The world of organic yoga clothing can be a bit misleading and mysterious. Top brands who position themselves as “green” or “sustainable” or “humane” are actually the furthest from it. Brand like Lulu and Nike have been caught red-handed many times over awful production and business practices.
But it’s tough because top brands have the loudest voice. And no matter how much or how loud us little guys shout, people keep buying their clothes. This article is about the little guy. Most of our articles are non-paid promotions of small and local business because we truly believe in them.
When it comes to sustainable or organic yoga clothing, we dug deep. We found some awesome brands that are true to their word on sustainability. So, have a look and go show them some love!

The truth is that companies like Lululemon, Adidas, Alo and Nike all use the same suppliers. They get lower prices, spend 90% of their budget on ads and boom! There’s your business.
