Why are we practising yoga on non-environmentally-friendly plastic-mats, that aren't matching our mindset?
While there are sneakers and backpacks made out of recycled PET-bottles, why aren't there any yogamats with that sustainable approach?
Those were the questions that were buzzing around in Hanna's mind shortly before the idea of yōyoka was born. An idea defying and cheeky
Hanna met Christin at a startup-event of the company which produces backpacks out of plastic-bottles. Christin is not only a yoga teacher but also brings in experience working in the purchasing and sustainability department of a German retailer. This made her the perfect match for Hanna, who is equipped with endless drive and the will to act. Together, with the combined conviction to make the world a better place, to reduce the usage ressources in order to keep the planet worthy to live on.
