Here are the more ethical and sustainable yoga brands serving up some of the best pieces on the market.

Yoga is about mindfulness, so shouldn’t that extend to what you wear, too?

If yoga is, above all, a practice of mindfulness, of ahimsa (non-violence), and compassion, then are we really staying true to this with what we wear on (and off) the yoga mat? As the popularity of yoga continues to soar exponentially, so too does the market for activewear and athleisure. But what about more sustainable and ethical yoga clothing?

We know that often in the mass market, when demand for products increases, awareness around care and quality decrease, as companies work to produce quicker. And not just the quality of the stitching or fabric, but care for workers throughout the supply chain, and awareness of the environmental impact of producing and distributing these goods. Now, more than ever, we need to make sure the brands we invest our hard-earned money into are, in turn, investing in the protection of people, the planet, and animals.

The recipe for a great yoga outfit has some key ingredients. Think comfort, durability, breathability, coverage, flexibility, fit, and style.

So, with all that said, here are the brands serving up some of the best (and more ethical) yoga clothing on the market—with values and practices to match. They’ve all been rated “Good” and “Great” for their performance on key sustainability issues in Good On You’s methodology. Our ratings are based on public evidence to encourage transparency and accountability in the industry.

Note that these brands primarily offer womenswear, and their designs, fit, and sizing reflect this. But yoga is for everyone, so we’ve also created a guide to more ethical activewear for men.

Whether you’re a #yogaeverydamnday ambassador or simply looking to bring more mindfulness into your life, the principle is the same.

Whenever I talk about balance with my students, I invite them to open their minds and really take a big-picture look at their lifestyles and beliefs. It’s easier said than done to confront our own habits and contradictions. Alignment is not only a key factor in a pose—it’s a key element in finding true harmony between what we say and what we do. If we hold certain values in our hearts, do we reflect these on our shirts? Better still, do we demonstrate these same values outside of our 60-minute classes?

Whatever your sadhana, or practice, looking at what you’re sporting on your body is a great start. As for what’s going on inside our bodies—well, that’s what yoga and meditation are for, right?
