The Yoga Industry is toxic!
Most yoga products are made in China often employing child labor and inhumane conditions. The inexpensive yoga products pay a heavy price in environmental damage. We do not compromise by offering both the inexpensive yoga products along side our earth-friendly designs. Almost all yoga products dealers offer both. We make all of our yoga products in our own shop in North Carolina from chemical free ingredients.
*Innovation
We are always hard at work sourcing earth friendly ingredients and revolutionizing traditional designs to fit the new materials. We have introduced several bold products to the market beginning in 2002 with a kapok stuffed zabuton. We take the risk of loosing sales because the environment is so important to us. We are the first to design a recycled-wood meditation bench and the ONLY yoga block which is manufactured in the United States.
*Furniture for Small Spaces
Traditional Japanese Furniture is very suited to small spaces. An ancient culture developed on a crowded island finds a perfect fit with today's cities where space is limited. Big cars and big houses are going out of style. Small spaces are easier to heat and cool and require less resources to build. With this at once ancient and revolutionary concept in interior design, a small room can be spacious, and serve multifunctions without sacrificing comfort and quality of life.
*We donate to the Drepung Loseling Monestary
Drepung Loseling Institute is dedicated to the study and preservation of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. A center for the cultivation of both heart and intellect, it provides a sanctuary for the nurturance of inner peace and kindness, community understanding, and global healing.
*Certified Green Business
We are a certified green business and have been for 20 years. Click on the image above to see our environmental committment.
*RECYCLINGs
We print only a one page brochure on recycled paper. We recycle everything possible. Our fabric scaps are donated to a local charity which makes them into blankets for the homeless. We employ LEAN manufacturing techniques which makes our operation super efficient and competitive even in the Global Economy. We are constantly working on reducing our energy needs.
*Made in America
We are one of the last holdouts of manufacturing businesses still in operation that haven't moved overseas. We employ people in a rural Appalacian region which prevents extra driving and helps the local economy.
*We Practice what we Preach
We believe at the crux of the environmental crisis is a fundamental problem with our ability to be present to the beauty of the moment, which leads to constant striving, craving, and a feeling of "never having enough". Meditation is a way to access those inner realms which opens the heart and increases awareness and compassion for all beings.
