OUR STORY
An innovative solution for yoga, through the art of Ayurveda.
At Bennd, our passion for yoga, wellness, and the environment sparked a curiosity to create a yoga brand that would evoke change in the yoga industry.
Imagine practicing on a yoga mat that is medicinal. Close your eyes, place your hands at heart center. Take a deep breath, breathing in through your nose. Hold it. Now imagine that these medicines are absorbing into your skin, flowing through your body, creating a positive change. Exhale. Open your eyes, look down at your beautiful, plant dyed, hand-loomed, eco-friendly, all-natural, yoga mat. We bet you are smiling because we are too. We are so happy you are here. Together we can be the evolution for change.

Eco-Friendly
We work to nurture and harmonize our elements by using the leftover dye
bath for natural fertilizer into our gardens. In addition, we recycle our scraps into paper for our branding and packaging.
MEET OUR FOUNDER
“Our goal at Bennd is to change people’s mindset by educating them on a healthy way to practice yoga for their bodies and our planet.”
Our founder, Heather Parkin - an avid health and wellness advocate and dedicated yogi - knows that yoga can do amazing things for our mind, body, and spirit. In her years of experience, she observed a major problem: most yoga products on the market today are made up of toxic synthetic materials and are chemically dyed and treated. She realized that every time she practiced yoga she was absorbing these chemicals and inhaling the fumes that were used to make the mat. Even if the mats were made out of natural materials- they were chemically dyed and treated or had toxic binding agents to hold them together. This was an alarming discovery, as the very thing she relied on to further her own health and wellness, was having a negative effect on those very things.
This started her quest to find something better. Heather was determined to find a healthier way to create yoga mats. Combined with her knowledge and passion for holistic living, she has created a yoga mat and accessory line like no other.
