How we contribute to sustainability
At Rootra, sustainability isn’t an add-on, it’s a part of who we are.
The same care we put into supporting people’s wellbeing extends naturally to how we treat the world around us.
We want Rootra to feel like a breath out, a grounding pause, a moment of returning to yourself - and that feeling starts long before anyone steps onto a mat.
Every choice we make reflects our belief that wellbeing is woven through everything: the way we move, the spaces we gather in, and the communities we nurture.
Our approach
Mindful Materials
We make conscious decisions about the items we bring into our space - choosing reusable, long-lasting, or recycled materials wherever possible.
From props and journals to drapes and lighting, we prioritise pieces designed to be kept, cared for, and used again and again.
Low-Waste Sessions
Rootra’s sessions are designed to feel spacious, grounding, and clutter-free.
That simplicity is intentional: minimal printing, no single-use extras, and a focus on practices that create inner calm without creating outer waste.
Community-Centred Choices
At Rootra, sustainability isn’t just about materials- it’s about people.
We prioritise local partnerships, inclusive pricing where possible, and creating spaces where everyone feels welcome.
By choosing to work with independent businesses, makers, and practitioners in East London, we’re investing directly back into the community we serve. Because when the community thrives, well-being does too.
Partnering with Pretty Earth
We’re proud to partner with Pretty Earth Café in Hackney. A space that naturally aligns with Rootra’s approach to mindful living.
Pretty Earth creates food and drinks using sustainable ingredients, with an emphasis on freshness, seasonal produce, and thoughtful sourcing.
Their menu feels warm, nourishing, and rooted in the kind of grounded energy we want people to experience before or after a Rootra session.
For us, this partnership is about more than convenience; it’s about creating a community space where people can move, reflect, and then slow down together over something delicious.
A growing commitment
Sustainability isn’t a box we tick - it’s something we keep learning and evolving with. As Rootra grows, so will our sustainable practices, guided by what feels meaningful, responsible, and true to our values.
Together with our community and partners like Pretty Earth, we’re building something that not only supports mental wellbeing, but also treads gently on the world around us.
