![80+ Eco-friendly sports gifts for yogis [Ultimate guide]](https://ourgoodbrands.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/eco-friendly-sports-gifts-yoga.jpg)
There are many reasons why you should be considering eco-friendly sports gifts for yogis and fit people, and it’s no longer a matter of protecting the planet from harmful waste. Sweating the drop between each asana, from polyester yoga mats to synthetic clothes, your health is at risk. Here’s your one-stop to enjoy the most extensive guide with eco-friendly yoga mats, accessories and sports clothes that you can possibly find!
Christmas is coming up and, for those who have yoga friends, we already know the outcome: they are willing to upgrade their gear, or acquire new toys to improve their daily practice. The best news is that now you can also help them to become more eco-conscious along the way with this curated list of eco-friendly sports gifts.
As we shared on the free e-book Change Your Life With Yoga While You Make The World More Sustainable, there is a big fat chance some people out there have not yet realised that creating less harm to the planet is an intrinsic part of the yoga practice that goes way beyond the asanas.
To be honest, we don’t blame them. Most of the yoga gear and sport accessories out there are made out of harmful materials. They are continuously exposed to polyester, like the yoga mats that carry harmful chemicals like chlorine gas, ethylene dichloride, vinyl chloride, mercury, and dioxins, which we end up breathing between headstands and child poses.
These are all major reasons for yogis or whoever is into sweating and getting fit, to get more eco-friendly sports gifts – as now, it’s no longer about the planet but also that their health could be at risk.
Let’s find out all the eco-friendly yoga mats, accessories and sports clothes that you can possibly get so that this Christmas you change the life of someone you love, for them and for the planet!
Pro Tip: Share this page with your friends and family on socials, bookmark it for future occasions. This is a go-to guide to inspire more people around you to embrace a more sustainable way of living!
