HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT
Sustainable
Sustainability is a founding pillar at 42 Birds. From responsibly sourced cork and natural rubber to eco-friendly packaging, every detail is considered for its impact on the planet.
Wellness should support the Earth as deeply as it supports you — creating a grounded practice that connects body, breath, and planet.
BEAUTIFUL
Your mat is part of your home, your ritual, your daily rhythm — it should feel as beautiful as the practice itself.
42 Birds blends natural materials with elevated, artful design so your mat and accessories feel intentional, not industrial. These are pieces you don’t hide in a closet. They live in your space, studio, and should be shown off to your community.
CLEAN
Clean isn’t just about ingredients — it’s about intention. In yoga philosophy, Saucha, one of the five Niyammas, speaks to purity and clarity, both within and around us. Our cork surface is naturally antimicrobial, resisting odor and bacteria without harsh chemical treatments. No PVC. No toxic glues. No synthetic top layers. Just materials you can trust — creating a clean foundation for your body, your breath, and your practice.
PERFORMANCE
Designed for serious practice, our mats and blocks grip better as you sweat. The cork surface activates with moisture, creating a grounded, slip-resistant foundation for everything from slow flow to heated classes.
The Robin mat features a natural TPE backing that keeps it securely slip-free while remaining lightweight — making it effortless to move from studio to home and everywhere in between.
Our Imperial Eagle mat, cushioned with natural rubber, provides joint support without compromising stability — so you feel strong, steady, and supported.
Conscientious
We pride ourselves on the concept that business should be thoughtful. From ethical manufacturing partners to small-batch production and intentional growth, we make decisions with care — not just for margins, but for impact. 42 Birds exists to create products we’re proud to stand on, in every sense of the word.
Additionally, through our partnership with 1% for the Planet, we dedicate a minimum of 1% of annual sales to environmental nonprofits driving meaningful change. Learn more about the partners we are Giving Back to here.
COMMUNITY
42 Birds was built for connection — between body and breath, maker and mover, brand and community. We collaborate with teachers, studios, and conscious retailers who share our values. When you choose 42 Birds, you’re not just buying a mat — you’re joining a movement of people practicing with intention.
