Dahn yoga cares for the Earth and will be showing its commitment to Earth Day by holding free classes throughout the country.
One of the aims of yoga is to foster spiritual and personal growth. As Earth Day – April 20 – is upon us, students at Connecticut College will be promoting education and growth through knowledge about clean energy.
The students will attend a program in Washington D.C. called Power Shift, which will feature former Vice President Al Gore as a keynote speaker.
“Power Shift is an incredibly motivating and inspirational event that draws together thousands of people from all around the nation who are interested in the environmental movement. It offers a lot of opportunities to learn about organizing campuses and communities to mobilize for climate change,” said Zoe Diaz-Martin, a student who will graduate in 2012.
According to Elias Kauders, the student chair of environmental affairs at Connecticut College, many students wanted to be involved.
Earth Day will be celebrated around the country and people can do the simplest things, such as recycling, in order to help protect the environment and perhaps inspire others to do the same.
