Collection: Velvet Yoga Mats

softness and tranquility in every position

Some mats aren't there to get you moving, but to help you land. A velvet yoga mat is the perfect example. Soft, stylish, and inviting—this mat helps you slow down before you even step onto the mat.

At Yogi Essentials, we believe yoga is more than just exercise. It's a moment of care, attention, and connection with yourself. Our velvet yoga mats support that moment—with a velvety-soft texture, a calming feel, and just the right amount of firmness to be carried.

What is a velvet yoga mat?

A velvet yoga mat has a microfiber top layer with a velvety feel. Soft against the skin, it offers a gentle touch at every touchpoint – whether you're lying down, sitting, or resting your face on the mat. The bottom layer provides stability, while the mat as a whole is designed for relaxation and comfort.

Velvet mats are not designed for grip-intensive styles, but for yoga in which the body can soften.

Which yoga is velvet suitable for?

This mat is the ideal choice for:

• Yin yoga
• Restorative yoga
• Meditation and breathing exercises
• Mindfulness, yoga nidra or calm flows

The soft top layer feels like a warm blanket and helps you land, feel, and most importantly, stay put. This makes it a popular choice among yogis who use their practice as a moment of recovery, reflection, or rest.

An invitation to slow down

A velvet yoga mat doesn't set the bar high. It invites you to soften. The moment you roll out the mat, the energy in your space shifts. Everything becomes quieter, softer, slower.

Especially in practices where you remain in one position for extended periods, the comfort of the surface makes a world of difference. No rough texture or cold surface, but a warm, soft base beneath every part of your body.

Light, rollable and beautiful to look at

Our velvet mats are not only soft, but also stylish and practical. They're lightweight, roll up, and easy to move. They also visually bring a sense of calm to your space – with natural colors, a matte finish, and a look that doesn't shout, but carries.

Many yogis also use this mat outside of their practice: as a surface for meditation, breathwork, or even as a soft base for a mindful morning ritual.
