About the artist:
Mark Longenecker, originally from New Jersey, grew up skateboarding and surfing along the Jersey shore. Born of artistic parents, his dreams were always supported. He chose to attend the Savannah College of Art and Design and graduated with a degree in Graphic Design. From there he moved down to Key West, FL and worked as a graphic designer, designing logos and other artwork for the local businesses, as well as Jimmy Buffett’s recording studio. Living in the Keys helped him develop a tropical island vibe in his artwork that he now calls “tropistyle”. He then joined Goldie’s Tattoo, the shop where his roommates worked and got a spot as an apprentice. After a shop trip to a tattoo convention in Miami he was hooked for life. There he saw first hand what the lifestyle of a truly sought after tattoo artist was all about. Longenecker decided to settle in Cocoa Beach in 2004 and open up his dream studio, Endless Summer Tattoo. Mark has made himself a fixture of the Cocoa Beach community, donating his time and art to many local charity events and fundraisers. In 2014, was was a competitor on Spike TV’s show Ink Master. He made it to the semi-finals out of 18 artists and was recognized for his will to fight and never give up.

Care
Cleaning the top (cork side) of the yoga 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 yoga mat where your hands and feet go before practice for added traction.

Where do I start!?
Mark Longenecker’s design is visually pleasing, but also not too busy as to distract from my practice. I actually find myself focusing on my mat to center myself and clear my mind from the rubbish of my day.
I love, love, LOVE the cork mat! It has so much more grip than any mat I have ever used. As someone with a neurological balance disorder, this assists my practice so very much! The grip gets better as I start to get warmer, as opposed to my old mat where I would start slipping out of down dog.
Needless to say, this was the best gift my boyfriend could have given to me on my birthday this year.
Yoloha, keep it up! ( I know you can, you base your life on cork)
