Our Philosophy

Mountain Lotus is committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive, and environmentally-friendly space for our community.

Environmental Footprint

In our business operations, the guiding principle always is choosing the greener option.

  • Solar Panels - Outfitted with a 2000 Watt solar panel system outside and efficient far-infrared heating panels inside, our Truckee studio’s heated classes are capable of net-zero carbon footprint on sunny days.

  • Cleaning Products – We exclusively use eco-friendly cleaning products and our studios are outfitted with water-saving toilets and showers.

  • Branded Clothing – All of our Mountain Lotus branded items are sustainably sourced, and made from fair trade organic cotton and hemp, consciously manufactured and printed in the USA.

 

In the warmer summers, we project our Truckee studio will have a net-negative energy output, feeding our community with unused energy from our solar panels.

Community Impact

Mountain Lotus Yoga aspires to add to and expand the sense of community and local resourcefulness in North Tahoe and Truckee.

  • Location  - Both locations are in town centers where walking and biking is the best way to get around.

  • Take the Train - At our Truckee location, you can catch the train from out of town and walk to the studio, all without using a car.

  • Local Craftsmen - In both our Truckee and Tahoe City studios, the desks and retail areas are works of art, created by local craftsmen Seth Harrison and Steven Kirk.

  • Local Artists - In both studios we display artwork from local artists

Stewards of Lake Tahoe

The magic of North Lake Tahoe lies in the culture of our communities as well as its natural beauty.

That’s why we have committed to sharing a collection of six travel promises and kindly ask those spending time in the region to take the Traveler Responsibility Pledge. It’s a simple promise to preserve the natural wonders we all love for future generations to enjoy.

Help Keep Tahoe Blue. Whether you have 15 minutes or 4 hours, commit to getting involved and making a difference. The Tahoe Blue Crews volunteer program empowers and supports community members to conduct cleanup efforts at streams, beaches and trails around the region that are litter hotspots.
