Slippery mats are a common challenge shared by yoga enthusiasts. Recognising a significant gap in the local market for high-quality, eco-friendly yoga mats, Wolo Yoga was founded in 2021. The company is dedicated to providing vegan leather mats that not only enhance grip and durability but also contribute to environmental sustainability. Initiatives include planting a tree for each product sold and supporting carbon offset projects.

Today on Open For Business, we speak to Dean Yeong, Co-Founder of Wolo Yoga. We'll explore the origins of Wolo Yoga, delve into the research and development process of their products, and discuss their deep commitment to sustainability practices.
