NOTE: Green Apple Active provided yoga gear for this post. All opinions are completely my own.
When I found out that I would be able to participate in several yoga-themed events while I was in Chicago this weekend, I immediately thought about what to wear. As a fitness instructor, I wear workout clothes a minimum of 4 days a week, if not more. So what brand do I think of when I think about vegan organic non-toxic yoga clothes? Green Apple Active Wear. I can’t remember where I first learned about them — either from another green blogger or when our Pilates studio started selling the brand — but I fell in love with the über-softness and the unique vintage style immediately. I was so excited to be wearing Green Apple Active Gear at several yoga related events in Chicago.
First off was the Yasso Yoga event in Wrigley Park on Friday morning. I just loved doing yoga in this outdoor venue with the grass beneath our feet. The weather there was perfect, very near 70 degrees. There was a light mist, but it felt great!
When I left this event, I was so comfy in my Green Apple gear, and it looked so nice that I just went straight to the conference for the day in my yoga clothes! Talk about clothing with workout-to-daily-life transitional ability! While I was at the conference, I met with a PR rep regarding an upcoming project and she was kind enough to snap this photo.
Later that same evening, I attended an EcoFab50 event at a local yoga studio. No actual workout this time, but some great henna and fabulous green brands that I was excited to meet. I just threw on some black skinny jeans with the Green Apple top and I was good to go!
When I went to get onto my bus for the 19 hour bus ride home (this is an experience I don’t really want to talk about…), I put my Green Apple duds back on and wore them the whole trip. It was definitely the most comfortable part of my bus ride.

@_conscientious Thanks for the great write up!http://t.co/7eXiiXyCGF We love how your #GreenAppleActive gear pulled double duty after class!
Wouldn’t it be great if organic fabrics were the norm for women and girls to wear? My daughters are starting to get more involved in dance/athletics and I’m concerned that the “look” for athletes isn’t always gear made with the best health/wellness in mind. Do you make dance leotards?
