About Scoria World Inc.

Hey you, reading this! My name is Yara, and I started Scoria in 2017. Scoria started when I wanted to reconnect with lost creativity after graduating from Fashion School in Toronto. Today, I am a 25 year old designer, artist and a registered yoga teacher. Before starting Scoria, I became more aware of the indirect society pressure to succeed and fit in a world of physical values and rules. I realized that "growing up" can strip us from who we really are and can make us self-conscious to be our real selves, play, express or believe in art again as we did when we were children. With Scoria, I wanted to inspire grown ups with children-inspired art on cork yoga mats to reconnect with their inner-child through creativity and movement. Launching Scoria on Kickstarter and successfully raising over $15,000 to fund the project, I created artistic cork mats from children-inspired stories during the time I was an art teacher. The mats served a purpose of encouraging movement, bodily and mind curiosity, while also staying kind to the planet. We ship locally from within the U.S. to U.S. customers.
