Use: For practices with very heavy perspiration (where sweat “pools” on your mat) we recommend our Native or Original Yoga Mats.
Features
- Superior non-slip grip wet or dry.
- Lightweight & portable. Weight is just 2.8 lbs.
- Ready to go right out of the box, no break in period.
- Premium cushioning is the ideal balance of comfort and support.
- Anti-microbial cork surface naturally kills bacteria and germs.
- Be kind to your body, no PVC’s, latex or harsh chemicals used.
Care
Cleaning the top (cork side) of the mat is recommended once a week with normal practice. If used daily or for hot yoga clean the cork after every practice. This helps prevent body’s oils from building up and keeps the mat looking and smelling fresh. Spray the mat with our Detox Cleaning Spray or a natural yoga mat cleaner and allow to air dry with the mat laying out flat.
Grip Tip
The cork surface increases grip when wet. Use our Grip Spray or sprinkle water on your mat where your hand and feet go before practice for added traction.

I really like this mat, I practice hot yoga often and there has been no smells at all. I clean it after every practice just since there’s so much sweat. I think I want to try the Native mat because I don’t think my Aura would have the best grip in non-heated classes. As it says in the description, it’s not the best for sweat pools which is another reason I’m thinking I may want to switch to the Native. All in all, this is a solid mat! Would totally recommend to anyone.

Alicia, If you are practicing up to twice a day I would recommend our original air yoga mat. Has plenty of cushion and the thicker cork surface is a bit more rugged to handle a daily practice. – Chris

When looking for a new mat I read through hundreds of reviews of other well known yoga mats but didn’t feel like any of them offered everything I was looking for, until I for Yoloha! My Aura mat is perfect for every style of yoga I practice and so lightweight. The all natural cork stays clean and fresh, and there are NO smells at all. The cushioning makes yin yoga very comfortable and adds support for hand balancing, the cork is smooth to glide across as well. One more thing, the mat has no slipping whatsoever, it holds you in positions and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

I LOVE this mat BUT one caveat….it is SLICK!!! Product is very high quality and I love the feel of it. I’m super happy I decided to buy this cork mat versus all the usual ones you find elsewhere. However, it is extremely slippery and I cannot hold down dog pose without my hands sliding on me. I’ve tried to spray water on it prior to starting class which helps for the first two minutes until the water evaporates/dries. It would be impossible to spray the mat before each pose that requires grip. I didn’t want to buy gloves but I may have to since I don’t feel like I can truly hold my poses correctly since I’m always worried about slipping.

Sorry to hear you’re having some slipping issues. I realize that every body, and practice is different so the Aura may work great for some people but not for others. Thats why we created 4 different types of mats. Happy to exchange or refund it’s not the right fit. The Native with the cork/rubber blend and Original Air has the most texture for the best grip when dry out of our four mats. We’ll be in touch shortly. – Chris

This is the perfect mat if you have joints that need a little extra support. Coming from someone with lupus, my joints always hurt and this mat makes yoga way more enjoyable! Also better grip (especially with hot yoga) I’m so glad I found this mat and this amazing company!

It’s so light weight compared to my other 5mm mat. It has nice cushion and great grip when wet. I bring a small spray bottle to hot yoga class and spray a little water on it at the beginning of class when I’m not sweaty yet. My only disappointment is that I thought the mat was supposed to come with a carrying strap. Mine didn’t come with one.

I got my first cork yoga mat the Christmas of 2016. I learned about Yoloha yoga mats after reading about them in Yoga Journal magazine. I can honesty say I will always be apart of the Yoloha family. I love my cork yoga mats. Never had an issue with either one of my mats. I regularly teach beginners or Vinyasa yoga, so I can only talk about my experience with the mat.

I owned the original mat for 4 years and it was great for my hot yoga but as I get older I wanted more cushion. Even thought it says that it isn’t the best for hot yoga I have to say that It stays sticky even if you have a bit of pooling going on and the extra cushion is fantastic on the knees. I can’t really see any downsides of this mat.

I purchased an Aura mat and strap as a birthday present for my daughter. She wanted a Yoloha cork mat, but it was a luxury as a college student. The smile on her face when she unwrapped the present was worth every penny of the price. The mat and the strap are both high-quality products. I so was impressed with the quality of Yoloha’s products that I am looking to purchase a mat for myself, as I have recently taken up yoga at my daughter’s suggestion to increase flexibility on the days that I do not train with kettlebells.

My Yoloha cork yoga mat arrived late afternoon on August 9. I was excited to try it but had to wait until the next morning as I had already done my yoga time earlier in the morning. Well, I wasn’t disappointed. I love this Yoloha cork yoga mat. I got the cork yoga mat for two reasons. First, I am celebrating my return to Ashtanga yoga practice after being inactive for six years due to three different serious illnesses which left me unable to walk or feed myself at one time. I got the cork mat to replace a very old pvc yoga mat. I also have an old cotton yoga mat which I put on top of the pvc mat, but I have to take it off for some of the poses so I don’t slip off the mat. I did not put my old cotton yoga mat over the Yoloha cork yoga mat when I practised this morning and I had no issues with slipping off the mat, so that old cotton mat will now probably be retired. I also like that the mat is thicker; my joints like that. This return to Ashtanga yoga will be more challenging but I am determined to do it as I believe my yoga practice over the years helped me tremendously during my illnesses. I’m not sure I’m over the fence yet and I still have to take medications, which is less now (thanks goodness – I’d like to get to a zero medication eventually) but I sure feel much healthier and I am a lot more mobile now. It is going to be a slow process as my body has lost the flexibility it had after being inactive for six years. I am now in my 70’s so that is also a contributing factor. The second reason is it is an early birthday present for me as I am turning 72 in November. I am looking forward to the use of this Yoloha cork yoga mat in my yoga practice. I am also anxiously awaiting the arrival of my cork yoga bracelet which I ordered after I ordered the mat. Here’s happy me with my Yoloha Aura cork yoga mat. #YOLOHAFAMILY

