Yogis are often categorized in a multitude of ways.\u00a0Some of those are\u00a0wrong (we’re all hippies) but some are correct\u2014such as the idea that we make a concerted effort to be more mindful in our daily lives, and in our life choices, too.<\/p>\n

As we step off our mats, slip back into our shoes, and return to our daily functions we are still connected to that yogic-mindset, making mindful decisions throughout the day: from what we eat, to how we treat others, and how we treat ourselves, too. But are we making mindful decisions in respect to the earth we were just so firmly connected, and grounded, to? Are we mindful about how we treat it?<\/p>\n

A love, appreciation, and respect for nature often intertwine with yoga practice. By making other elements of your\u00a0practice\u2014the clothing\u00a0you choose, the way you clean your mat, and\u00a0what you do with it\u00a0when it’s time for a new one\u2014more sustainable and environmentally-conscious you can express gratitude to the earth off the mat, too.<\/p>\n

Keep It Clean<\/h3>\n

Here’s the hard truth: Our mats can get\u00a0pretty gross<\/a>. Sweat, bare feet, tears<\/a>, bacteria, and perhaps some other unmentionables find their way to our mats surface… And if we don’t clean them directly after use they just hang out there, and fester. Ick. Keep it clean, people! You can keep it\u00a0eco-friendly, too, by mixing up some DIY cleansers.<\/p>\n

Our favorite DIY cleanser is from our friend zero-waste and sustainability\u00a0extraordinaire Lauren Singer. which you can watch below.<\/p>\n
