It’s something of a miracle to get a web site up in 2 days, but I think my green yoga is at an acceptable stage of “readiness” for me to actually start planning some events!

Everything these days is green – it’s definitely the catch phrase of this decade – green, eco, earth-friendly, people-friendly. I am often challenged to treat my body with the respect and integrity that it deserves, both with my diet and my lifestyle choices. Having the support of like-minded individuals would be a wonderful thing, and making a community event of it would be even better. Yesterday, My Green Yoga was born. Once or twice a month, I’m planning to host an evening of yoga, raw foods/juices, and perhaps an inspirational movie.

I haven’t delved too much into the details of the project yet, but I am considering the following:

• A community events calendar
• Juicing recipes
• An Amazon shop of my favourite yoga books and music
• Links to other yogis
• Links to other green/eco-friendly resources

This holiday season was different than seasons past. It was fabulously different – challenging, inspirational, filled with love and cheer, thought-provoking. For the first holiday season of my life, I didn’t eat turkey and only missed it in the slightest. Granted, I certainly gorged on many of my (non-meat) favourites (although it resulted in something of a stomach ache for my relatively healthy state of being). I took a bit of a break from the tech world, turned off my brain, and enjoyed some earthy and enlightening activities. Now, I’m ready to get back into the swing of things – to eat an apple, write some code, and do a bit more yoga. I’ve had enough eggnog to last me until the next holiday season, and I’m looking forward to consuming a large amount of vegetables once again. Raw food, php, yoga, and inspiring books – this is the stuff that the next week of blissful holidays will contain!
