Bio-yoga is yoga dedicated to rain forest rescue. Many studios offer free tea after class, join us as we spread the word about rain forest rescue teas. Ask your local studio to serve analog forestry teas.
We all have some idea of what yoga is. But what is a tea session? Our definition goes beyond body movement to include everything that makes a studio healthy, fun and cozy. From the tea we drink to the Pottery that holds the tea, Bio-Yoga is a union of Mediums, Practices, and Green Sourcing by the people for the people. Many studios promote a work out, but we are taking a more ancient approach. Maybe the first thing we should take a look at is the condition of our planet, our lives and the actions that can give us a chance. Maybe we should first look at Analog Forestry. We all love tea… What yoga studio doesn't? Maybe the yoga community should take a deeper look into their unity and purpose and create a stronger voice by selecting rain forest rescue tea; bio-verde Tea. We can learn from the Potters, they have been leading to results! And when you get the tea, the cup and the water in front of you, it becomes a Bio-Verde Solution! Maybe we can create a new voting power, practice power, a new movement by voting for Analog Forestry. Their are many Green Yoga Movements, we can simply add another branch… How we do that is key! Turn toward Bio-Verde with us, and do it for future generations of children…. We are bridging mediums, practices and sourcing power together, to gather; as tea lovers!
According to [http://www.bioverde.net], the next level way of going about tea is via Analog Forestry:
And that is it! As a part of the Analog Forestry Family this community is a customizable practice of interdependent manifestation where people can practice communication and collaboration via their art, yoga, and sourcing choices. Lets start with the tea we drink, and build a healthier world sip by sip!
Analog forestry is a system of growing trees and plants that seek to establish a tree-dominated ecosystem that is analogous in architectural structure and ecological function to the original climax and sub-climax vegetation community. Thus, Analog Forestry draws design input not only from traditional models but also from the natural forest successional dynamics. When an ecosystem is designed to be analogous to the indigenous climax state, the efficiency and dynamics of the natural processes can be replicated. These quasi-natural forests are designed to mimic the structural and functional aspects of indigenous forests and are referred to as analog forests. In addition to their ecological characteristics, analog forests are also designed to provide economic benefits. However, its is not until all the ecological requirements of the location are satisfied that economic values of species are considered. Therefore, an analog forest may be comprised of natural and exotic species in any proportion, the contribution to structure and function being the overriding factor that determines its use.
In analog forestry, conservation of biodiversity is an equally important goal as economic gain. By contrast, agroforestry sees an increase in the production of crops and income generation as the desired goal.
It arose in Sri Lanka around 1981 as an alternative to monocultures of Pinus and Eucalyptus and has spread to India, Viet Nam, Philippines, Australia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic,Honduras,Mexico, Canada, Kenya and Zimbabwe at present.
The International Analog Forestry Network (IAFN) is currently hosted in Costa Rica.
