Quick questions about yoga
Yoga mats - Why so many variations?
There are many different styles (types) of yoga mats available to us. Each style has its own specifics that have enabled the creation of different yoga mats. By choosing the right yoga mat, we make it easier and optimize our exercise. Mats differ in surface, thickness, length, materials from which they are made...
How to choose a yoga mat
There is a flood of various yoga mats on the market. Different materials, different dimensions, price ranges... Each has its own purpose, for sure. You already have a headache when you think which would be best for you? The choice is not as complicated and difficult as it seems. It is important to choose a suitable and useful yoga mat because it will be your regular companion in practicing yoga.
Regardless of your yoga style, choose accessories that are made from natural and ecological materials. We spend a lot of time on the yoga mat in different rooms (yoga studio, nature, at home...), we touch it with bare skin, we sweat on it and many times we even press our lips on the mat. So, not only because of the environment, but also because of ourselves, it is important that the yoga mat is made of clean, flawless materials.
What accessories do we use in yoga?
Do you want to safely progress in yoga poses or make easier the pose in which the body needs more support? Blocks, yoga belts, bolsters, mats, rollers, blankets, eye pads... accessories that take your yoga practice (and other exercises) and meditation to the next level. A special ecological cleaner or yoga towel takes care of keeping your yoga mat clean. For easier transport and protection of yoga mats and accessories, there is a super yoga bag.

Organic cotton – simply the best for the environment and people!
Worldwide, large quantities of fertilizers and pesticides are used in the cultivation of ordinary cotton. Cotton cultivation accounts for about 25% of global insecticide use and 10% of pesticide use, although it accounts for only 4% of all arable land. For each T-shirt, for example, about 150 grams of poison lands in cotton fields.
Excessive use of chemicals reduces soil fertility and pests become more resistant. Controlled organic farming prohibits the use of toxic and non-degradable chemical synthetic pesticides and fertilizers so that soil and groundwater are not polluted.
The use of genetically modified organisms is also prohibited. People working in textile factories are also exposed to toxins from normal cotton production on a daily basis. That's why Lotuscrafts has resisted such dirty practices and their products boast GOTS certificate (Global Organic Textile Standard).
What is GOTS?
GOTS covers the entire production chain, from extracting raw materials from fields of organic cotton to packaging. At all stages, they take into account environmentally friendly processes, materials and social standards.
Also included are social standards from the International Labor Organization - ensuring fair wages, protection at work and freedom of association, protection against toxic chemicals, a ban on forced labor, child labor, harassment and discrimination.
GOST includes some additional "benefits" for the people involved in the process - for example: they carry out evacuation exercises in case of fire ... It is also involved in the processes of obtaining fiber from controlled animal organic livestock - wool.
