Our Scent Free Polocies

What does our “Scent-Free” Policy Mean?

Today’s world is full of chemicals. Thanks to the work of environmental lobby groups, most of society is aware of the dangers of greenhouse gases and pesticides in our food. But how many of us are aware of the negative health impacts of the personal care products and cosmetics we apply to our bodies on a daily basis?

Most commercially produced products contain any number of hazardous chemicals known to adversely affect our health; miscarriages, infertility, birth defects, asthma, and cancer have all been linked to chemicals contained in beauty & / or cleaning products.

Some of the most toxic of these chemicals are contained in products that use synthetic fragrances, hence the reason for the initiation of the scent-free campaign. However, scent is only a part of the problem. In order to make a significant impact, the true goal is to live free of chemicals.

In doing our asana and pranayama practices, we are helping to rid our bodies of their toxic burden, built up from modern daily life. Why not give our practice a helping hand by actively choosing to add as few toxins directly into our system as possible? It’s good for us, good for those around us and good for the planet.

As part of a yogic lifestyle, choosing products that are healthy for ourselves, our fellow sentient beings and the environment only makes sense; one of the basic fundamentals of yoga is to live in harmony. Our body is the primary instrument that enables us to exist and evolve in the world, and as yoga students, we therefore strive to treat it with great care and respect.
