Theo Robinson’s Design Mantra

Discovery Bay International School student Theo Robinson, 17, has come up with KaiJai, a feelgood yoga mat that’s eco-friendly, reasonably priced, durable, stylish… and selling like hot cakes.

After six months’ research, Theo started small with an order of 120 5mm, cork-topped mats in July 2021. By January this year, he was back on the phone to the factory in Jiangsu ordering 200 easy-to-carry, 3.5mm mats, 100 topped in cork and 100 topped in polyurethane (PU). 

“Our mats are made in China because that was the only place we could find a manufacturer who met our demands to create high-quality mats at affordable prices, while still staying eco-friendly,” Theo says. “We only use materials that are sustainably sourced.”

Theo’s mats are available at Escapade Sports (www.escapade.com.hk) and through his company website (www.kaijai.store). KaiJia mats are thoughtfully marked up with alignment lines for those who are serious about their yoga.
