We also  use natural resources in order to provide a healthy studio space. These are some of the things we have done and continue to do to make the studio as green as we can:

 

Cork Floor

We chose cork floors for our hot room for many reasons. It is naturally warm and with a non-slip surface finish that eliminates entrapped dirt, germs or fungus, thus actively contributing to a healthy and hygienic environment.

Cork’s unique characteristics ensure the floor is comfortable even with bare feet, with an optimal floor temperature all year round. Cork’s shock-absorbing properties relieve strain on feet, joints, legs and back which is perfect for practicing yoga. 

Environmentally friendly, Cork keeps trees alive!  It is a renewable and sustainable resource, making it ideal due to the ever increasing demand for conservation of natural resources. 

 

Infrared Heating

Using gas powered infrared heaters does not release harmful fumes into the air or contribute any emissions into the atmosphere.

Infrared heaters do not take out oxygen or humidity from the air. Infrared heaters make for easy-breathing, oxygen-rich air while still creating heat!

 

Natural Mat Disinfectant

We keep our studio rental mats clean with Benefect, a 100 per cent botanical and hospital-grade disinfectant made of plant products, such as thyme oil. How does it work?  Similar to the human production of antibodies, plants produce germ-killing essential oils to protect against invading microbes. Benefect has been proven to kill over 99.99% of bacteria, and it surpasses Health Canada’s efficacy requirements for broad spectrum hospital disinfectants.

 

Mason Jars instead of bottled water

We offer reusable mason jars to ensure students stay well hydrated while avoiding the proliferation of plastic water bottles in the world.  Tap water and filtered water is available at the studio.

 

Low VOC Paints

Most paints require the use of petroleum-base solvents, which produce VOCs.  Once in the atmosphere, VOCs react with chemicals to form ozone, a major pollutant. At De La Sol we use a low VOC paint product that has virtually no odor or solvents, and it will not result in adverse affects on people or the quality of environment.
