About Us

We are a family farm in the Hurunui; Kaiora Downs Mats was born out of our passion for wool and keeping things local. The wool stays within Canterbury for all stages of its production, and is shaped into yoga mats, boot-liners and other woolly delights for your comfort & enjoyment

Kaiora Downs Mats

Born in the foothills of the Hurunui hill-country, these yoga mats were designed to bring the outdoors and the inner self together.​

Wool

Created with an ethos of minimal impact, we have simply washed, dyed & felted 100% NZ wool, almost as untouched as nature intended it to be.

Vision

The sheep are raised & shorn on Kaiora Downs. The wool is all proudly scoured (washed), felted and dyed within the Canterbury region before returning home for its final stages of production.

Design

The yoga mats are currently designed for a low – medium impact exercise session. We have affixed a natural latex to the back of the mat to help prevent slipping.

Our vision for this   product is cyclical.

When your mat has reached the end of its life it can be up-cycled to be used as pet-bedding, or weed mats and eventually composted back into the earth.
