Doing Yoga is supposed to be healthy. It alarmed us to find out that the PVC Yoga mat that we breathed on is toxic. PVC, because of its high chlorine content, creates toxic pollution in the form of dioxins, which accumulate in animals’ fat up through the food chain.
Exposure to PVC often includes exposure to phthalates, which may have serious health effects. Besides health problems, there are a number of negative environmental impacts from the production and use of this material, such as problems in disposing of PVC, which is very difficult to recycle. There are other consequences you might not have even thought about.
From farm to factory, each step of the way, Cotton leaves a lesser carbon footprint. This, combined with our artisans carefully curating, stiching and designing with hands ensures a truly sustainable Yoga practice throughout.
