genYOuine Non-slip Cork Yogo MatsI created genYOUine in the hopes bringing a greater love of self and earth into the yoga world.

Since I was young I have been enthralled by the outdoors and kept my body moving and active while enjoying nature. When I moved to the city, yoga seemed so interesting… but it was so intimidating!

Girls who were incredibly skinny and flexible dominated the classes I attended and always made me feel inadequate. Through the twisting and turning of life though, I found myself in Rishikesh India, the birthplace of yoga, and began my teacher training course. I slowly began to build my skills and was introduced to cork yoga mats, something that everyone there seemed to know about!

As I started practicing on the cork mats, I was amazed at how much deeper I could settle into my poses and how much more stable I felt in my movements. Previously I had used all different sorts of mats and had been so frustrated by the constant repositioning I had to do to stay put.

And hence, genYOUine was born! A company that is here to make yoga do-able for EVERYONE! A company that is not only socially, but environmentally friendly. Based on principles of individuality, adventure, growth and transparency, we aim to create a community where business brings good into the world. A world where people can explore, better themselves and be completely happy in what makes them genYOUine.
