​         As I began researching yoga products prior to opening my business, I was
focused on demonstrating a commitment to limiting its carbon footprint and a sustainable
approach to limiting the use of fossil fuels and natural resources. I chose to use organic cotton
straps and was thrilled to discover an environmentally friendly option to foam—cork—which I
used to make customized yoga blocks, balls and journals. Cork grows mostly in the Mediterranean
and is a renewable material that uses the outer bark of the cork tree, so it doesn’t harm the tree. The
tree bark will regrow in 9-12 years. While it is growing it removes CO2 from the atmosphere. These
trees can live up to 200 years. The cork forest is home to many species including hares, weasels,
wolves, wild boar, deer and the Iberian Lynxes. Using cork from the forest helps preserve the habitat
for these animals, plus it’s biodegradable and can be recycled. 

       We are proud to have met the highest verifiable standards of sustainability to be named a
Certified Green Innovator by the California Green Business Network. We were also a finalist for the
2023 BIZX Award in the Best Green/ Sustainable Business category. My passion for doing what we
can to protect the environment is driven by the fact that I’m the mother of two little children who I
hope, aren’t saddled with a sick planet due to the unsustainable behavior of those who lived before
them.

      We have a starter set that is fabulous for anyone that is starting out in yoga or just needs a
little extra support to get into the poses and have proper alignment. The starter set comes with
everything you need in an accessory pack. Two all natural cork small blocks (9” x 4.75” x 3”), 8’
organic cotton strap and an all natural cork therapy ball (2.9” dia.) to relieve sore muscles.
The all natural cork blocks bring the floor closer to you to give extra support and stability. You
gain the ability to get fully grounded into a pose. They provide a stable surface to lean on to gain
more confidence in poses. They are the perfect size to take with you to class or pack for travel. It is
lightweight, and has a non-slip surface for easy grip. It’s easy to clean, just wipe down or use mild
soap.

    The 8’ organic strap is perfect for Yogi’s of any size. It gives plenty of length and support to
help you get into any pose. Use the strap to add length and maintain posture for any pose. The
yoga strap gives you the ability to get into poses and twists that would have otherwise not been
accessible. Our favorite use for the strap is to hold in gomukhasana, arms behind the back.

    Our all natural cork therapy ball is perfect to relieve sore muscles after you exercise. To use,
roll the ball over sore muscles or place it between you and a stable surface like a wall or the floor
and roll to out muscle tension. You can also roll your foot over the ball to relieve sore feet. (especially
in the arch). The ball is just under 3” which makes it the perfect size to slip into a gym bag or travel
bag to bring with you anywhere.

Cork is long lasting, antibacterial and easy to clean.
