what yogis are saying about cork

I'm over the age of 60, and have been a yoga practitioner for years. I appreciate the lack of PVCs and the use of natural cork for both health and esthetic reasons. I also like the way this mat feels under my feet. The thickness is just right - thin enough to give me stability in balancing poses yet the cork is soft to the touch. Thank you, and I love it.

their cork mat is top-of-the-line – durable, supportive and feels great under the body. To some, cork initially feels slippery, but it’s not like that when you practice. The smooth surface allows you to move easily on the mat while the grip improves with just a little bit of moisture

Not only do I love this company and all that they represent, but this mat is absolutely INCREDIBLE! The perfect amount of give and “squish” and grip. Hands down my favorite mat! Thank you Urbivore!!!

Picked up my Earth mat from Toronto Yoga Co and absolutely love it!!!! My little zen home studio space is perfectly set and the mat has put the icing on the cake! The texture, the comfort, the grip - can't say enough good things.

I love this mat so much - It's my favorite mat I've ever had. Before this, I had a manduka prolite, and a jade travel mat, and this mat is undoubtedly stickier than both of these notoriously sticky competitors. The padding is great. I love this thing and I've only had it two days.

I would 100% recommend your mats to my students. I love the soft and natural feel of this mat. It helps me establish a connection to the earth beneath me during my practice while feeling grounded and rooted and it's just so silky smooth! Love it!!

Beautiful mat! Great for all practices. High quality too.

Andrea

I bring this mat to hot yoga and it is the best! I never have to worry about losing grip during poses. It also doesnt hold in a sweat smell like most yoga mats and cleans very easily. Definitely worth the money.

Energetically this mat helps express my practice. Its tactile properties and its visual attractiveness will draw you deeper into your own practice
