Yoga clothing

Sustainable yoga clothing

Yoga has a number of sustainable terms, "ahimsa" is one of them. Ahimsa means non-violence and you can apply this as far as you want! When we only look at yoga, you can apply ahimsa by buying sustainable yoga clothing (and accessories). Urban Goddess is a pioneer in the field of sustainable yoga clothing, as they exclusively work with GOTS certified materials. The Global Organic Textile Standard is a standard that determines when a product can be called organic. The GOTS not only looks at the materials used, but also scrutinizes the entire process (from raw material to product). This way, there is also extra attention for good working conditions and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, for example.

Features

First and foremost, it is important that yoga clothing is comfortable, the last thing you want is to be hindered in your freedom of movement. The clothing should therefore be spacious enough, but be careful, too loose is also not good! With too much fabric around you, you will probably have difficulty getting into the right position and you may get entangled in your own clothing, which is of course not the intention. But comfort also has to do with irritating seams, which can only distract you during yoga...

Do you always feel warm? Then it is wise to dress lightly for yoga! But if you usually feel cold, then it is smart to wear a nice sweater or vest. Wearing a vest or sweater is a good idea at the beginning of the yoga class anyway, that way you can give your body time to warm up slowly! When your body is at a comfortable temperature, you can possibly take off the sweater or vest.
