Eco-Green Yoga Studio
WHAT IS A GREEN YOGA STUDIO?
Practicing Yoga and being a conscious environmental steward go hand in hand. Opening Lotus Yoga is pleased to join the community of yoga studios nationally that have made the commitment to integrate sustainable products within their studios, practice recycling and energy efficiency as well as offering environmental education to its community.
GreenYoga.org is dedicated to fostering ecological conscious reverence and action in the Yoga Community. Green Yoga is where you can participate in the community of individuals who are living with the joy of natural connections and are taking responsibility for the health of our planet.
WHAT STEPS HAVE WE TAKEN TO GO AND LIVE GREEN?
- Installed Bamboo Flooring which is a non-toxic sustainable fast growing grass. Our Bamboo floor is a ‘floating floor’ with an insulating felt underlayment, requiring no glue or adhesives thus no out-gasing of organic volatile compounds.
- Low VOC Paint Finishes, water based, again reducing the emission of volatile organic compounds into air.
- Ceramic Tile from USA producer ,reduced shipping costs.
- Energy Efficient Lighting: Natural light, light walls as well as Compact Fluorescent Bulbs for our fixtures.
- Use of Recycled Paper Products; Including paper, bathroom tissues etc. In-house recycling receptacles.
- Use of Non-Toxic Organic Cleaners
- Scent Free Studio: Request students to refrain from wearing heavy perfumes and colognes within the studio.
- Use of Non-Toxic Yoga Mats, Blocks and Props. (no latex)
