Wild Coast Yoga was dreamed up in Raglan by two friends, Bridget & Mon.

The girls passion for yoga along with sustainability and a love of the ocean led them to start the brand in 2017 when they saw a gap in the market for environmentally friendly deluxe yoga mats in New Zealand.

Every Wild Coast Yoga mat is created with a natural tree rubber base, captured from the sap of the Hevea Brasiliensis, a sustainable and renewable source. When the Havea Brasiliensis tree reaches maturity the sap is gently extracted from the rubber tree just like a maple tree is tapped. The natural rubber base is then bonded with a soft, luxurious microfibre surface made from recycled plastic bottles, and then printed with non toxic water based ink. As well as being an eco-friendly yoga mat, natural tree rubber provides a high traction base, better durability and won’t retain moisture like other synthetic rubbers. Wild Coast Yoga mats are free from PVC, Silicone,and Phthalates. We proudly ship without plastic, using recyclable cardboard boxes.

At Wild Coast Yoga we are passionate about the ocean and strive to give back to our beautiful planet. We proudly donate $1 from every yoga mat sold to our native Maui Dolphins.

Maui Dolphins are found only off the west coast of the North Island - nowhere else in the world. They are the worlds smallest and rarest dolphin and are critically endangered with under 50 left.

Fishing through conventional trawling and set netting has pushed Maui dophins to the brink of extinction.

Together we can raise enough funds to protect these dolphins, and help affected fisherman and communities to switch to dophin-friendly methods.

Ocean lovers and surfers, our brand started from a single drone image taken one summer morning at the world class Indicators surf break. Founder Mon was capturing the surf and shot an aerial view of Indi - with its turquoise water and rocky coastline.

'It was around the time that Bridget and I were both looking to invest in a yoga mat' Mon explains, 'We both wanted a sustainable yoga mat however we were in search of the perfect print. The moment I showed Bridget this Indi photo I had captured she said how incredible it would look on a yoga mat! The rest is history and Wild Coast Yoga began.

'There is something so calming about the ocean' says Bridget 'We wanted yogis to embrace everything the ocean has to offer and get swept away from their everyday life while on our mats.

''It's such a magical feeling when people first see our mats, they instantly are reminded of past beach memories they have or destinations they long to visit.

To this day we continue traveling New Zealand coastlines and beyond capturing the perfect aerial shots to add to the Wild Coast collection.
