Green Yoga

The term "Green Yoga" indicates our conscious intention to honor & care for the Earth as part of yoga. An important part of yoga is to develop not only a higher awareness of how we live in our bodies, but how we live as guests on the earth. Green yoga asks us to bring yoga into the world and live harmoniously with nature. Exhale is a green yoga studio where we actively engage in and promote eco-living practices in our community.

Yoga is inherently green, but quite often, modern day yoga is anything but green.

Yoga is a practice that acknowledges that all life is interconnected and we must treat all living things with love and respect. Our work is to integrate this lesson into our lives, and to share it with the world. We strive to be a studio for those who want to live by the principles of yoga on and off the mat.
