Yoga Goes GREEN!

When I decided to open Dancing Dogs Yoga, there were two aspects of the property I chose that sold me:  the first was that our building was eco-friendly, one of the only LEEDs certified mixed-use buildings in the state, and the second was the access to the outdoors.

With our energy-efficient studio leased, and our access to a marsh-front park secured, we started to think about ways to stay as green as possible.  We will offer eco-friendly mats and props for use and for sale, as well as work with Jade Yoga's 3-R's program:  Reuse, Reduce, Recycle Through this program, Jade hopes to reuse yoga mats - bringing them to those who otherwise might not be able to afford them, reduce the number of yoga mats going to landfills and recycle any mats that cannot be reused.  Dancing Dogs Yoga will be the first studio in South Carolina to participate.


We will also offer BPA-free water bottles for sale, and filtered water on site instead of selling bottled water, which will help lessen our footprint and decrease our contribution to landfills.  We will, however, offer recycling for all plastic and cans on the premises.


Through our use of our energy efficient space, recycling, and responsible stewardship of the land we'll practice on, Dancing Dogs Yoga will make everyone else GREEN!
