5.0 out of 5 stars A Blue-Print for Green Yogis!, April 5, 2008
This review is from: Green Yoga (Paperback)
Green Yoga is one of the most important yoga books in print today.

The Feuersteins have distilled into one slim powerful volume the essential wisdom of yoga with facts and figures gleaned from hundreds of resources on the environment. Green Yoga connects the vital interrelationship between self-transformation and the preservation of our natural environment. The core values and practices of yoga (including ahimsa (non-violence -- not harming any living beings, and aparigraha, not stealing, accumulating or consuming more than we need) coincide with the values of the green movement and deep ecology.

If yoga is inherently green, we may ask, "Why then, do we need to speak specifically about green yoga? We may not like the answer the Feuersteins put forth: because much of contemporary Yoga is anything but green. Modern yoga practitioners are caught up in the consumer society like everyone else and the yoga lifestyle has become thoroughly commodified.

We are addicted to driving everywhere; aspiring yogis stop for hamburgers after class and fly around the country to yoga conferences. Yoga publications promote products that are causing havoc on the planet. "Yoga cruises" regularly dump oil and hazardous chemicals as well as waste water and sewage into the ocean.

The Feuersteins define green yoga as "Yoga practiced responsibly at a time of unprecedented peril affecting the entire biosphere of our planet."

What is an aspiring green yogi to do?

First, we must change our priorities--our values, our philosophy, and then our attitudes and behavior. We must make our yoga practice rigorously green and ask ourselves: "If a yogi is not aware of environmental issues, who will be? If a yogi is not aware of the immense suffering on this planet, who will be? If yoga practitioners won't respond to this unique and perilous crisis, who will?"

This is the perfect book for yoga teacher training programs and I wish that every yoga center in the world would purchase Green Yoga for each of their students, in honor of Earth Day and all year around!

5.0 out of 5 stars Profound., October 6, 2007
This review is from: Green Yoga (Paperback)
The book Green Yoga provides a blunt and profoundly disturbing look at the environmental challenges we face. The first chapter is a blitzkreig of information on the current state of the world; catastrophic in proportions and globally encompassing. It throws you into the depths of this global suicide, spurring feelings of disbelief, anger, sadness, and even hopelessness, then continues with its relentlessness in the disclosure of the portends of worldwide ecological collapse.

Don't be fooled however. The challenges we face are a catalyst of sorts. Brenda and Georg plead with their yoga brethren to join them in an all out spiritual calling to heal the world. Though they are appear to be talking to whom they've educated and enlightened for decades, the book is a call to each and every one of us; It is time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for Yoga practitioners who want to be part of the solution rather than a blind part of the problem, October 4, 2007
This review is from: Green Yoga (Paperback)
This is one of those books that the mind does not want to read. Georg and Brenda pose the punch-you-in-the-gut question "How realistic is it to expect to attain individual serenity in a troubled sociocultural and natural environment?" Then they go on to explain how we do this through a process they call "sattvification," which is a purifying that involves mindfulness and activism in relation to both the mind and the world. This book is a powerhouse. It is essential reading for Yogis and Yoginis who want to be part of the solution rather than a blind part of the problem. It is a challenge to act--Karma Yoga--not just sit on your butt in meditation.
