“The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now.”
― Chinese proverb
Protecting our global home is at the root of Modo’s 6 pillars and is of the utmost importance—not just for future generations, but for each and every one of us alive right now. And, as overwhelming as climate change may feel, our practice can remind us that all big changes begin with taking action on the smaller ones. Especially when those smaller actions are done in community.
One example of a “small” action that can have a BIG impact is to raise awareness for and donate our karma class funds to Earth-loving organizations.
Sweat For Sustainability is Modo Yoga’s ongoing, community-wide initiative in support of One Tree Planted—a non-profit organization focused on global reforestation. It began in September 2023 with a month long fundraiser that raised over $9,000 by 20 participating Modo studios, and continues on as a way to show our support for the earth.
Plant a tree (or ten!) with us at any time by visiting our donation page and contributing any amount you’d like—one tree is planted for every $1 donated. Want to offset a flight or your annual carbon contribution? You can do that here! Modo Yoga studios will also continue to host karma classes where 100% of the funds raised will go directly to One Tree Planted.
Trees play a vital role in creating clean air and water, a healthy climate, and providing habitats for wildlife. And, by partnering with One Tree Planted, Modo Yoga is making an impact on reforestation around the world in an effort to provide jobs to minimize poverty in local communities, improve climate change resilience & mitigation, and restore forest cover to improve food security.
Donate now and help One Tree Planted and Modo Yoga plant a forest.
