OUR MISSION: Our mission is to spread joy on this planet by promoting wellbeing and creative movement for people of all ages.

We spread joy by producing and distributing BOUNCE balls™ (and accompanying swag) as well as online tools which provide:

  • New, more aligned and ergonomic sitting options for meditation, bath time, and kid related activities, and everyday sitting —- your WFH/office BFF

  • A more joyful yoga and fitness practice (alternative to a yoga block, new exercise device)

  • A beautiful object to bring sunshine to any space

Our balls are good for all ages and are primarily, at their inception, tools to sit on for meditation and to complement our yoga practice similarly to a yoga block. The ball can be used to fine tune your poses, challenge you in certain balancing poses such as tree pose by standing on it, alignment work, to open the hips, and to simply add height, or bring the ground closer to you, in various poses.

That being said, you don’t have to use this for yoga or meditation. You can also BOUNCE balls™ if you: 

  • are a toddler parent! (hey guys!)

  • Like to do at home workouts and want to explore new props

  • You sit all day and want an ergonomic upgrade from chair 

  • Enjoy the thought of a multiuse (and bouncy) yellow sphere in your home — therapeutically, yellow is associated with: purification, mental clarity, re-energizer, concentration, God, warmth, and of course… joy

OUR STORY

In 2018, our founder, Maëlis Mittig, while sitting on her bouncy chair at work, LLC’d Bounce Yoga™. Behind the name was a desire to teach a yoga class which promoted bounceability, a resiliency: mentally, spiritually, and physically. Behind the idea was a desire to reinvent the way we sit for long periods of time, especially in meditation, as well as a need for an alternative to a yoga block. While working full-time, Maëlis took her time to develop this unique invention, which we now call BOUNCE.

Over time, the balls inherited their unique shape through research, testing, and consulting. The first BOUNCE Ball was designed with the help of family, mentors, friends, and engineering students at Maryland University. The first BOUNCE Ball was brought to life by Marcus Mosby, Maelis’s husband (for Valentine’s day <3), and Mark Supik, a local Baltimore woodsman, on March 20th, 2020. 

Although the balls were originally designed as an alternative meditation cushion, one that would naturally, gradually, spread the sit bones and be spherical — they became much more along the way. 

BOUNCE balls™ are an alignment tool, an object of joy, a go-to for kids, an alternative to a yoga block, and an exercise device for athletes.

The color yellow graced the logo and all promotional materials from the get-go, for its many qualities and ties to our center of willpower, the solar plexus chakra. Yellow and bounce go hand in hand.

We are thrilled to share this great object, which will take your day-to-day to the next level, and bring your home an extra dose of sunshine.
