about us.
a heart-led company, Manawa, we want to live in alignment with Papatūānuku (our mother earth), treading lightly and as intentionally as possible. We're done with options that harm her!
Earth-consciousness meets peace and recovery. Our yoga gear is designed with integrity, using only materials that respect the earth and your practice.
Features the goodness of cork and natural tree rubber; Cork, a renewable resource, brings comfort and stability to your yoga and meditation practice. Paired with recycled tree rubber for added support, these mats only improve as you use them. Our mats grip better when you sweat, and cork's natural antimicrobial properties keep germs and mold at bay. When it’s time to retire your mat, it can gracefully return to the earth, just as nature intended.
We’re committed to being the ancestors future generations will be proud of, offering products that reflect this responsibility. Each design is unique, made in small batches. And as we grow we are constantly exploring new ways to lessen our environmental footprint. Whether it’s through offsetting our carbon emissions, investing in impactful environmental organizations, or pursuing certifications that hold us accountable to the highest standards of sustainability—our journey toward greater responsibility is ongoing. We are committed to finding innovative and meaningful ways to make a positive impact on the planet.
Watch this space as we continue to evolve!
In honour of my ancestors; Manawa (ma-na-wa) in Te Reo Māori translates to heart, patience, and breath
—qualities that embody our approach and inspire us to create with authenticity.
Got questions? We’re here to chat. Let's create a mindful future together
—no compromises for the earth.
