The Ocean Mat by Southern Shores – the Whale Friendly Yoga Mat

Yoga mats made of natural rubber are the first choice for many yogis – the slip resistance is unmatched. The start-up Southern Shores is making functional rubber mats even more sustainable with The Ocean Mat. The soft, stable and stylish Ocean Mats are made of FSC-certified natural rubber and recycled plastic bottles, and they cause no waste during production. The natural colors of the mats are intended to convey a sense of calm during exercise. In addition, the start-up is setting an example: One percent of the company’s turnover goes to the protection of dolphins and whales.

Foundation: Germany, 2019
