Bikram's Beginning Hatha Yoga is a scientifically formulated series of 26 postures and two breathing exercises. Bikram worked with his teacher, Bishnu Ghosh, to create a series of postures designed to heal the body from chronic illness and/or injury and to maintain the body in a healthy condition. Bikram stresses that by "healing the body" he means removing the symptoms of ill health. Bikram's Yoga is therefore both rehabilitative and preventative.
Love the moment and the energy of the moment will spread beyond all boundaries.

Green Hammer is a multi-disciplinary team of architects, construction managers, certified Building Performance Institute specialists, Certified Passive House Consultants, engineers, LEED AP's, FSC millwrights, skilled craftspeople, and dedicated staff. Our team has the capacity to design, engineer, and build the most energy-efficient buildings in the world. Additionally, Green Hammer’s sister company, Urban Timber Works, a small urban log salvage, milling, and wood processing company, provides Green Hammer with exceptional local wood products from large slabs to trim material.
We have a deep commitment to using non-toxic, low carbon footprint, and ecologically sound systems and products on all of our projects. Green Hammer is currently the only Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody (COC) certified building company in the United States. We have taken this step to not only support a type of natural resource management we believe in, but to invest in a future where grand biodynamic forests thrive for the generations to come.
To conserve natural resources our designers and builders focus on reuse and repurposing of materials first. Our build team is fully committed to the reduce, reuse and recycle mantra on site integrated with our time proven waste management systems allowing us to claim 90% and higher waste recycling rates on our sites. Green Hammer further diverts waste from the landfill by utilizing salvaged materials from the deconstruction process and suppliers like Rebuilding Center and our own Urban Timberworks log salvage and milling company for use during the construction and restoration process.
We support regionally based craftsmen, suppliers and manufacturers to keep our dollars within our community. We are dedicated to preferring local, responsible sources first within reason of the project goals. For instance we use only lumber salvaged locally or from Oregon forest stewards committed to FSC standards or better. Our efforts hope to ensure the restoration of our Oregon forests, decrease fossil fuel dependence, benefit local jobs and enhance connections in the local economy.
The goal in life is living in agreement with nature.

Here at botanica floral design we combine our passion for flowers with our passion for the environment to create designs that are both beautiful and gentle on our planet.
There is so much waste produced and many dangerous chemicals used in the commercial floral industry that we decided to strive towards building a sustainable, ecologically sensitive, socially conscious and non-toxic floral service.
I get a lot of people asking me..."what's not green about flowers?"
First of all,the majority of the cut flowers sold in the US are grown in South America. It takes about a week for a rose to get from Columbia or Equador to your florist or supermarket. All the travel and extended refrigeration creates a very large carbon footprint.
And unbenownst to most people, the cut flower industry uses enormous amounts of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, miticides, and fungicides(many of which are banned here in the US and Canada) in the growing and processing of cut flowers. Not only is this extremely harmful to our environment but it poses many health risks to the workers who grow, tend, cut and package these flowers. On top of this, working conditions in these countries can be dangerous, unhealthy and exploitive.
Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?

Why do people choose our service?
• One reason One reason to choose Organics to You would be quality of goods we deliver, but beyond that, there is a convenience factor, and overall value you get from our delivery. We have had price comparison shopped the contents in our boxes and have found it our favor, even by $20 or so, sometimes… We also offer a wide range of organic groceries, so with Organics To You not onlycan you save money, but you can also save time by not going to store, and the frustration of traffic, along with those impulse purchases people can make at stores and "shopping club" database systems which can hide the full price of things on the shelf. You get none of that with us.
Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it, everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, never... never forget it.

In ancient India, holistic living was a way of life. People inherently understood the balance of nature, the ways of the Universe and how the elements affected not just their physical health, but their mental well-being. It was understood that if they achieved harmony within, they would be at peace with their surroundings. On the fast track to progress, our world changed as did we; but deep within us we have always understood and upheld the beliefs and principles of our ancestors. To seek harmony, to balance themselves again, to be one with their surroundings, Indians have been known to ‘retreat’ to the peace and quiet of the mountains… to the stillness of the hills and the natural flow of the rivers. This is the very philosophy which brought Ananda - In The Himalayas into being. More than ever before the New Age individual moving on today’s fast track recognises the need to retreat, find holistic remedies, and rejuvenating locales. At Ananda we have tried to recreate the synergy of mind body and intellect not just through the natural Himalayan locales and the proximity to the mountains and the river, but through the rejuvenating and ancient processes and philosophies of Ayurveda, Yoga and Vedanta combined with contemporary international therapies which enhance and augment the original. Ananda believes that each individual is unique. So too are the programmes and experiences that we offer. Individual needs and requirements are assessed prior to the programme being selected, through a personal consultation with our Ayurveda and wellness consultants. This is an intrinsic part of assisting the individual on his/her private journey to understanding the self.
