Cork Yoga Mat Non Slip, Eco Friendly & Odor Free - Beautiful Designer Travel Yoga Mat with Carry Strap - Best Bikram & Hot Yoga Mat - 72" x 24" - 4mm Thick

The most amazing yoga mat I’ve ever owned. I used it for the first time in a Yin class and I was shocked at how soft and grippy it is. It will be the only brand of mat that I buy or recommend to my yoga students from here forward. I can’t believe you plant a tree for every mat sold, that is truly incredible. I would love to see bulk discounts for yoga teachers as I’d love to buy more for my class.

I decided to buy this cork mat instead of the PVC mats following my yogi friend's advice. I like it! I could sweat a lot yesterday and today it doesn't smell bad at all. To my knowledge, cork does not need to get cleaned up as it is anti-microbial. As horrible as my yoga and flexibility (I just started yesterday), several people commented on my mat and the design as well.From my yoga instructor, 3mm is the standard mat thickness for yoga as 3 mm is good for doing postures and advanced drills. I think Valka yoga also has a thicker version as well (5mm), so I might buy that one as well after trying this one for a while!

For years we have used Manduca Mats for our hot yoga practice, never thinking there could be something better...well there is.This cork Yoga mat is for anyone who wants to reach the next level for their practice.To understand fully how this mat works, you first have to understand Cork!Cork contains suberin, a waxy, grippy substance that is released when wet. So, when you start to sweat, the grip actually increases. The more you sweat in your downward dog, the gripper it gets."what about if I don't sweat"...... No Problem! Just mist your mat with some water. Even just a few drops will start to activate that natural cork grip. It's lighter than most mats, has way better grip for my practice. It's eco friendly, Antimicrobial and it feels nice on my feetsies!I would and do recommend this product to my fellow Yogis.Namaste.

Its been only one month with probably 6 times used indoors and the colors of chakras are fading. Withing next month its just going to be cork yoga mat.Also the design for Chakras is incorrect!Don't waste your money buying this product, look for something else

So I've read conflicting reports on whether this mat is slippery or not...bottom line is this: if your hands/feet are sweaty, this mat does not slip at all. In fact, the sestier the better. I also love that it's not too heavy, like another cork mat that I've tried in the past. The chakra artwork is subtle and lightly stenciled. No weird smell, though you can smell the cork and rubber a little, but it's not offensive in my opinion. Overall, my face yoga mat so far.

This mat has exceeded my expectations! It is my first cork mat, and I’m a cork convert! The elephant artwork is absolutely stunning, and I anticipate it will be the talk of the yoga studio.The cork feels so nice to the touch, soft and supple, with a natural earthiness that I find very grounding. It’s grippy when it needs to be, and has no problem with a sweaty workout or yoga set, and it’s naturally antimicrobial!I’ve used some sticky/sweaty mats in the past, a downfall of the cheap synthetic options, and this is grippy yet I don’t have to hold one side of the mat down when I’m getting up out of a plank to keep the mat from sticking to my forearms.Durable, natural, environmentally conscious, comfortable and absolutely beautiful, all core to my yogic philosophy. With this mat, I’m able to practice yoga how nature intended. And if that’s not enough for you, they also plant a native tree for every mat sold!

Love this yoga mat so much I got a second one for when friends visit . I practice Bikram and hot vinyasa, as well as non hot yoga at home.... i sweat buckets and this mat stays grippy underfoot . Best yoga mat I have ever purchased, and I have gone through probably 50 in my day ! :)

I've had this mat about 9mths and it's still in excellent condition after regular use from yoga, Pilates, stretching or other mat workouts. The cork has not begun to deteriorate (unlike my previous cheaper cork mat after 1mth), the rubber and elephant print are as new. I use it at home only, sometimes in the garden. When it stays laying on the floor for a few weeks it flattens completely, otherwise when it gets rolled up between uses, one end has a curve that wont flatten during a workout. I lay this yoga mat on top of a thick rug or else I find it too thin and my joints dig into the floor. The thicker yoga mat would be better (for me) but it wasn't available in my country, was a bit too expensive and had no design. Perhaps for a couple of days in the beginning my mat had a faint smell, but not anymore. It has a very subtle cork scent that I can detect when I have my nose against the mat, which I like. I love the super soft, velvety feel of this cork against my skin & find it soothing. I have trouble with grip on dry or cold hands/feet, but a spray bottle of water or wiping with a damp cloth solves this (water won't discolour the mat). Sweat also gives grip. I sweat a lot and love that I don't have to worry about sweating on this mat. It doesn't get smelly and cork is apparently naturally antibacterial, but I'm irregular with cleaning it, so it has dark patches where my hands/feet go during yoga which are difficult to remove. The marks don't effect performance. I love the slightly longer length of the mat, even though I'm average height for a girl. I find this mat doesn't shield much from the cold floor beneath you in winter, but in summer it's nice and cool & never sticky. The design is beautiful. The rubber backing grips well to smooth floors. This mat is heavier than plastic mats, but still easy to transport. The carry ties that are provided are handy. The cork dries incredibly quickly. I'm very impressed with the quality of this mat and appreciate the eco-conscious ideals of the company. You get what you pay for.
