About Us!

ZenCork was born in Byron Bay, inspired by the ocean, hinterlands, and a love for mindful movement. We create premium yoga products that feel as good for the planet as they do for your practice.

About the Founder

I’m Mark Whittington, founder of ZenCork. Hiking, surfing, staying active, and creative pursuits are a big part of my life. I wanted to bring the same energy and care into products that enhance movement, recovery and wellness all whilst being kind to the planet.

Why We’re Different

Unlike mass-produced yoga gear that often sacrifices quality for cost, ZenCork is built on Grade A manufacturing standards to ensure every mat and accessory meets the highest level of performance and durability. Where other brands rely on synthetic foams and plastics, we choose natural cork and sustainably harvested rubber materials that are not only superior in grip and resilience but also 100% biodegradable and non-toxic. Our design philosophy rejects cluttered prints and gimmicks in favor of a clean, minimalist aesthetic that reflects mindful living and timeless style. Beyond the mat itself, every detail sets us apart: a custom ZenCork woven carry strap for easy transport, a premium microfibre cloth for simple, effective care, and fully recyclable, plastic-free packaging that eliminates unnecessary waste. Most companies stop at selling you a product; we’ve crafted a system that supports your practice, your recovery, and the planet. ZenCork is not just another yoga brand, it’s a premium, eco-conscious alternative that puts performance, sustainability, and design integrity first.

Our Ethos

Wellness should extend beyond the mat. That’s why our products are sustainably made, biodegradable, and packaged responsibly. Every choice reflects our commitment to the planet and your practice.

Our Promise

Functional, eco-friendly, and beautifully made, ZenCork products are built for studios, beaches, or hinterland adventures supporting your wellness journey while staying true to Byron Bay’s natural spirit.
