Why We Partnered with Ananday

Jack Utermoehl

Yoga teaches us that the well-being of our bodies is inseparable from the well-being of our planet. At Asivana Yoga we look for partners who honor that connection through mindful design, sustainable materials and compassionate business practices.

Ananday is one of those partners. This small, woman-owned brand creates yoga mats, blocks and straps from renewable, plant-based materials with no plastic or toxins. Their products are designed to transform any space into a sanctuary, offering support for both body and mind.

By combining quality craftsmanship with deep respect for the earth, Ananday fits seamlessly into our curated collection.

What Makes Ananday Special

Ananday’s signature pieces are made from renewable cork and natural tree rubber, 100 percent biodegradable and free of plastic and harsh chemicals. The cork is harvested without cutting down trees; bark regenerates and cork trees absorb more carbon dioxide after each harvest.

Organic cotton and brushed zinc hardware are used for straps, and packaging is compostable and recyclable. This commitment to earth-friendly materials means you can practice knowing that your gear will eventually return to the earth.

Thoughtful Design for Every Body

Each Ananday product is crafted to meet you where you are. Their cork mat offers a soft yet grippy surface that gets more slip-resistant as you sweat. The natural rubber base cushions joints while maintaining stability.

The cork blocks have softly rounded edges and can be used at three different heights to support balance, flexibility and strength. The Align Strap includes a fixed loop for quick adjustments and stays secure even when wet. These thoughtful details make Ananday’s tools accessible to beginners and experienced practitioners alike.

Holistic Sustainability and Care

Ananday sees yoga practice as part of a larger cycle of giving back. They use no plastic in their production or packaging and offer guidance on caring for your mat and strap with natural cleaners. At the end of its life your mat can biodegrade and metal parts are fully recyclable.

Ananday also offers a Happiness Guarantee: as a small, woman-owned brand, they are committed to quality and sustainability and will refund or exchange any product within thirty days. This transparency and integrity reflect a true service mindset.
