Yoloha Aura Cork Yoga Mat, Non Slip, Sustainable, Soft, Durable, Lightweight, Premium, Handmade, Moisture Resistant

First of I wanted to get this mat because the cork was different from anything else I have seen and interested me. Second because I do primarily hot yoga and sweat alooooot and wanted to see if the claims held up. My other mat is lululemon that was suppose to have a no slip surface and it did... for about 5 months before it wore off and I was sliding again, I have been using that for 2 years. Plus I was tired of using towels that always got in the way. So far this mat is awesome! it is super comfortable to practice on because the added cushion of the cork, My wrists and joints thank you on that(I am a 265lb male). But most importantly when I sweat i don't slip AT ALL during hot classes. I let a few of my teachers try it for a class and they also loved it and talked about getting some in stalk for their studios. I know it has a life time guarantee(which my lulu used too but now doesn't for some reason?), but I am still interested to see how well the cork/rubber holds up as both cork and rubber do eventually tend to break apart when dry. AS for non heated classes, like others have said, you do need to wet the mat a little for added grip but that is not a big deal. Oh it also dries super fast too, I stretch it out after a class and it air drys in a few hoursOne month update: Apparently there isn't a lifetime guarantee but they will work with you. Also for this particular mat you will still slip if you over saturate it (water, sweat). plus after about two weeks or so a very small piece(1x1 cm) of the cork top came off exposing the underlining .

I love the material! I have been searching for a good yoga mat for a while. I got tired of the rubber one and wanted a environment friendly mat. It was expensive but I'm glad I took a risk and bought it! I don't regret it at all, I'm 5'3 and its perfect for me, the design is beautiful and it's not so thin. It came with a lovely thank you letter that you can plant. I'm so happy with my purchase! Thank you Yoloha!

This mat is thinner than my previous one but it is still comfortable to use. It is longer and wider than my previous one and I love the natural smell of the cork. When you roll it up, it doesn't stay tightly rolled but it stays loosely rolled and will stand on its end easily. Then it lays flat when you unroll it.The surface is less slippery than previous mats, but my hands still threaten to slip every now and then. That just be my own inexperience. We'll see as time goes forward.All in all, very happy with this mat.

This mat is extra long and being 5'9" that is important for planks and DFD's - However, I bought it to support my 50-something knees in hot yoga. It is cushiony which is great but it also peels and is slippery and I think that the cork might cause skin allergies. For the price and crafts-personship I am disappointed.

There are so many wonderful things about this mat it's hard to know where to start. I have had several different yoga mats over the years and have always been a bit disappointed until now. I have tried several types of different foam, natural rubber, none, the list goes on. I just happened to see an add for Yoloha at the beginning of a 30 days of yoga and was immediately curious. I ordered one before I got started. @ days later it arrived, great packaging, a seed starter personalized, hand written note was the first thing I saw right on top. Awesome, I love when companies take the time to be passionate about their products. I have been using it for a few weeks now and am in love! The cork smells terrific, the foam is a perfect density, and hands and feet do not slip! It's easy to clean and seems to be very durable. I highly recommend Yoloha cork yoga mats for beginners to experts.

updated: recently found a tip to minimized the slippery by wiping down the whole mat with a towel soaked with luke warm water. Pretty much soak the mat then dry it. Now, I could do all the yoga poses without sliding. I do love the mat but was disappointed until now. Now, I'm loving it through and through. 3/26/2019I loved the way the mat look and feel. However, I have to keep a spray bottle of water near by to wet the mat all the time so my hands and feet wouldn't slide. I even contacted the Yoloha company and bought the yoga mat cleaner. Nothing works at this time and I'm still sliding. So sad that I paid so much for the mat and I couldn't do "downward dog pose" without sliding.

I bought this mat because I never could get a grip on my other one. I bought the 80 inch version so I don't end up off it...ever. Well worth the price!

So far, so good! Received yesterday, tried in a "gentle" yoga class this morning. While warming up my hands slipped a little, (as they do with every mat I've used) but after just a few minutes hands warmed up and I had no issues. Great!! Will see how ashtanga class goes this weekend. It's a gorgeous mat. No chemical smell. Rolled out flat first use.
