At Yoga Design Lab, the belief is in transforming yoga into a vibrant experience that inspires connection, creativity, and sustainability. Born on the sandy beaches of Bali, the brand was founded with a vision to infuse joy into every practice through artful design and eco-conscious innovation. The journey began when the founder noticed a lack of visually inspiring yoga gear and set out to create mats, towels, and props that blend high-performance functionality with stunning aesthetics. Drawing inspiration from nature, art, and the global yoga community, each product is designed to bring beauty and mindfulness to your flow.
The company is deeply committed to sustainability. From using natural tree rubber and water-based inks to incorporating recycled plastic bottles into materials, Yoga Design Lab ensures its impact on the planet is as positive as the energy brought to its mats. Yoga Design Lab is more than just a brand; it is a movement that celebrates the intersection of wellness, art, and conscious living. Whether you are on the mat for the first time or deepening a lifelong practice, the mission is to support your journey with tools that elevate your experience, both inside and out.
The vision is to create a better world for the next generation by offering products that are kind to the earth. Yoga Design Lab creates vibrant, high-performance yoga mats and accessories using sustainable materials and working with socially responsible factories. While understanding the impossibility of leaving no environmental footprint, the company is committed to doing its best to tread as lightly as possible.
Some of the ways this commitment to sustainability is demonstrated include:
• Recycled Microfiber: Recycled PET is proudly used in a variety of products to help keep plastic out of oceans and landfills. Old plastic bottles are repurposed into an ultra-absorbent microfiber material found in combo mats, towels, bags, and bolsters. Using R-PET is beneficial for the environment, and this suede-like material offers amazing grip, absorption, and cozy softness to yoga products. To date, over 861,000 plastic bottles have been diverted.
• Renewable Cork: Cork mats, wheels, and blocks are made using the outer bark of the cork oak tree. Cork trees are unique in that they regenerate stripped bark, meaning no trees are cut down to harvest cork. Instead, the bark is stripped by hand every nine years, allowing each tree to regenerate fully. Harvested cork oak trees can live up to 300 years. Cork is naturally anti-microbial, meaning it will not absorb odor and bacteria, increases its grip as it gets warmer, and provides supportive, durable cushioning.
• Natural Rubber: Experience comfort and support during your yoga practice with Yoga Design Lab's mats. The mats feature a sustainable, non-Amazonian natural tree rubber base layer that offers a springy ride to cushion and protect your joints. Whether practicing inversions, balances, or flows, these mats provide stable and supportive grip for every pose. Unlike foam base layers, natural rubber remains stable on the floor and provides denser cushioning for optimal performance.
Non-toxic, water-based inks are used to print product designs. Packaging is being updated to use recycled kraft paper labels and boxes, with active efforts to minimize packaging. While not perfect, the company strives to find solutions that are better for the planet and the community in every endeavor. As you roll out your mat and step into your flow, know that you are part of something bigger—a movement that values mindfulness, art, and the wellbeing of our planet. Together, let us reimagine what it means to live intentionally, to inspire through action, and to make every moment, on and off the mat, truly extraordinary. Join in creating a brighter, more colorful world, one practice at a time. Live. Beautiful.®
