hi, hello, hey!
Welcome to the Mat Collective
Based in the stunning Mount Maunganui, The Mat Collective is a prime example of making lemonade when you've been given lemons. Covid flipped my world upside down this year. After a few nights of feeling hopeless, lots of tears, and probably a few wines too many, an opportunity came to me to create The Mat Collective.
I have always been a big believer in the benefits of yoga and have reaped the rewards personally through regular practice. Over the last couple years I noticed that there are still many people who for many reasons have not dived into the yoga world, one of those being that they didn't feel like they'd fit in because they aren't 'yogis'. This is something that has bothered me and with lots of downtime during Covid, it gave me the time to plan and address this issue. I also noticed that yoga mats on the market generally were not necesarrily very exciting in design or of the best quality. This started my mission for creating durable, ecofriendly yoga mats with stunning designs to fit each personality.
The Mat Collective to me is more than just a product based business. I want to create a community where everyone feels welcome, no matter your experience level or background! You don’t have to be a hardcore health enthusiast to join our family. I welcome the working mum/dad who juggles the chaos of working, running a household, and racing the kids to sport activities on the weekend. I welcome the surfe who chases waves, lives for summer and works as a tradie when the swells aren’t there. No matter how you would describe yourself, I welcome you into our community!
My yoga mats have been designed with a natural tree rubber base, and microfibre suede surface on top to give a luxurious, high end product. A yoga mat should be an extension of yourself, a reflection of your personality. I aim to design mats with a wide variety of options so that there is a design for every person out there.
I can't wait to grow this community and with your help, I believe we can do amazing things!
Love, Ruby xx
