Collection: Cork Yoga Mats

Natural, hygienic and non-slip

Sometimes the material you practice on is just as important as the pose itself. The smell, the feel, the firmness: everything contributes to deepening your practice. A cork yoga mat brings calm, stability, and natural grip—without being overpowering.

At Yogi Essentials, we believe in simplicity that works. Cork is a pure material that invites you to slow down. To feel. To land. And it's surprisingly functional: hygienic, breathable, and even more grippy as your body warms up.

Our collection consists of two cork mats with their own unique character: the regular cork mat – light and soft – and the premium cork mat – sturdy, durable and designed for maximum grip.

Why choose cork?

Cork comes from the bark of the cork oak tree, a renewable resource harvested without harm. It's antibacterial, odorless, and warm to the touch. Cork naturally absorbs moisture and doesn't retain bacteria or odors. This makes it ideal for regular practice—even if you practice without a towel.

What makes cork unique is that it actually provides more grip when you perspire. Unlike some synthetic mats that become slippery when wet, cork becomes more grippy. No slipping, no hassle—just stay put, exactly as you are.

In addition, cork has a calm, earthy appearance that helps many yogis relax as soon as they roll out their mat.

The normal cork mat: light, soft and comfortable

Our standard cork yoga mat is designed for those seeking comfort and accessibility. The TPE backing makes the mat lightweight and easy to transport. Its thickness provides extra cushioning, which is especially beneficial for knees, ankles, and sensitive backs.

The cork top layer is soft and gentle, without feeling rough. It provides grip when needed, yet remains calming in its presence. This makes the mat ideal for more relaxed yoga styles. It's also a great choice for beginners. The mat feels instantly familiar, inviting you to sit or lie down, and provides just the right amount of support without being overly restrictive.

The premium cork mat: coarser, firmer and made to last

Do you practice more frequently, more intensively, or are you simply looking for the best cork? Then the premium cork yoga mat is your match. This mat has a natural rubber backing, making it heavier and more stable than the lighter TPE version. You don't have to adjust it during your practice—it stays where you are.

The top layer is made of coarse cork, which immediately provides more structure and grip. This grip only becomes stronger when combined with heat or damp hands. The mat absorbs sweat without becoming slippery, helping you move confidently through dynamic poses. This premium mat is designed for durability. Not only in terms of material, but also in terms of experience. It becomes more beautiful over time, the more you use it. And you'll feel it.

Which mat is right for you?

• Looking for a lightweight, comfortable mat for quiet sessions or gentle support? Then the regular cork mat with a TPE backing is perfect.
• Do you practice frequently, want more grip and stability, or are you working on strength and balance? Then choose the premium cork mat with a rubber backing and a coarser cork top layer.

Both mats are antibacterial, odor-free, and designed to support—not direct—your practice.
