The climate crisis can feel abstract for many of us because of the overwhelming scale of this multifaceted threat. Calculating our carbon footprint is a valuable tool that helps bring the issues related to the climate crisis down to an individual scale that is easier to relate to. In this workshop, we discuss and guide community members in understanding what a carbon footprint is and how it can be used to understand the way our individual choices affect our climate and how those choices connect to larger systemic aspects of the climate crisis. 

All are welcome. Together we’ll connect our bodies and our breath, warm up our joints and stretch out our muscles, flow in a sequence of dynamic postures, and end our practice in final resting pose- Savasana.
