7 Eco-Friendly Yoga Brands You Should Probably Know About

Our environment is facing a monumental crisis. Climate change is one of the biggest challenges affecting our world today. And it’s so important to support eco brands because fast fashion is one of its leading contributors.
 
Most of us are aware that we vote with our wallets every day. We have the power to create and influence change by carefully selecting where we spend our hard-earned money.
 
As yogis, we can even affect change by consciously choosing eco brands and products that are eco-friendly and help protect – as opposed to further harming – the environment.
 

We vote with our wallets every day.

 
Supporting brands that create eco-friendly yoga clothes (as opposed to fast fashion) and other environmentally-friendly yoga gear is a simple yet impactful way to help protect the environment.
