A place that doesn't steal land from indigenous people/works with locals respectfully/is working to create alternative economy in logging environments? It's hard to find good recommendations.Chandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-87900691001140293872011-02-19T19:40:03.373-04:002011-02-19T19:40:03.373-04:00Put your yoga money where your heart is, for sure!...Put your yoga money where your heart is, for sure! Maybe this studio is just going through some short term fixes until they are through the chaos of building? Someone with your level of concern would be valuable to them and their future business. <br /><br />I agree that the most optimal place for yoga is outdoors. I've done this several times first thing in the morning before the sun gets too hot - but weather is not always so predictable.<br /><br />I enjoy your blog very much. You've brought up some important concerns. Have you thought of building your own yoga studio? This could be an exciting adventure!<br /><br />~HeatherYogaRestoreshttp://www.YogaRestores.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-34460524244507362382011-02-17T23:35:18.207-04:002011-02-17T23:35:18.207-04:00Wow, I am surprised that a yoga studio could be so...Wow, I am surprised that a yoga studio could be so clueless. Toxic handwash even! Shesh. Girl, you have to voice your concerns and hopefully plant a seed over there!

Just like all other Moksha studios they have cork flooring in the studio rooms. But they also do not use any paper towels and the sheets you fill out when you personal information on when you show up your first time are laminated so they just wipe them down and re-use them. So cool! They also use all natural cleaning products. Or at least they claim to. I'll admit I haven't done much research on it. And I know they don't use the heating fans that X studio uses but I'm not sure what they use instead. Maybe come with me in the next two weeks before my month runs out?Christinehttp://www.balancedblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-11948520213950586822011-02-12T10:39:44.785-04:002011-02-12T10:39:44.785-04:00i'm with you on this studio. i've never ha...i'm with you on this studio. i've never had a connection with them like you did, and there's never been enough respect for the community and environment from them, to win me over.JenPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04124525102563413516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-81531890982898244302011-02-11T22:37:06.657-04:002011-02-11T22:37:06.657-04:00Please let us know when you do find an Eco friendl...Please let us know when you do find an Eco friendly studio...

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but it makes so much sense to me that yoga off the mat is also being mindful of the environment.<br />But then again, maybe it's just me, to each their own :)Emmanuellehttp://www.plansonacomet.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-63342856264910532602011-02-08T22:51:35.582-04:002011-02-08T22:51:35.582-04:00Reading this, I was thinking that perhaps one day ...Reading this, I was thinking that perhaps one day you can open a business as a Yoga Studio Greening Consultant. I'm sure there's a whole bunch of studios that would like to be greener, but don't have your passion. ;)<br /><br />Also, have you spoken to this studio about your concerns? If not, definitely do so. If you have already, let them know the reason you're moving on. Perhaps they have a plan and you don't know about it yet?<br /><br />But it's true: we have an opportunity to vote with our buying power, no matter how big/small it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
