The principle of "closed-loop", the closed material cycle, was the most important criterion in the development of the yoga accessories from hejhej: Like the yoga mat, the yoga block is also made of secondary raw materials and can be recycled. For the production, cut scraps from the foam industry are used, which are produced in large quantities, especially in mattress production. In the event, the yoga block itself can be recycled, preferably back into a block or mat, which is why you can then return the block to hejhej-mats. But until it is so far, it takes many years of intensive yoga practice.
For this, the yoga block offers good grip thanks to its textured surface, so you will find secure support in all asanas. In terms of dimensions, it is slightly wider than usual to provide enough contact surface even for large hands. The TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) coating provides additional slip resistance on the floor as well as for hands and feet. The closed-pored surface also prevents moisture or sweat from penetrating the surface. This makes the hejhej yoga block suitable for sweaty styles such as Bikram yoga, which is practiced at 40 °C room temperature.
By the way, only the manufacturer's name is Swedish. Produced the hejhej yoga accessories completely in Germany, from the material to the manufacturing.

Gentle hatha yoga, calm yin yoga, flowing vinyasa yoga or powerful, dynamic ashtanga yoga - whichever style of yoga you prefer, the right yoga mat is just as important for your yoga practice as good instruction. And as diverse as the types of yoga are, the choice of yoga mats on the market is just as large. Although natural materials such as fur, cotton, cork or leather are particularly suitable for yoga as one of the Ayurveda components, plastic mats have proven to be particularly effective for dynamic yoga styles. Not only do they provide better cushioning when practising the various asanas and vinyasas, they are also sweat-repellent and can be wiped clean. So far, so good - or not, as plastic is rightly a controversial material which, in addition to its advantages, also has many disadvantages for the environment. Anna Souvignier and Sophie Zepnik were of the same opinion and therefore searched for yoga mats made from recycled and recyclable material - in vain. What could be more obvious than to concentrate on developing a closed-loop yoga mat instead of searching? After all, both are not only enthusiastic yoginis, but also studied sustainability management in Sweden. This allowed them to bring their experience and knowledge from both areas into the development of their yoga mat. The result was a completely recyclable yoga mat - which also meets all the other criteria that are important to them - and their newly founded company hejhej-mats. They have since expanded their range to include other products that are also recyclable.
