ROCKLEOPARD - Sharing the Benefits of Sustainable Yoga Products
From Personal Path to Sustainable Manufacturing
I learned what panic attacks were after driving to the hospital thinking I was having a heart attack.
The doctor recognized the symptoms immediately.
I was sweating, breathless, disoriented. My heart was pounding in my chest like the bass drum in a techno song.
“What do you do for work?” he asked. “Is there stress in your life?”
I can laugh now, because at the time, every aspect of my life was STRESS.
I worked a job I hated after failing in business, I was in a new country and had zero friends, I had a childhood filled with bullying and abuse.
I was basically a walking hand grenade with the pin pulled.
I needed help.
I saw a shrink who put me on half the pills in the pharmacy.
I turned into a walking corpse.
I couldn’t live like that, but without them I couldn’t live.
And then one day, my wife suggested that I try yoga… I scoffed. I was not the yoga type.
But yoga saved my life.
I got off the pills, my breathing slowed, my mind stopped racing, I was present in life, and genuinely happy.
But with time it really helped me slow down my thoughts and be more present in life.
It made me want to help others as I realized that so many of us are secretly suffering with anxiety and self doubt but not many of us are self aware enough to notice it, just like me for many years.
By wanting to help others with their mental health, this was taking me back to being more in line with my true self, to run my own business that helped others.
So why start a yoga company you ask?
We quickly realized a problem with yoga products - they were not built to last and were often made from unsustainable materials.
We couldn't bear the thought of these products ending up in landfills after a relatively short period of time. That's why we set out to create durable products that would stand the test of time.
Our commitment to the environment goes beyond durability.
We make every effort to minimize our impact on the planet, from using sustainable materials and achieving zero-emission manufacturing to using recyclable packaging and offsetting our carbon footprint with each delivery.
For every unit sold, we plant 10 trees in Madagascar to help replenish the earth.
We believe our products can help you unlock your inner strength and become your fitness partner.
Let us provide the tools you need to reach your goals and make lasting changes towards a happier, healthier life. Together, with courage, determination, and focus, we can create a better future.
We Are Proudly
