Our focus is finding eco friendly alternatives to toxic yoga props. We specialize in creative designs which function as well or better than the yoga products you are familiar with, but might look a little different. We use our imagination to help you promote peace and sustainability literally both on the mat and off. Our designs are tested and endorsed by certified yoga teachers before being introduced to the market. Since they are so cutting edge and not established yet, you may have some reservations about trying them out. But remember, we have an easy returns policy and so far our customers have been elated with our yoga product designs.

The Yoga Industry is toxic!
Most yoga products are made in China usually employing child labor and inhumane conditions. The inexpensive yoga products pay a heavy price in environmental damage, and in the health of their users. We do not compromise by offering both the inexpensive yoga products along side our earth-friendly designs. Almost all yoga products dealers offer both. We make all of our yoga products in our own shop in North Carolina from chemical free ingredients (not including our PBC free sticky mat).
Stretching: These props not only aid in yoga practice, but can be used as simple furniture. When a room or house is designed with floor furniture, a yoga stretch or restorative pose can be practiced randomly throughout the day whenever the need arises to keep you in a calm, creative space, alleviating repetitive stress, back pain from chairs, and being stuck in one static position.
Simplify: This ancient approach to furniture is finding a place in modern homes, offices and studios. It is not only fun, ergonomic and interactive--it allows living in a small space with less clutter and more comfort.
Sound Sleep: Our pillows and mats keep your body in alignment for a deeper sleep and more refreshed waking hours. Studies show that sleeping on a firm surface increases circulation, lymph drainage, and aids in more restful sleep.

fllled with kapok
12 lbs. [27"x76"x2"]
This hypoallergenic, kapok-filled mat can be used for restorative yoga, resting, lying down meditations, or bodywork. Kapok is a chemical-free alternative to cotton batting. Rolls up to be strapped together with a 6' yoga strap (sold separately).
This is the traditional Japanese Futon, not an overstuffed American version. It can be used as a single or two can be placed together to form a Full Sized bed (54"x72"x2"). This is a great alternative to the organic beds and mattresses which are expensive and overstuffed.
Studies show that a firm bed is healthier, increasing circulation and providing a deeper sleep. This is the same mat as the Yoga/Massage Mat only it is stuffed with 12 pounds of kapok instead of 8. This has proven to be the best amount for sleeping. Two can be put together to make a double bed. The crack can be covered with a blanket, mattress pad, and/or fitted sheet. The crack is undetectable when covered properly.

Our eco friendly yoga mat is a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) free mat. Made of "PER” (Polymer Environmental Resin). The PVC in conventional mats is a highly toxic petroleum by-product that off gases continually throughout it's entire lifecycle. Whether you are using the mat or are just near it, you are breathing carcinogenic fumes. Some people are also allergic to natural latex. This mat does not contain phthalates or heavy metals and its method of production is completely non-toxic. Also the mat is biodegradable at the end of its lifecycle.
Care and cleaning: Occassionally wipe mat with a rag dipped in water and baking soda. For an occassional thorough cleaning, place in bathtub with a little baking soda and vinigar. Wipe well, then rinse. This mat is extremely durable and should last many years with heavy use.
Our friends at Swadeshi Yoga make environmentally friendly Yoga Clothing which is comfortable and stylish. This is one of the few places to buy clothes which are domestically manufactured. They have a full line of tops and bottoms for men and women. Click here to go to their site.
