Green Karma Projects

Mother Earth, Gaia, planet earth... however you wish to call her, she is our only home. Her balance of air, water, nutrients, and the warmth of the sun have sustained all life as we know it. All of our acheivements as humans are thanks to the raw materials she has given us. Her healing, beauty, wisdom and energy are part of everything that we are.

The Natural Method Yoga Studio is committed to provide a healing and empowering paradigm that leads people in the direction of their own harmony with Nature. This is the secret as we teach it within the Natural Method- open eyes and heart that flow through life in balance promote deep inner peace.

We are all connected to the Earth, and as yoga teaches, to each other. The state of the Earth's health is the state of our health, and the opposite as well. This is why seeking our own balance is so important- we cannot be as loving, strong, wise or kind as we truly are if we are ill. If we are imbalanced, our choices become imbalanced, and our souls, families, communities and our planet pay the price.

Finding our way to inner love and acceptance is key. Finding out the nature of our selves is necessary. This is the path of life- to evolve spiritually in our unique way harming none and learning wisdom and deeper love. Even the hardest person has a soul and wants happiness and freedom from suffering.

There is no more time to waste when it comes to finding our awareness and interconnection. Today is the day to stop doing things that feel bad, wrong, harmful, destructive, cruel and mean. Today is the day to soften your heart and bravely live as your beautiful self. Today is the day to begin to understand what that really means, and to know that living is a practice of compassion, not a perfection of hardness.

It is simultaneously no one and everyone's fault that we need to change our lifestyle. We grew up with the belief that Mother Earth's resources were endless and the only limits to respect were our income. We were all under that belief. Now our own eyes and senses show that weather is changing, animals are disappearing, storms are brewing. We feel in our centers that something is not quite full in there when we live our modern lifestyle. Something is desperately empty in modern society, as we are sold more items that are supposed to fill the void we feel more confused and hollow.

Let's all make changes to stop wasting. Let's all stop stealing Nature majesty and beauty from the generations that follow. Let's conserve instead of condemn animals to extinction. Realize that human beings are animals too. Recycling is not enough. We need to take less and give more, and I don't mean give more refuse. We need to moderate our life of wasting. We need to do things differently than we did before. We need to respect ALL life forms, because their fate is our fate. We are part of a web of connection of which ALL LIFE is a part, and when one strand breaks, all are weakened.

Please don't give up hope- hope is all we have and is the most innocent and beautiful force beside love. Instead, let's try coming together, instead of hiding in modern isolation and depression. Let's renew our bonds of commradery and step into the shelter of each other.

Our Green Karma Projects include silent service to the community on my part- picking up trash and recyclables; pruning, grooming, and nurturing the plants around us; protecting our wildlife; living and running the studio with the least harm to the earth as possible; and various classes/workshops on a per donation/free basis. I also collaborate projects with the community, both on our schedule and with other groups. I am here to be a resource for (com)passionate living and health for all beings, including our Earth.
