Corc Yoga are our latest sponsor and will be joining us to support our charity initiatives, which centre around sustainability and local causes. Their story begins where many of life’s best journeys start, with adventure.
Traveling through Portugal, Corc Yoga founder Christine Moghadam discovered the beauty of one of the country’s most bountiful resources, the cork tree. With over a third of the world’s two million hectares of cork forest grown right in Portugal, the cork oak is a deeply rooted symbol of sustainability, prosperity and regeneration.
The tree’s immense ties to Portugal’s culture sparked an excitement in Christine to make use of the material in a way that gave back to local communities.
After connecting with a third generation cork developer and partnering with a century-old factory, all that was left to do was create. Christine’s debut product, a yoga mat, laid the foundation for the Corc Yoga story.
