| INNER FIRE YOGA IS GREEN! |
Our new studio was built with green principles in mind:
· Highly efficient radiant heating system utilizes a combination of gas radiant heat and electric radiant heat throughout.
· Two highly efficient energy recovery ventilators recycle the heat from the classroom and pumps it back into the studio.
· Sustainable cork flooring.
· Reused and reclaimed building materials were integrated throughout the studio including fluorescent and can lighting, doors, frames, and many of the windows.
· Predominantly fluorescent low-wattage lighting throughout the space.
· Green eco-friendly carpeting saving us from toxic glue and volatile organic compounds.
· Low flow toilets and showers
· Low VOC paints.
 Other ways Inner Fire Yoga has "gone green" in its operations:
· Using recycled paper for printing
· Encouraging the use of refillable water bottles rather than disposable plastic water bottles. There is now free filtered water available, we sell logo aluminum water bottles, and the price of water in disposable plastic bottles has been increased to $4. $2 from each bottle sold is being donated to Trees for the Future.
· Offering non-toxic and organic products in our retail store such as ECO-MATS (we no longer sell the PVC yoga mats), soy-based aromatherapy candles, organic yoga clothing, organic whole-food energy bars.
· Using bio-degradable and non-toxic cleaning and laundering soaps.
· Using cloth hand towels rather than paper towels at the sinks.
 Inner Fire Yoga Center for Wellness is a member of the Green Yoga Assocation. We are currently involved in the third phase of the GYA's pilot program. For more information on the Green Yoga Association, visit www.greenyoga.org. |
