Ecology of Yoga

For her dissertation Laura convened a collaborative group of Yoga teachers to explore the relationship between ecology and Yoga. The group met for a five-day retreat in Vermont in May 2003, and named themselves the Collaborative for Ecological Yoga. The purpose of the group is to clarify the ecological roots of Yoga so that they may be brought forth in the world--through personal practice, through teaching, and a variety of other projects.

As part of her research, Laura also wrote the Yoga is Ecological Values Statement. The group has been conducting an outreach project to the community based on the statement.

Come visit our table in support of this statement at the Yoga Journal San Francisco Conference at the Hyatt Hotel, Jan. 30 - Feb. 2, 2004. Also on Sunday, Feb. 2, 12:45 - 1:30 pm, join us for an informal lunchtime presentation aned dialogue regarding the statement. (Check back here for conference room number as it becomes known.) The exhibitor area and lunchtime discussion are free and open to the public.

Several of the upcoming workshops Laura is offering include ecological themes and provide a relaxing, meditative retreat. Please join us!

If you are a Yoga teacher or have a group of friends who might be interested in the topic of Yoga and Ecology, you are invited to help us in our outreach by hosting a House Party in Support of the Collaborative for Ecological Yoga.

As this project is a work in process, this section of the website is likely to be updated frequently. Check back here for more information as it becomes available, or sign the guestbook for updates. You are also invited to consider volunteering, as this is a pressing need.
