Discover KOA Yoga
KOA yoga is a sustainable sports apparel, and yoga mats brand from Barcelona. Three young Barcelona enthusiasts founded KOA Yoga with a passion for doing better for our planet.
At Koa Yoga, they believe that yoga is not just a sport; it is a way of living. Koa is primarily a male name of Hawaiian origin that means Warrior, Brave One. Being a “yogi” means being able to navigate life challenges masterfully. The KOA Yoga's name comes from a clear set of guidelines on how to live a sustainable lifestyle and a dedication to providing the most stylish, sustainable clothing down to every detail.
KOA Yoga’s tops, leggings, and sweatshirts are produced in small batches on their premises in Barcelona to ensure excellent and safe working conditions. The yoga mats are made of a natural rubber base and a particular biodegradable polyurethane top layer with excellent grippy traction. The yoga wear is made from ECONYL®, a material derived from recycled sea waste such as fishnets.
All the other components, including the labels, hang tags, and packaging, are recycled and respectful of our Planet.
What’s so unique about KOA Yoga?
KOA Yoga’s philosophy is based on 4 Rs: rescue, regenerate, remake and reimagine.
Rescue
The ECONYL® Regeneration System recovers waste that would otherwise end up in landfills or oceans, like fishing nets, fabric scraps, carpet flooring, and industrial plastic, causing severe damage to the entire ecosystem.
Regenerate
The sorted and cleaned landfill or ocean waste can be regenerated infinitely to produce new polymers with technical characteristics and quality equivalent to products obtained from fossil materials. It means that ECONYL® regenerated nylon is the same as virgin nylon.
Remake
ECONYL® regenerated nylon is processed into the carpet and textile yarn for the fashion and interior design industries.
Reimagine
The beauty of ECONYL® regenerated nylon is that it has the potential to be recycled infinitely without ever losing its quality. They believe that circular design is the future, and using ECONYL® is our first step in that journey.
Best grip ever
KOA Yoga’s mats are created to help yoginis align, balance, and have a better yoga practice with their accessories. Additionally, KOA Yoga’s mats are different from most other yoga mats available on the market. The combination of natural rubber and biodegradable top layer creates a perfect mat that absorbs moisture and helps you get the best grip during sweaty workout sessions. Its adjustment system is designed to help you focus your attention and adjust your hands and feet to the correct position to keep your body aligned during your yoga practice. On top of that, they are chemical-odor free; they are longer and broader than other mats on the market, which makes their mats a genuinely high-quality product.
