YYOGA Experience

"Do you need that plastic lid for your coffee cup?" With support from YYoga and Lululemon Athletica and for the purpose of celebrating Earth Day, dedicated Vancouver yogis practiced yoga on a cold early morning in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery. It was beautiful to see all these yogis ready to spread the Earth Day message by gracefully moving through their asana practice with smiles on their faces. As I reflected upon this Earth Day yoga event and the importance of this special day, I asked myself, "Am I doing enough?"

I practice yoga because I am passionate about the truth. There is so much going on beyond what we experience through our senses. There is so much to tap into beyond physical appearance. Through yoga, we cultivate the ability to distinguish between reality and illusions. We tap into the unseen, invisible world through which we can expand our capacity to create and give, serve and love without limit. Yoga trims the mind and body so much so that we become worthy vessels of wisdom.

Bullfrog Power has recently launched a new public awareness campaign - PAY MORE FOR ENERGY. This campaign discusses why it makes sense to pay more for renewable energy and aims to stimulate dialogue across Canada on the real cost of conventional energy. While climate change and air pollution are very difficult challenges, the most powerful solution is relatively straightforward: we all pay a little more for energy, including the health and environmental costs that are currently hidden.
