Organic Yoga Wear

There are many things that make people choose organic yoga wear over clothing made from conventionally grown cotton. If you are considering the difference between the two, consider that many pesticides used on cotton are thought to be harmful to the body. In fact, studies have indicated that more than half of Egypt's cotton laborers exhibited symptoms of pesticide poisoning during the 1990s. While wearing such cotton is not necessarily a health hazard, many yoga students prefer that their cotton be organically grown in naturally safe environments that are pesticide-free.

In the United States, conventionally grown cotton is routinely exposed to pesticides. Each pound of harvested conventional cotton is exposed to about one-third of a pound of chemically based fertilizers. With figures like these, it is not surprising that cotton accounts for approximately one-fourth of the pesticides used in the United States. Among the common pesticides used are some of the most toxic chemicals listed by the Environmental Protection Agency. In developing countries, however, even more toxic chemicals may be used in cotton production.

The Benefits of Organic Yoga Wear

With such knowledge at hand, it is easy to see why some individuals prefer organic yoga wear over apparel made with conventional cotton. Organic fabric is grown and harvested without the use of harmful chemicals. It offers all the benefits of cotton, such as high absorbency and breathability, and none of the environmental or health concerns of conventional cotton.
