Why Cork? The Benefits of Cork for Yoga

Cork yoga mats are an eco-friendly, sustainable, and non-slip alternative to traditional yoga mats. Cork, made from the bark of cork oak trees, make the mats durable, comfortable, and offer a natural grip that helps you stay stable and balanced during your yoga practice.

Ecoga mats are eco-friendly by nature. Cork is a natural and sustainable material that is harvested from cork oak trees without damaging the trees. The bark of the cork oak tree grows back over time, so the trees can be harvested again and again without being harmed. This makes cork a renewable and sustainable resource.

In addition to being eco-friendly, our cork yoga mats are also durable and long-lasting. Unlike traditional yoga mats, which can become worn and slippery over time, cork yoga mats are resistant to wear and tear and maintain their non-slip grip even with regular use. This means you can use your cork yoga mat for years to come, and it will still provide the same level of stability and support as when you first bought it.

Another benefit of cork yoga mats is their non-slip surface. Cork has a natural, textured grip that helps you stay stable and balanced during your yoga practice. This is especially helpful for poses that require a lot of balance, such as Tree Pose or Warrior III. With a cork yoga mat, you can focus on your breath and alignment without worrying about slipping or losing balance.

Ecoga mats are also comfortable and supportive. The natural texture of cork provides a cushioning effect that is gentle on your joints and muscles, making it a comfortable and supportive surface for your yoga practice. Plus, cork is naturally antimicrobial, so it resists bacteria and odour, making it a hygienic and healthy choice for your yoga practice.
