Cork mats: The more you sweat, the more support you have with our yoga cork mats

Our yoga mats from cork are for Ashtanga, Hot Yoga, Power Yoga and generally sweaty yoga or if you are simply of the type in yoga / Pilates / Gym also sometimes come to sweat Another unbeatable argument, especially in the current situation which speaks for cork: Our cork mats are antimicrobial, which means they inhibit the growth of microorganisms. In addition, most cork mats have rubber on the back. This means that, for one thing, the mat is then no longer as natural. For another, harder to recycle. In addition, more troublesome to clean. Moreover, it takes much longer to dry.

Yoga mats and the environmental factor

Often, the yoga mats only add to the pollution. After all, many mats are made of PVC. Especially PVC is considered one of the most toxic plastics ever. However, many yoga practitioners pay more attention to colorful motifs and padding of the mats at the beginning instead of the recyclable capabilities. Yet plastic is exceedingly difficult to recycle and often ends up whole or as microplastics in our oceans. This threatens marine life. A responsible yogi should be aware of this and try to make this world a LITTLE better. Our mats are biodegradable and will eventually dissolve.
