Sustainability Conversations – A Q&A with the Hotpod Yoga Team
19 September 2024How did your sustainability journey begin?
As a yoga business, it's always been important to us and is has been something that we've constantly tried to improve and integrate into the business.
Why is being sustainable so important to Hotpod Yoga?
Yoga is based on principles of honesty and non violence, so we can't imagine not wanting to be as sustainable and environmentally aware as possible. This applies not only to the business but also to our customers and helping them to create a yoga practise that is sustainable for their body as well as their lifestyle; that's a whole other conversation!
What have you done so far to make Hotpod Yoga sustainable?
Our London studios are all run 100% on Green energy and we are also a certified B-corp. We're looking at ways to improve our score and to use different measures to track ourselves against as due to the nature of the business, a lot of what we're doing doesn't quite fit into their parameters.
How do you source ethical materials?
This is something that is high in our awareness. We are looking to explore and expand our list of B-corp accredited suppliers so that as much as possible we're working with businesses and in ways that hold sustainability at their core.
What are your future plans to keep Hotpod Yoga a sustainable brand?
We're always looking for ways to improve in this area, be it from materials and suppliers to the ways that we work with people and data. Sustainability isn't a fixed point and we believe that awareness of this is key in our journey.
