YOGA DESIGN LAB | The Cork Yoga Mat | Eco Luxury

The material is really of quality!
Sturdy, thin, professional mat!
The design is more beautiful than I expected!
The matching rope to carry it with you always, filled me with joy hahaha! I can't wait to do yoga in every park and every place in this city!

I'm really very satisfied! It's great for my workouts and some yoga at home! -> Recommendation

I bought this mat last year, probably like 4-5 months ago and I was really waiting for write my review because I sweat a lot and I practice daily and sometimes even twice a day including hot yoga so I just wanted to make sure this mat could last and work for this heavy practice... let me tell you it didn’t disappoint! The grip is amazing! Not only while doing hot yoga but my hands sweat a lot and this mat hold my body perfectly! Also, the design is super cute and it’s very comfy since I didn’t get the thicker one. It’s very light compared to my old cork mat so yes! I’m very happy with it!

Excellent quality
Super pretty

I used to always buy the longer, wider, cushier mats, but after many years of practice, I was ready to upgrade and decided to treat myself to my idea of a "professional" mat.

*It is thin*
Like much thinner than any other mats I owed. I can definitely feel the ground more, which in this case is amazing as I gained stability and grounding. I can say that it's harder on the knees, but I was ready for it and didn't feel any pain practising. But if you have joint pain, this one might not be for you. It rolls super small and compact, but the material still makes it heavy (so maybe not for travelling on a plane for instance) and doesn't move or lift from the ground.

*It is short*
And by short I mean regular sized. I'm 5'10, and I always felt I needed a longer mat. But for the last year or so, as I was getting more centred on the mat, I felt I haven't been using the last 8 inches of the one I had. I gave this one a go and felt like it was actually perfectly sized with still some room for play at the top and bottom.

*It doesn't have alignment marks*
But the symmetrical design is quite enough to guide in all poses and to accurately find the middle, which I still enjoy.

*It doesn't slip*
Which it what I mostly wanted from a mat. I also wanted the feeling and grips of a nice mate and non plastic-y material, and I'm absolutely pleased with the fell. Also perk of the prints at the top and bottom makes it extra grippy without being sticky.

*It does have a smell*
But quite faint, and I recon that after a few uses it will go away. I mean, it's that whole "new car smell" thing, and I enjoyed the smell of my shiny new playground.

*It's beautiful*
That in itself makes me want to take it out and roll on it, and brings me joy in my practice.

Bottom line : I love it, and it was less pricey than other options.
