Aura Cork Yoga Mat + Plant Foam

Have been intrigued by the idea of a cork yoga mat. When I found the YOLOHA I took the plunge. Love 💗 everything about it. The sustainability, the feel/grip/support. 💟🙏🏼☮️

After a lengthy study of all the options out there in the world of mats, this checked most of my boxes. Sturdiness meets comfort. It’s also pretty to look at, so I leave it out on display. The fact that the cork surface is of sustainably harvested tree makes me feel connected to nature. I can’t speak to its longevity yet but hopefully when it comes time for a new mat, Yoloha will have a 100% renewable option (up from the current 70%)!

I enjoy heated yoga and tend to sweat heavily during practice. Had some pretty good rubber mats in the past but grip would always get a little questionable during really hot practices. Not this cork mat though. The grip is insane, I love it. Only bummer is that parts of the cork surface is starting to break apart. Even worse, I’ve only had it for three days and used it on three classes.

Love the smell, look and grip but wish the surface was more durable.

First of all - the shipping time was FAST! I'm very impressed how quickly it went from ordering to receiving my Aura mat. Secondly, I'm a yoga teacher who fell out of my practice towards the end of 2021. The pandemic got the best of me and I was feeling overwhelmed due to so many beloved studios closing down, and needing to shift my focus elsewhere to support myself. My practice suffered and it's been really daunting to return to my mat even after settling into a new job. With all that said, I took a leap in getting myself a new mat (as well as the "restore" cleaner) and I AM SO GLAD I DID. It might sound cheesy, but unrolling this mat felt like heaven to my soul. It is soooooo comfortable on my writs and knees. I still feel solid in Tadasana and other standing poses. I'm naturally a more sweaty person, which actually is a benefit here in terms of grip. And then of course, Savasana was bliss. I highly, highly recommend this mat if you're looking for a safe space to deepen your personal practice. Thank you Yoloha!!!

The mat is so cushy and sticky, like no other yoga mat I've used. My only complaint is that it's taken a long time for it flatten out, but that is solved easily by just putting weights on either end to keep it flat.

I have used my new Aura Cork Yoga Mat only a few times since I received it last week, but with the first use I loved the silky feel of the cork against my feet. But there's no "slipping"; as it warms to my body during practice, it has the grip I need to feel secure during transitions. Also, the thickness of this mat is great for my aching knees (I'm 68 years old) but there's no "sinking" into squishiness; I feel stable, especially during one-legged standing positions or side planks. The mat rolls up easily and flattens out quickly upon unrolling it. I am at an intermediate level of yoga, and this is my first purchase of a "premium" mat. So far, I'm very pleased.

My wife was looking for a new mat, heard all about Yoloha mats from the guys at Warrior Surf Foundation, decided to order. Arrived lightning fast, tried it out, ordered myself one. Super grippy, super comfy, no noxious “new mat” smell, small business, eco friendly. It checks all the boxes.