I was referred this mat by my hot yoga teacher and she let me use one in class. Before I purchased though I decided to try a lululemon option as well. There is no comparison! I love how secure I feel on my Aura mat and the cushioning is so nice. I also love not having to worry about bringing a yoga towel to class and how no amount of sweat causes me to slip. Amazing product!

This is a great alternative to some of the other mats on the market. I’m always looking for alternatives that will do less damage to the planet. Plus I’m pretty sure it’s grippier than my old mat and I just love the way the cork looks. It really fits my style and delivers on it’s purpose – well done!

I really like this mat. I’ve been doing more hot yoga and the cork material is great and 100 times better then my previous mat. I’m no longer slipping and the grip is fantastic. I also loved that the mat doesn’t have a rubber smell to it that other mats have and it has a lot to do with the eco-friendly material it’s made out of.

I was looking for a mat that would be thick enough to protect my knees from my hardwood floors and this mat is perfect. I love the natural cork! I am very sensitive to the smell of other mats and I definitely do not have that problem with this one. The cork feels soft when you initial touch it, which worried me at first, but I had no issues with slipping. I actually found the mat to grip especially well once your palms start heat up a few minutes into practice.

The grip on this mat is lovely. You can practice with it dry and it’s a bump up from the standard grippiness…but the real strength shows up if you or the mat is wet. Even beginners will stick with that Down Dog if they only wet the mat (or themselves) just a teeny bit! The only downside to this mat is how much my cat loves it. He seriously just rolls around and freaks out whenever I begin my practice! No judgement though, I guess some mornings I just roll around on the mat too 🙂

I am new to yoga practice and combed the internet to find a mat that made sense to me. I was looking for safe materials and loved this concept. I am very happy with this mat and feel good and using it. The only reason I will not give it 5 stars is that I have not owned it for very long. Otherwise, I love it.

I’ve only had the mat for a week, but I love everything about it. The padding makes such a difference in my practice. Also, loving the extra couple inches of length since I am tall. And, no slipping! Very happy with my purchase.

I purchased this mat after a lot of research and thought. My hands get sweaty during my practice and I was looking for a mat that would let me flow instead of having to re situate every few seconds. Made the best decision! I love this mat even more every time I use it. It has the perfect amount of padding. Use straight out of the box. no odor. lays flat. Lighter than I was expecting, which is great. It does roll up slightly larger than my previous mat so my mat strap doesn’t exactly fit it, but you get a strap with it. only regret is that I didn’t get the mermaid print. 🙂 great mat. great company.

I purchased this product for my home yoga practice, and the level of cushioning is perfect for my hardwood floors. I have another Yoloha mat that has served me well for years that I use for my in-studio practice. The product quality is superb and I find myself better able to grip with these mats than the more traditional yoga mats. It’s also a beautiful surface to practice on. I will always purchase my yoga mats from Yoloha.

I bought this mat while seeking a mat made of safer materials. So far I am very happy! There is a faint ‘new tire’ smell from the rubber backing, which seems to be fading the more I use it. Still so much better than the chemical off-gassing that most mats have. I can actually feel comfortable putting my face down on it and taking deep breaths. I also love the size. I have the 72 x 26 which gives me room to really stretch out.

Truly love the idea of a bamboo eco-friendly yoga mat. I’ve only used it once so far but very glad for the option of not having to use regular plastic-type mats. I am a huge believer in non-plastic products for myself and family. I will continue to use this mat and hope to purchase your other products as well.

I was not sure about going thicker than my 5mm Gaia mat but I am so in LOVE with my Aura! It’s beautiful, firm but somehow supportive, no slip, no stretch, I honestly can’t say enough good things about it! I can’t tell you how happy I am that this was recommended by the Yoloha team.
I encourage you to reach out to Yoloha if you have any questions or are looking for a specific something, they worked with me and it is more than worth the investment!

I use the mat for vinyasa flows and yin/restorative yoga. It’s sturdy but also lightweight, and well-cushioned from the rubber. I can’t compare it to the other mat styles at Yoloha, but I’m at least feeling good about my purchase.

I absolutely love this mat! I researched mats for a month, and the benefits of the cork sold me. I would consider myself intermediate, mostly doing mostly Vinyasa twice a day. Grip is great, but I really wanted it for the thickness for my knees and it has been fantastic. I think I’ve actually improved my postures just from having this mat. Thank you for a great product Yoloha! P.s. I’m saving up for some blocks!
