Our Story

ZenFit was founded in 2011 by a collective of passionate yoga practitioners who were frustrated with the quality of yoga equipment available on the market. What began as a small project creating better yoga mats for friends and family quickly evolved into a mission to provide the highest quality, eco-friendly yoga and wellness products to practitioners worldwide.

Our journey started in a small workshop in Miyagi, Japan, where our founders meticulously designed and tested prototypes with local yoga instructors. After months of refinement, our flagship eco-friendly yoga mat was born—combining the perfect balance of grip, cushioning, and sustainability that was missing from the market.

Word spread quickly about our dedication to quality, and within our first year, we expanded our product line to include yoga blocks, straps, and meditation cushions. Each addition maintained our core principles: exceptional functionality, sustainable materials, and beautiful design.

Today, ZenFit has grown into a respected name in the yoga community, serving practitioners in over 40 countries. While we've expanded significantly, our commitment to our founding principles remains unwavering. Every product is still thoughtfully designed, rigorously tested by yoga professionals, and crafted with eco-conscious materials.
