Why eco-friendly yoga clothes are better
Now that we made it to the bottom of the list of must-know eco-friendly yoga clothes brands, I want to add something. Doing yoga or any other kind of sport for that matter is something you do for yourself – something you do to make yourself feel better.
But by choosing to wear activewear that is made with consciousness and with the best and most natural materials, you also choose to invest in yourself.
Don’t wear something synthetic in your “me-time”. Make the decision to invest 100% in yourself and the precious time you take out of your day for yourself.
Wear something that actually feels good against your skin and the earth. A lot of the eco-friendly yoga brands above are actually quite budget-friendly and I promise they will last much longer and feel much better than a cheap pair from a fast-fashion chain! So make the clever choice and invest in activewear that will make you feel better in the long run.

Take care,
Anna
