Hi, we’re 42 Birds—and we’re so glad you’re here.
42 Birds brings a new level of sustainability and eco-conscious design to the yoga community. We’re passionate about building an inclusive brand that creates high-quality yoga mats and accessories, guided by a mindful, progressive approach in everything we do.
Nature is our greatest source of inspiration. It informs every detail of our products—beautiful, functional pieces designed to feel grounded in your favorite studio or your living space.
All of our yoga mats and accessories are made from cork, harvested from oak trees grown throughout the Mediterranean. This practice has been carried out for over 1,000 years and is considered one of the most sustainable and environmentally friendly harvesting methods in the world. We’re honored to support the forests, farmers, and native ecosystems that make our products possible.
By choosing 42 Birds, you’re helping protect cork forests, support farming communities, and preserve the many species that call these landscapes home. Discovering cork elevated our own yoga practice, and we believe you’ll feel the difference too.
Each purchase also gives back to the planet. Every year, we donate a portion of our proceeds to an organization that helps make the world a better place.
Thank you for supporting the 42 bird species that inhabit cork forests—and for being part of our community.
