottles for sale in our boutique.

· Non-toxic and organic products sold in our boutique, such as ECO-MATS, soy-based aromatherapy candles, organic yoga clothing, organic whole-food energy bars.

· Bio-degradable and non-toxic cleaning and laundering soaps are used to keep our space clean.

* A custom-built yoga studio according to the US Green Building Council's LEED's guidelines.

What can we do as individuals and members of a green-centered yoga community to "live green" off our mats? Make a commitment now, of complete and total mindfulness, to protect and honor our earth and heavens. Need ideas? Check this websitefor more than 70 lists of how to be green, organized by category. By following Inner Fire Yoga's example of being green - in your own home - is a good start. And, maybe one of the most effective ways to GO GREEN is to walk or bike to the yoga studio.

On this upcoming 40th anniversary of Earth Day, we all need to recommit ourselves to aligning with nature. Each act moving us forward to our goal of environmental balance and health is meaningful. As Blaise Pascal said, "The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by a pebble." Our interconnectedness, our divine connection to Mother Earth and Father Heaven means that by giving to them, we are giving to ourselves.

Vrksasana (Tree Pose)

In honor of Earth Day, this month's featured yoga pose is Vrksasana, the Tree Pose. This pose harnesses the powers of mental concentration, while allowing you to calm the mind. It develops balance and stability, and strengthens the legs and feet, also increasing flexibility in the hips and knees. By practicing tree pose you will feel strongly rooted with energy pouring upwards to help you defy gravity - like a tree!
