SUPPORTING THE PLANET, ONE PRACTICE AT A TIME
At atha, sustainability isn’t an add-on — it’s part of everything we do. From the materials we choose to the partners we work with, we make decisions that support your well-being and the health of our planet.
Yoga is rooted in presence, care, and respect — not just for ourselves, but for the world around us — and that belief guides how we design and make every product, selecting responsibly sourced materials, ensuring non-toxic performance and durability, reducing environmental impact, and creating long-lasting products designed to minimize waste. We don’t chase trends — we build products to be used, loved, and kept for years.
RESPONSIBLE MATERIALS & DESIGN
atha products are crafted with materials that are better for both your body and the earth. We prioritize non-toxic, body-friendly materials and avoid harmful plastics and additives such as PVC, TPE, and PER. This means no chemical odors, safer skin contact, and a healthier practice environment.
Our mats feature high-performance Eco-PU sourced from Japan and natural cork surfaces, chosen for their durability, grip, and eco-conscious qualities. Cork is renewable, naturally antimicrobial, and provides a comfortable, non-slip texture that enhances your practice while reducing environmental impact.
The base of our yoga mats is made from FSC®-certified natural rubber, responsibly managed and traceable to sustainable forests. Every material we choose—Eco-PU, cork, and natural rubber—is carefully selected to balance performance, longevity, and environmental care, so your practice can be safe, sustainable, and enjoyable.
EARTH-FRIENDLY MANUFACTURING
We believe sustainability includes how things are made, not just what they are made of. atha works with partners who follow ethical manufacturing standards and aim to reduce waste, energy consumption, and emissions throughout production. We continuously evaluate our processes to seek improvements that align with our values.
PACKAGING & END-OF-LIFE CONSIDERATIONS
We use packaging that is 98% plastic-free, recyclable, and intentionally minimal while still offering proper protection. Because less waste is better waste, we avoid unnecessary extras, and when a product reaches the end of its useful life, we encourage responsible recycling whenever possible to help minimize landfill impact.
OUR IMPACT — TREE PLANTING PARTNERSHIP
For every product sold, atha plants five trees through our reforestation partner, helping sequester carbon, support biodiversity, stabilize soil, and strengthen local ecosystems. Your practice now contributes to a real, measurable environmental impact — one tree at a time. Thank you for being part of a community that values presence, sustainability, and collective care.

HOW YOU CAN PRACTICE SUSTAINABLY
Yoga isn’t just what you do on the mat — it’s how you move through your life. Practice sustainability by choosing durable gear over disposable alternatives, caring for your products so they last longer, reusing, repairing, and recycling whenever possible, and supporting brands that prioritize environmental care. Small choices become lasting habits.
