About us

Namaste

Root & River was born from a desire to honour yoga as both practice and ritual. We are here for those who move with grace, tread lightly, and expect more from the tools they welcome into their lives.

Our mats are crafted with care, inspired by the quiet strength of rivers, forests, and earth. More than equipment, they are companions for your journey, grounding you in the present while flowing with you into what comes next.

This is yoga, without compromise.
This is Root & River.

Our ethos

At Root & River, yoga mirrors the rhythm of the natural world: steady yet alive, rooted yet ever-changing. We design not just for performance, but for presence. Each mat is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with yourself and the earth beneath you.

Our ethos is simple: beauty and ethics must coexist. Every detail is intentional, every choice a reflection of respect. We create not just tools for practice, but moments where movement meets meaning.

Our promise of sustainability

We believe true luxury treads lightly. Every Root & River mat is made from premium polyurethane and natural rubber, free from PVC, formaldehyde, and toxic dyes. Our packaging is crafted from recycled and recyclable materials, with minimal ink and copper accents chosen for their quiet beauty and reduced impact.

We promise to keep sustainability at the center of every decision, from the materials we source to the rituals we inspire, ensuring your practice supports both body and planet.

Our maker's seal

Our maker's seal takes the form of a peacock feather, a symbol of beauty and renewal in India, where yoga first began. From a quiet village in the English countryside, where peacocks roam freely, to the ancient roots of practice in India, the feather carries a shared story of care, quality and connection.

It is a mark of trust: a reminder that each piece is crafted with integrity, bridging cultures and honouring the lineage of yoga. Wherever your practice unfolds, the seal is both signature and promise, rooted in tradition, flowing into your life.
