Threads 4 Thought Imari Legging ($78): Featuring a recycled polyester-Spandex blend, these leggings are manufactured with social responsibility in mind. This super cool company uses organic cotton, recycled materials, and Lenzing Modal made from the pulp of beech trees (which are sustainably trimmed instead of cut down).
LVR Asymmetrical Zip Hoodie ($82): This organic hoodie is lusciously soft, handmade, and low-impact dyed in Los Angeles. Additionally, LVR donates a portion of their profits to a Guatemala-based wildlife rescue center and donates clothes to the Downtown Women's Center in LA. So. Freakin'. Eco-Cool.
Esplar Low Leather Ambre ($118): Lined with organic cotton and made with wild Amazonian rubber, the Esplar trainers are named after a Brazilian NGO (that supports native farming). These are eco-kicks that kick some serious a**.
Elle Evans Fruta 7/8th Legging ($108): Designed with sustainability in mind and with the use of waste-based Econyl fabric, this Aussie-favorite swimwear brand also features very fruity leggings. We're guessing they're sure to help you nail that handstand you've been practicing (or perfect your Shavasana — AKA corpse pose — no judgment here).
ADAY Like A Boss Sweatshirt ($110): You'll feel like a VIP when you're lounging in this recycled polyester pullover.
Girlfriend Collective Apricot Topanga Bra ($38): Barre, Bikram, or just bake some cookies in this low-impact bra made from recycled water bottles.

just be. Performance Bamboo Muscle Tank ($55): Launched by Aussie yogi Jason Pachol, just be. is inspired by living a low-stress lifestyle. All of their goods pass strict fair trade guidelines, and TBH, we can't think of a better way to build that muscle mass, bb's.
