      Material of the yoga mat

      Below you will find more information abouttheyoga mats made of natural rubber, PVC, wool and cork.

      Yoga mat natural rubber

      Natural rubber offers a lot of grip and provides extra cushioning while performing the various exercises. This makes it a good choice if you are looking for ayoga matwith extra grip. The mats are slightly heavier, so the corners do not curl up. A yoga mat made of natural rubber is a particularly environmentally friendly choice: you will not find any PVC or other harmful substances in the mat. However, this natural material does require special care. The rubber cannot withstand the sun well and dries out when exposed to high temperatures. At Yogisha you will find special products for cleaning your yoga mat that keep the mat in optimal condition.

      Yoga mat PVC

      Yoga mats in studios are often made of polyvinyl chloride, or PVC. A PVC yoga mat provides grip as long as it remains dry and is therefore also called a sticky yoga mat. However, these mats can become slippery with perspiration and are therefore a less good choice for intensive forms of yoga and hot yoga. You can easily take a PVC mat with you everywhere: the flexible material is easy to roll up and does not tear. The material is so strong that this type of mat can easily last a lifetime. PVC is easy to maintain, just wipe it occasionally with some soap and water or disinfectant. These mats are also very suitable for outdoor yoga.

      Yoga mat TPE

      TPE is a synthetic rubber. The material is completely biodegradable, which makes a TPE yoga mat an ecological choice. These mats are softer than a PVC yoga mat. The material is also very light, making it easy to take the mat with you on your bike.

      Yoga mat wool

      This material is very suitable for practicing slow Yin yoga or Kundalini yoga or meditation. The body is extra supported by the soft wool, making it easier to maintain the different postures. The wool yoga mats at Yogisha are made of 100% pure new wool. No chemical materials are used when washing the wool. The underside of the mat consists of 80% natural latex and prevents sliding.

      Yoga mat cork

      This natural material not only looks beautiful, but also provides extra grip against perspiration. The material becomes stiffer as it becomes moist and therefore ensures that your feet do not slip during a warrior pose and during the savanasa the soft cork provides extra support for the (lower) back and shoulders. A cork yoga mat is a sustainable choice: to extract the cork, only part of the cork tree is used, which grows back naturally after harvesting.

      Organic cotton yoga mat

      Many thousands of years ago, the first yogis in India practiced yoga on cotton mats. This natural material feels nice and absorbs sweat, giving you more grip. Cotton mats are completely biodegradable and therefore an environmentally friendly choice. They are therefore especially nice to use as an extra layer on another yoga mat. The cotton yoga mats are easy to maintain: by washing them occasionally in the washing machine, you can enjoy a fresh mat again.

      Yoga towel made from recycled polyester

      With your own yoga towel made of recycled polyester you can easily create a hygienic layer between you and the yoga mat in the yoga studio. In addition, the yoga towel offers extra grip because the special fabric absorbs sweat. The silicone dots on the underside of the mat prevent the towel from slipping. Our sustainable towels consist of 42% recycled old plastic (PET), which makes this type of yoga mat a sustainable choice. You can easily clean the towel by washing it in the washing machine.

      Yoga mat brands

      The yoga mats in our range are, in addition to our own brand, from sustainable quality brands such asMandukaandJade.
      Yogishastrives to offer products where the impact of the production process is as friendly as possible for people and the environment.
