Happy International Day of Yoga!

The International Day of Yoga is celebrated every year on 21st June. The day was selected after a resolution was passed in the United Nations that was endorsed by 175 countries. As we know, Yoga is a very effective mental, spiritual and physical practice. The practice originated in ancient India but has now spread all over the world. The Prime Minister of India labeled Yoga as an invaluable gift from India to the rest of the world, and he’s not wrong!

This year they’re discussing Climate Action at the UN HQ in NYC, which is a topic near and dear to our hearts. We strive to make our products as eco-conscious as possible, by ethically sourcing our natural rubber sustainably, using the Para Rubber Tree; a crop that contributes to balancing carbon in the atmosphere. We limit the amount of plastic used in our packaging with plans to completely eliminate!

So when you’re looking for eco-friendly yoga mats, ALWAYS check to see if they are made from eco-friendly materials. Anything with PVC, silicone or parabens in a big no no. Zenbear offers soft, non-slip, eco friendly and (eventually) biodegradable yoga mats so that you can carry out your yoga routine and play your part in protecting the environment at the same time.

So, to celebrate all things clean & green this International Day of Yoga, we’re encouraging you to invest in an eco friendly yoga mat. That’s why we’re running a pretty rad offer from Friday to Sunday across our range of mats, just because.
