HejHej-Mats
Two yoginis, both holding master’s degrees in sustainability management, set out to bring circular thinking all the way down to the yoga mat. Since founding the company, they’ve followed circular-economy principles, becoming the first yoga brand to produce sustainable, closed-loop equipment. Hejhej’s products are made from recycled material and can be returned in full to either the ecological or the technical cycle. Quality and longevity matter deeply to them, which is why they keep refining their products continuously. They minimize rejects and sell any imperfect pieces through their “Unperfektshop.” Their innovation has earned repeated recognition, including nominations for the German Sustainability Award (2023, 2024) and the Federal Ecodesign Award (2018). In 2024, the patent for the Hejhej mat was officially granted. The mat wins people over with its appealing design and unrolls effortlessly. A practical snap-button strap makes it quick to roll up and stow after practice.
Jade Yoga
Jade Yoga makes eco-friendly yoga mats from sustainable natural rubber. The mats contain no PVC or EVA and are manufactured in the United States under strict environmental and labor standards. For every mat sold, Jade Yoga plants a tree in partnership with Trees for the Future — more than 2 million so far. The brand’s story began with natural rubber carpet padding, until the company realized in 2000 that yoga mats were often too slippery. That led to the first non-slip natural rubber yoga mat, the Jade Harmony. Beyond its environmental commitments, Jade Yoga is socially engaged too, using its Community Partners program to open up access to yoga for underserved groups. The company also supports charitable causes, including special-edition mats in distinctive colors that raise funds for breast and ovarian cancer research. Manufacturing in the US ensures quality, environmental responsibility, and fair labor conditions throughout. Jade Yoga remains a family-run company committed to sustainability, its yoga community, and social impact.
Saint Charles
Saint Charles was founded as a Vienna pharmacy in 1886 and reimagined in 2006 to bring tradition together with modern wellbeing. Alongside pharmacies in Vienna and Berlin, the brand runs stores in several cities as well as a spa, a natural cosmetics shop, and a health center. Its range spans roughly 400 products across natural cosmetics, aromatherapy, and herbal medicine, all rooted in Traditional European Medicine. Sustainability sits at the core of the brand — Saint Charles has been B Corp certified since 2023. CEO Richard König and founder Alexander Ehrmann lead the company with a shared passion for health, natural medicine, and holistic wellbeing. Saint Charles’s Yoga Essentials Set is the perfect gift for yoga lovers and supports a more relaxing practice. The Apotheker yoga mat spray, made with natural essential oils, cleans the mat and freshens the air around it. The Rising Heart yoga body spray blends warm citrus and vanilla notes for a soothing atmosphere. After practice, the ginger-lemongrass tea restores inner balance and wellbeing, served in an elegant glass container. The set offers everything needed for a harmonious yoga experience, supporting both relaxation and focus.

The bolster is durable, sustainable, and comfortable.

Ikarus

IKARUS is a menswear activewear brand that brings together functionality, sustainability, and style. Founded in Cologne in 2020 by Claudio Heinzmann and Daniel Hoffmann, the idea grew out of a simple observation: men often don’t know what to wear for yoga or movement-based sports. Claudio discovered yoga in Los Angeles and realized there was a real gap in comfortable, functional clothing for men. IKARUS was born from that gap — a label built around freedom of movement and comfort. The name itself symbolizes the pursuit of balance and growth, even through setbacks. IKARUS stands for more than fashion — it’s about inspiration, self-realization, and genuine authenticity. Its tagline, “REAL IS RARE,” is an invitation to stay true to yourself and learn from your mistakes. Their mission: the perfect movement outfit for men who want to feel good, move freely, and grow — inside and out. The IKARUS Signature T-Shirt may look simple, but it wins people over with premium, breathable materials, a functional cut, and sustainable production. Suited to both sport and everyday life — comfortable, durable, and stylish without unnecessary frills.
The new PHOENIX Pants stand out for their bamboo-based fabric blend, offering maximum comfort, breathability, and sustainability. Durable, stretchy, and with a higher waistband for a secure fit — perfect for flexible training and movement.
Rosental
Rosental’s mission is to support their customers’ wellbeing through natural skincare, innovative ingredients, and effective beauty tools. Their products are pure, unrefined, and PETA-approved — free of artificial additives, and never heated or treated to neutralize scent or color, preserving the plants’ full potency. As a conscious brand and INCI experts, Rosental supports sustainable choices and champions self-love, body awareness, and holistic wellbeing. They work with carefully selected suppliers and support producers directly on the ground. Their commitment extends well beyond skincare: during Black Weeks, every order triggered the collection of 1 kg of plastic waste from coastal regions, which was then fed back into the recycling process. That’s how they support both your skin and the environment, for a better future.
The 100% natural Clarifying Oil helps calm skin irritation like acne, supports regeneration, and deeply hydrates the skin. The Gua Sha stones provide a relaxing, soothing effect on skin.
Kismet
Kismet brings together fashion, functionality, and sustainability for active, independent women. The outfits fit perfectly during practice, yet remain stylish enough to wear all day long. Kismet’s kimonos embody modern boho chic, with sustainability at their core: premium recycled or natural materials, processed under fair conditions in family-run production facilities in India.
