I have been practicing yoga on and off for a few years now.

I recently had to take a break for health reasons, but am getting back into it, more motivated than ever!

My main issue, however, has always been that yoga gear was mainly made from unnatural materials, not ethically sourced, and that did not fit with the mindful, conscious and ethical image I have of this practice.

But, quite recently, I have come across some brands that have made it their mission to do things differently, and I feel like it is my duty to share them with you.

Also, with the holiday season being just around the corner and gifts about to be purchased, I thought it would be a good idea to provide you with ethical and sustainable options for yoga lovers.

REPRISE

Reprise was created after learning about how much of our clothing is made out of plastic. They only use natural materials and never use oil-based synthetics or recycled plastics because of their impact on the planet. The company believes our skin deserves only the best, so they only work with plant-based fabrics for the cleanest wear.

Reprise also aims to educate on the use of plastics in the world and on our bodies because, being aware that this is one of the most important environmental issues at this time.

ORGANIC BASICS

Organic basics are pioneers in ethical and sustainable active wear. Not only are they doing things the right way for humans and the planet, but they also use new technology, such as SilverTech, to make products that are antibacterial and don’t smell, so you can avoid washing them too often, which reduces your water consumption and the amounts of microplastics that end up in our oceans!

Girlfriend makes some of my favourite leggings ever! Not only do I love them because they are made from recycled plastic bottles, but they are also soooo soft and fit me perfectly! I have worn my Girlfriend leggings extensively for over a year, and they are still in perfect condition!
