Yoloha Cork Aura Yoga Mat - 72" x 26" - 6mm thick – Non Slip, Sustainable, Soft, Durable, Lightweight, Premium, Handmade, Moisture Resistant

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.

Hands down best yoga mat I’ve ever owned! I’ve been looking for an eco friendly-non toxic mat to bring into my home and use along side my children. Needless to say, my kids enjoy spending time on it as much as I do! No issues with slipping, and I appreciate the thickness as it adds comfort!

This mat is a decent cork yoga mat. In truth, on the top surface is a very thin cork laminar layer and the bottom is foam, not rubber. It's a little thicker than I prefer but it is also wider than I'm used to and I liked that. The main problem with this mat is that despite what the ad says, it does a very poor job at odor resistance. I sprayed this mat after each and every class, and let it air out and despite my efforts it stank. I even sprayed it with Febreze to no avail. This mat actually hold odor like a champ and ultimately I just had to give it up. This wasn't my first cork mat, but my other had a rubber base and not a foam. I suspect the foam is absorbing the moisture from my sweat, keeps it locked in the foam structure. which is what is making it smell so bad. I eventually had to through this mat away. For those using it in a non-heated class or in classes where they do not sweat, this would probably be a fine mat. But for hot yoga classes or if you sweat a lot in regular yoga classes, I'd advise against it.

I am unsure why but there’s no grip and I found myself sliding while trying to hold poses

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 bought this mat after a year or so of beginner yoga. I don't practice more than once or twice a week, but even in a non-heated yoga studio my sweaty hands and feet have always been a frustration. When it was time to upgrade my mat, I looked a lots of options. I tried a few. This is the only one that I don't slip on. I don't slip at all. Not even a little bit. It smells natural (not stinky like a few of the rubber ones out there). It doesn't grab my every dog hair and dry skin fleck like a few of the stickier mats. And the cushion level is perfect for me. I love it and can't wait to see how it holds up over time.

I wanted to like this yoga mat and was very excited when the package came in sooner than projectedHowever I was immediately disappointed upon opening because the box was soaked for some reason. I don’t blame the company. But what was frustrating was that when you open the box, it’s just the mat - no protective plastic or fabric covering or anything. So if the box got wet, the inside got wet too at some point. Also there was no indication that the mat was so exposed, so when I boxcut the packaging tape, I accidentally sliced into the mat itself. Heartbreaking. Thankfully not too deep but definitely a long slice. Not a good first impression at all. I wish they had put something on the outside to warn customers of this. It could have been avoided.Now on to the mat itself:I’ve owned a cork mat (different company) before so I thought I knew what to expect. But the cork had fine micro cork particles that kept getting worse and more abundant throughout my first practice. I don’t really know how to fix that. And it was really irritating to feel such granules on my hands and the bottoms of my feet. At times it felt like someone had SPRINKLED CINNAMON all over my mat. I was very distracted and nervous while doing headstand. The thought of it all engrained into my scalp was... 🥴I really wanted to love this. The grip was good. The mat was comfortably thick. But the above mentioned was just so distracting and disappointing for my practice.

Comfortable, but seems most grippy with moist hands: when my hands are dry, like at the beginning of my practice, my hands slide out... makes those first few down dogs sketchy. Need a different mat, I guess :(
