Oh! We LOVE this question because cork simply outperforms any other option on the market by a lot: Cork is a fully natural and non-toxic material, which means it is good for your health and our planet. Cork offers extra traction and grip, especially when sweaty, which makes it a unique material for your yoga mat.

In addition, cork is naturally antimicrobial – meaning, it repels moisture, bacteria and fungi. This makes a cork mat so hygienic and perfect for your practice. Last but not least, cork is sustainably harvested by hand and no trees are cut down down in the process. As a matter of fact, a harvested cork tree absorbs up to 5x more CO2 than a non-harvested one!
