In a world full of plastic props and greenwashed alternatives, we made a very intentional choice at Amethira: cork. It’s not trendy. It’s timeless. It’s grounding. It’s good for the planet. And honestly? It just feels better.
Cork is harvested by hand from cork oak trees—mostly in Portugal—without cutting them down. The bark regenerates naturally, making cork one of the most sustainable materials on Earth. These trees can live for over 200 years, and their bark can be harvested again and again without harm.
It’s also naturally antimicrobial and non-toxic. Unlike foam or synthetic materials, cork doesn’t absorb sweat, stink, or harbor bacteria. It holds its shape, gives just the right amount of grip, and looks damn beautiful doing it.
But it’s not just about the facts—it’s about the feel. There’s something deeply grounding about cork. It’s earthy. It’s textured. It reminds you where you came from. That’s why we use it in our massage tools, yoga props, and mantra cards. Because we believe your rituals deserve better.
When you hold one of our cork pieces, you’re not just holding a wellness tool. You’re holding a rooted ritual—something made to restore you, not distract you. Something built for daily use, for your nervous system, for your return to stillness.
We didn’t choose cork by accident. We chose it with purpose. And we think you’ll feel the difference.
