Mind of the Universe Nomad Cork Yoga Mat

I got this mat to take with me while I travel, and it is perfect for that use. The mat is incredibly light, and easily fits in airplane overhead bins. I typically use the unity mat for daily practice at home, so I really liked how smooth this mat feels. I do not think it is sturdy enough for my daily, hot, power yoga practice, but it really is perfect for travel.

Perfect for outdoor stretching. Good choice if looking for something portable and easy to wipe down though and I believe should not smell because cork is antimicrobial

Important to note --

Mat comes with a card that instructs you to always store your mat flat. Disregard that as a firm suggestion and just dont keep it in the car, near heat, or rolled tight -- cord does get rolled cork side out.
I am really pleased with this mat now that I have disregarded the flat storage instructions.
I have very moist hands and feet -- tried socks, gloves, and yoga towels and found each helped but I had to still work my muscle energy into stabilizing during my class.
No longer a problem with the cork mat. This is so perfectly amazing. My hands and feet are not stuck to the mat but ground now for the first time making my body relax in my poses.
I used to wonder why the instructors said that downward dog was a rest pose. When I was slipping, it was hard work and continuously draining my energy.
With a cork mat, no slip and slide and now downward dog is my peace.
if good contact is a problem for you during yoga, get one of these mats.

So many reasons to love these cork yoga mats. They are easier on the knees during our practice. The cork prevents sweaty slipping. They smell good. Super cool designs. We also get complements on them when we walk into a class. Definitely recommend!

This is my second Yoloha mat and my new favorite. I purchased this one, because I wanted more color for the mat I use to teach and I'm thrilled with it! It makes a statement with all the bold color and gorgeous design. I love the smaller profile of the Nomad and it's still a good amount of cushion.

Nice May but with couple of challenges for me. First you have to moisten it to get grip which really is excellent but that means bringing a water spray bottle or cloth to start the mat moist from the beginning of class.
Website did not explain that cork mats are stored flat — super inconvenient at home to have a mat lying around all the time— hard to keep foot traffic and animals off it and I find this not simple

Best Yoga mat ever
