The Best Eco-Friendly Pilates Essentials
1. Eco-friendly pilates socks
Finding the perfect pilates grippy socks can be tricky and then adding on the task of them being eco friendly can feel almost impossible. No worries, we did the work for ya!
Hip Swan socks are great because they have silicone grippers on the entire bottom on the sock so you will not slip unlike other socks that only have grippers on part of the socks. Another highlight to these socks is that they are made out of organic cotton which is better for the planet and you!
Why we love Hip Swan:
- Carbon neutral
- Plant tree for every order
- Recycled packaging
- Small batch production
- Made with organic cotton

2. Eco-friendly pilates clothes
The Pilates Princess aesthetic has completely taken over the internet but how do you find pilates clothes that match your personal style (or the current trends!) while also being eco friendly?
The most eco friendly pilates clothes you will be able to find are the ones you already own.
I know, boring, but it’s the truth.
Not buying new clothes is the most ethical fashion choice you can make. The clothing industry uses a on of resources to produce clothing, can be harmful to the environment and exploit workers.
If you are in need of some new eco-friendly pilates clothes here are some of the best:
- Girlfriend Collective
- Indigo Luna
- Thrifted, secondhand, regifted, Poshmark etc.

3. Reusable Water bottle
Disposable Water bottles are SO convenient but also SO wasteful. Of course there are times where you have to purchase a water bottle but if you have a consistent pilates practice form just habit stack getting your reusable water bottle prepared before class!
You will save money, plastic from going into the ocean and hopefully inspire those around you to opt for a cute reusable water bottle rather than
4. Eco-friendly Pilates mat or Yoga Mats for at-home Pilates
There’s nothing like rolling out your Pilates mat and getting a convenient class done from the comfort of your own home.
Unfortunately, many fitness mats are made from plastic and include a bunch of random harmful additives. Not only harmful to the earth but potentially your own health.
The best eco-friendly pilates mats with extra cushioning:
- Scotts Pilates eco mat
- Balanced Body Eco-Wise Hanging Mat
- Hugger Mugger Jute Mat
- Of course, any secondhand mats you can find are great as well (:
5. Plant-based protein bar
To refuel after your pilates session why not choose a convenient plant-based protein bar?
Even if you have no plans of going 100% vegan, incorporating plant based snacks into your routine can do wonders for your health and lessen the pressure that the animal agriculture industry puts on the earth.
Plant-based protein bars:
- Aloha Protein Bars
- Go Macro
- Orgain
- Cliff Bar Builders
