SALT LAKE CITY – Starting October 10, Salt Lake’s Soma Yoga is offering a free yoga class and a 20 percent discount on all yoga class passes for customers who sign up for Rocky Mountain Power’s Blue Sky wind power through November 10. 

“Supporting renewable power is a good fit for our business philosophy,” said Sunny Rose, co-owner of Soma Yoga Studios. “We buy it for our studio and we want to encourage others to support green energy as well.” 

To get the offer, customers need to sign up at Soma Yoga, located at 380 E 1700 S in Salt Lake City. The free yoga course and discount are offered to new Blue Sky customers and to existing Blue Sky customers who buy more blocks.

Blue Sky is sold in 100-kilowatt-hour block increments for $1.95 each, in addition to a customer’s regular monthly electric bill. Just one block of Blue Sky has the same environmental benefit of either not driving 2,500 miles or planting a half acre of trees. Enrollment is optional and customers can increase their participation or withdraw at any time.

Soma is buying four blocks of Blue Sky a month. Over a year, its purchase offsets nearly five tons of carbon dioxide emissions, which has the equivalent environmental benefit of not driving more than 10,000 miles or planting 940 trees.

Wind is an attractive form of energy generation because it helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Wind power produces no air pollutants, wastewater, smog or acid rain.

More than 15,500 residential and business customers in Utah buy Blue Sky renewable power. While Rocky Mountain Power already buys renewable energy for its customers, Blue Sky brings even more wind power into the system and encourages wind farm development.

Business customers have two renewable options: Rocky Mountain Power’s standard Blue Sky Block offering and Blue Sky QS (Quantity Savings). Blue Sky QS allows business customers to buy renewable energy from Rocky Mountain Power for less, providing they purchase at least 101 blocks of Blue Sky per month for a year.
