Dig Yoga

Dig Yoga is committed to environmentally sustainable practices and strives to be a pillar of environmental stewardship in the community. Not only do we understand the importance of healing our fragile ecosystem, we have a deep awareness of our role in its illness and recovery. That is why we are taking as many steps as we can to minimize our eco footprint and hope to help educate the community on how they can life more environmentally sensitive lives.

We no longer are purchasing single-use plastic water bottles and are switching to glass bottles instead.

Currently, most of the clothing featuring the Dig Yoga logo is sustainably crafted by Alternative Apparel. We offer a water refill station and sell reusable water bottles in our boutique. Our yoga mats are made from 100% Natural Rubber and are completely biodegradable. We sell notebooks made out of cotton scraps leftover from the Indian textile industry.

Sue Elkind, the owner of Dig Yoga, is enthusiastically on board with becoming a registered sustainable business as well as implementing as many sustainable practices as possible. She is also very eager to utilize our space to hold information sessions for the community on how to live more sustainably and be more eco-conscious. Steve Frank, the owner of the building, is excited to help take steps toward being more sustainable. Our building is currently more than 80% solar powered and we are in the discussion stage of putting in slow-flow fixtures into the bathrooms (shared space), using rainwater barrels, and possibly switching to post-consumer recycled paper towels and eco-friendly cleaners.

We are switching from single use plastic bottles to glass bottles which are more environmentally friendly

Our building uses 49,885kWh of solar energy and 6,408kWh from JCPL. Dig Yoga's proportional share is 8,630kWh. At JCPL's current rate of 9.4 cents per kWh, this puts Dig's savings at $811.22 annually.

We try to give back to the community as much as we can and donate class passes to help organizations fundraise, such as for the SPLASH Boat Floating Environmental Classroom in Lambertville.

Supporting local artisans and businesses is a crucial part of our business model and community involvement. We frequently host "pop-up trunk shows" where local artisans can sell their wares in our boutique space, and we stock our shop with companies from Doylestown, Philadelphia, Lambertville, etc.
