Celebrate Earth Day

Mon., Apr 23

Postponed until April 30, 2012.

Active Minds Student Organization, in collaboration with University Counseling Services, the Recycling Center, the Center for the Environment, the Fitness Center, and Health and Wellness Center, are sponsoring the "Unplug...Tune In and Recharge" Earth Day Yoga Celebration, on Monday, April 30, 2012 from noon-2:00 p.m. in the Academic Quad. (Registration begins at noon.)

Unplug and turn off your lights, phones and computers and join us in the Academic Quad as we give back to the Earth through Sun Salutations!  

"The notion of a salutation to the sun is to pay your respects and surrender to the universe. This can be taken as a metaphor to let go physically -- the mind follows as you move 'inside' the practice." ~ Author Unknown

While giving back to the Earth and letting go, we shift from our electronic world and have the opportunity to go green for a little while. Yoga enables us to connect our minds, bodies, and spirits.  Earth Day Yoga will allow us to do something healthy and give back at the same time. If we each do one small green act, our world would be much healthier. 

So join us for this fun afternoon, get moving and recharge your life.  A $1 donation is suggested and will be collected by Active Minds.  All proceeds will go the Sustainable Southern efforts on campus and Fellowship Place in New Haven, which supports those suffering from mental illness.

**FREE yoga mats to the first 50 students to sign up! Bring your mat, wear comfy clothes and bring a refillable water bottle.**
