Manage episode 375574589 series 2981242
How many brands can confidently say that their products not only diminish toxic loads, but also provide positive input for individuals and the environment? Bennd Yoga is one of the very few, and in this episode, I’m joined by Heather Parkin, the brand Founder and CEO. Heather and I discuss the origins of Bennd Yoga and she details the Ayurvedic principles at the core of these innovative yoga mats and accessories.
Ayurveda is an ancient traditional health care system that focuses on strengthening the mind/body connection through medicinal herbs, diet, exercise, meditation, and breath. After discovering this healing modality, Heather was inspired to create yoga products that are 100% natural, hand-loomed, and medicinally dyed with plants and herbal remedies.
Heather describes how each mat and prop is created, explaining how the Ayurvedic process positively affects yoga practitioners. Heather also dives deeper on what research shows about the impact plastic yoga mats have on the environment and endocrine system.
