Our Studio was built to sustain a safe, healthy and environmentally conscious setting.
Guided by our own beliefs, we have strived to create as green a space as possible.
Most paints contain VOC's (volatile organic compounds), which once in the atmosphere, react with other chemicals to form ozone, a major component of pollution. Even paints that start out VOC free take on some VOCs when colorant is added. 'Lifemaster 2000' the paint used in the studio is completely VOC free, including all colorants. Since much of a Moksha class is focused on breathing, this choice is also optimal from a health perspective.
Water filters are that filter out chemicals such as chlorine, are installed on all of the showers. We also have filtered drinking water available so you can fill your water bottles.
Our studio has a high efficiency, frontloading whirlpool duet series washer and dryer.
We use Nature Clean and Citrasolve products to clean the entire studio. The products are hypo-allergenic (contain no perfumes, dyes, formaldehyde preservatives, ammonia or other common allergens). They are plant based and thus can biodegrade very efficiently.
Between regular washings, we keep our rental mats clean with Benefect, a disinfectant made of Thyme extract. Sensible Life Products is the family owned company that makes this great product. It has been approved by both Health Canada and Environment Canada as the first and only 100% natural disinfectant. Commercial disinfectants contain poisons which damage our immune systems. We are proud to use this amazing and friendly anti-fungal product.
It was our goal when building this studio to use reclaimed materials whenever possible. Our benches, coat racks, front desk, shelving and some doors are made from reclaimed wood salvaged from a barn demolition in Collingwood.
