Customer Reviews
Love it!
Perfect for my daily practice .
i love this mat so much. without out any extra spray it has been pretty slip resistant and good for a hot or regular yoga class. i love it
Thank you, Aimee! We are stoked to hear your new mat is working great for your hot yoga, cheers!
Hello!
I purchased the original cork yoga mat a few weeks ago and have been using it primarily for hot flow vinyasa classes. I was unsure about the mat at first, but now I am impressed and surprised at the quality and performance! The cork is great for its anti microbial properties, which originally drew me to the cork mat, and the grip I am experiencing during hot yoga is amazing! I sweat a lot during my practice and notice the mat has more grip with more sweat.
The maintenance of the cork mat is the only drawback when compared to a rubber yoga mat, however the other qualities of the cork mat far outweigh the maintenance requirements.
I am interested how this mat will last in the months to come, as I should note the cork mat has not seen a full month of use. If the mat holds up through the winter months and everything holds up, then I would absolutely recommend this mat to other fellow Yogis!
Happy cork mat customer,
Cody M.
Thanks for writing such a thoughtful review, Cody! We are excited to have you in our Yoloha family :)
The mat is firm yet supportive and isn't slippery. So far I'm digging it. We will see how durable it is in the long run, but I am satisfied as of now.
Thanks, Richard!
It couldn’t have arrived at a better time. It has been very stressful lately and just being on this mat has improved my sense of well-being. I love the smell and texture of the cork and being energetically sensitive I immediately noticed how calming and loving the mat felt straight out of the box. It has been my go-to spot to tune in and breathe. Thank you Yoloha Fam for putting so much heart into your mission.
Thanks, Jena! We are thrilled to be able to help relieve your stress in some small way :)
I have only used this mat a handful of times. I do like it as far cushioning and grip are concerned….however there are obvious signs of wear and tear especially where my hand placement is. It is one thing for the material to inherently have some kind of break in during initial use but when the material is coming off the surface I am not confident in the longevity.
Hi Cole! Thanks for taking the time to write this review. Please feel free to reach out to us via email on our website so that we can better assist you!
I am a yoga instructor and regularly flow in heated studios. This mat has absolutely leveled up my practice. No more slipping and sliding, and it’s a little bit longer and wider than the average mat which is super nice. It also smells good. On the pricier side, but you get what you pay for - a good quality, reliable, and beautifully made mat. Can’t recommend enough!
Thanks so much for taking the time to write this thoughtful review, Lauren!
The best mat that I have owned. I love that my feet and hands do not slip at all. Doesn’t not need water sprayed on it.
Wow, we are so happy to hear this is the best mat you've ever owned and really appreciate you taking the time to write us a review, cheers!
