The Big Green Bus was on Main Street, Telluride for a few hours on Monday, July 27. Did you see it? The Bus is decked out with sustainable bamboo flooring, recycled glass counters, solar panels on the top to feed the systems on board, and its diesel engine has been modified to run on used cooking oil, filtered enough to keep the oil moving through the engine.
The mission of the Big Green Bus is to show how environmentally sound practices can positively impact our carbon footprint, and to encourage people to think about innovative solutions to climate change.
People come to Telluride in the winter to ski and snowboard. They stay because of the summer. When the weather cooperates, it is as good as it gets at this time of year. The hills are a riot of wild flowers. The cultural calendar is filled with wonderful things to do at the many world-class festivals and special events. And every Friday, June – October, 10:30 am – 4:30 p.m., the blocks just below Telluride's Elks Park to the Gondola Plaza on Oak Street become a gathering place for the extended Telluride community and guests. Everyone is on a mission to find the perfect tomato, the tastiest meat, mouthwatering cheeses, a lovely bouquet of flowers, just the right piece of jewelry, all available at the Telluride Farmers' Market.

Telluride's annual Farmers' Market, now in its seventh year, features almost 40 vendors, all of whom come from within a 100-mile radius to bring their sustainably raised fruits, veggies, flowers, meats, fish, crafts and cheeses to town every Friday, 10:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., June – October. The market is the place every weekend for the greater Telluride community to gather and feed a growing appetite for quality food and town talk, the spicier the better.One of the many smiling faces we look forward to seeing each week belongs to Dan James of the James Ranch, located ten miles north of Durango in the Animas River Valley.

In the summer of 2007, Telluride local and Jivamukti instructor Aubrey Hackman had just returned from her third yoga teacher training, a four-week intensive taught by lineage founders David Life and Sharon Gannon. Her bum wrist, the result of years of cumulative stress from hitting it hard on the mat, was really acting up. The wrist is an extension of the heart chakra, the center of emotions such as love, happiness, compassion and loving oneself in a non-egoistic way. The message came through loud and clear. 
For Telluride Yoga Festival board member, teacher, and healer Scott Blossom and for his wife, Chandra Easton, also a gifted teacher and healer, 2009 was a transformative year. For starters, Scott and Chandra had a second child, Tejas, now nine months old.
Scott Blossom also experienced a major shift in direction in his professional life, a career change triggered by a trip to India with his long-time hatha yoga teacher, Shadow Yoga founder Zhander Remete, and his Ayurvedic mentor Dr. Robert Svoboda. The epiphany was related to a discovery: the synergy between Shadow Yoga and the two other disciplines in which he is highly trained, Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine.
One of the results? After five years as a rising star on the national teaching circuit (last year, Yoga Journal named Scott Blossom and Chandra Easton two of the "21 under 40" Yoga teachers shaping the future of yoga) Scott decided to significantly curtail his travel schedule both to be to be with his family and to be able to offer more focused and in-depth Yoga studies in the San Francisco Bay Area.
