Yoga practice at the service of the Island

Practicing yoga often means coming to seek personal well-being: relaxing, breathing more freely, fully inhabiting one’s body. But the philosophy of yoga reminds us that self-care cannot be dissociated from caring for others and the world around us. A sincere practice does not stop at the feeling of well-being felt at the end of the session: it also expresses itself out of the mat, in our daily choices, in the way we live in the world.

It is in this spirit that the commitment "1% for Moʻorea" was born.

1% for Mo'orea : a concrete commitment since 2023 🌿

Since 2023, Cindy has commited to donate 1 % Mat&More – Moʻorea profits to a local association working for the protection of the island, respect for its environment and the well-being of its inhabitants.

Each practice makes a difference 🌺

Concretely, it means that every time you unroll your mat with us, you participate in this commitment.

Without additional effort, without any step to take. Your personal practice then becomes a broader act:

• take care of your body & mind

• support local actions

• contribute to preserving Mo'orea

A yoga session = a gesture for the island 🤍

A practice related to the land 🏝️

The island offers us a living environment and breathtaking 'studios' 🤩

Living in Mo'orea, practicing and teaching yoga is a privilege, and it implies a form of responsibility: that of contributing, at our level, to the preservation of the land that welcomed us. Supporting local initiatives means recognizing that our well-being is intimately linked to the health of our environment and local communities: breathing deeply, walking barefoot, practicing serenely facing the ocean... all this is only possible if all forms of life are respected!

Through the 1%,for Moʻ orea commitment, Mat&More chooses to inscribe yoga in a relationship of reciprocity with the island: receive and give back, enjoy and preserve.

A living, engaged and coherent yoga practice

This commitment is fully inscribed in the vision of yoga as a path of consciousness, because taking care of oneself cannot be dissociated from the world in which we live, and because an aligned practice is one that radiates beyond the mat.

Our yoga teaching does not stop at postural practice, but offers a committed and regular practice, a path of transformation that goes beyond simple physical exercise and is expressed in concrete choices, aligned with values of respect, responsibility, and connection: a real collective sādhana where every choice counts and every gesture can be meaningful.

Thank you for being part of it 🙏

By choosing to practice with Mat&More – Moʻ orea, you are doing much more than just taking part in a class: you are taking part in a collective, gentle but committed approach for the well-being of the island and those who live there. A small gesture, multiplied by each practice, that creates a real and collective impact 🙏🏻

🌿 Thank you for contributing, in your own way, to taking care of Mo'orea
