Before we dive in, we want to share a quote with you that greatly resonates with living the yogic lifestyle, both on and off the mat, and served as a lovely reminder to the empowering practice that is yoga:
“True yoga is not about the shape of your body, but the shape of your life. Yoga is not to be performed; yoga is to be lived. Yoga doesn’t care about what you have been; yoga cares about the person you are becoming. Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose, and for it to be truly called yoga, its essence must be embodied.”
Aadil Palkhivala
So, let’s explore how we can make conscious choices, take our yoga off the mat, and how sustainable and conscious consumerism is liked to yogic philosophy.
The Resonance of Eco-Friendly Yoga and Yogic Philosophy
Eco-friendly yoga products embody the essence of mindfulness and respect for the Earth. As we connect with our inner selves through yoga, it becomes natural to extend this awareness to the choices we make in our practice and daily lives off the mat.
Choosing eco-friendly yoga products aligns our values with our actions, nurturing a deeper connection with the world around us, and therefore with nature. By opting for sustainable alternatives, we contribute to reducing our carbon footprint, conserving resources, and supporting ethical practices.
Making sustainable and informed choices about the yoga products we choose and use, we are, in a sense, living the first two of the eight limbs of yoga. The first two of the eight-limbed path to yoga are the Yamas and Niyamas.
Yamas and Niyamas are ethical guidelines and personal observances that form the foundation of a yogic lifestyle. Yamas are how we behave and conduct ourselves towards others and the outside world. Niyamas are personal practices and outline how we can nurture and expand ourselves.
In essence, sustainability and conscious choices around yoga products align perfectly with the principles of Yamas and Niyamas, creating a holistic and mindful approach to both our yoga practice and our relationship with the world around us.
Taking our values off the mat and into our daily lives is truly living in union and perfectly represents the holistic practice that is yoga – beyond the physical (asana) practice.
Living the Yogic Philosophy: Exploring Eco-Friendly Yoga Products
Now that we have established how our consumer choices reflect yogic philosophy and why it is important to consume consciously to preserve Earth’s resources, we will show you a few options of the kind of eco-friendly products that you can find.
The world of eco-friendly yoga products offers a treasure trove of options for conscious yogis. From the foundation of our practice—the yoga mat—to the clothing we wear and the accessories we use, sustainable alternatives already exist.
Eco-Friendly Yoga Mats
Traditional yoga mats are often made of synthetic materials, such as PVC, that are not biodegradable. In addition, these synthetic materials might contain harmful substances. However, eco-friendly yoga mats are crafted from natural, biodegradable materials like natural rubber, jute, or cork. These mats offer superior grip, support, and durability while being kind to the environment.
