Cork Yoga Mat - Cork FEEL 4mm

Mat for experienced practitioners of dynamic yoga styles

CORK FEEL is an environmentally friendly cork yoga mat ideal for those seeking pleasant and natural tactile sensations. You can practice on the cork side, which is smooth, soft and elastic. The 100% natural rubber underside, thanks to its properties, will give you an excellent grip on the floor and a good degree of shock absorption during practice.
This mat is right for experienced practitioners looking for grip and easy gliding during transitions between asanas.

Due to its characteristics, we recommend this yoga mat if you practise intense and very dynamic styles such as Vinyasa yoga, Ashtanga yoga or Power yoga, for practising in hot environments such as Hot yoga and Bikram yoga, or in general, if you have a good awareness of your body during your practice and are looking for a mat whose surface gives pleasantly natural sensations.

The cork structure, while not absorbing sweat, increases the degree of grip in humid conditions. The combination of pressure and perspiration gives the grip while at the same time allowing easy gliding in the transitions between Asanas.

Cork is non-toxic and has recognised anti-bacterial properties, which help reduce the build-up of odour-causing microorganisms!

Cork Feel is suitable for people who sweat a lot, so it might be a bit slippery if you have very dry hands and feet.

Cork Feel is a mat made of completely natural materials. To preserve it in the best possible way, we recommend you use some small precautions:

• before practising, wash your hands and feet well to remove residues of oils and creams that may stain the mat

• do not expose the mat to direct sunlight or heat sources, as they degrade the natural rubber and cork

• when rolling up the mat, always leave the cork side out to prevent cracks from forming over time

To give the mat a longer life, we recommend paying attention to two aspects in particular: heat sources and cleaning.

As far as heat sources are concerned, we would like to remind you that cork and rubber are natural materials and should not be exposed to medium/high temperatures for long periods (we do not recommend leaving the mat in the car and do not put it near radiators, stoves, etc.).

Cleaning the mat means taking care of it. Our suggestion is to clean it at least once a week to prevent skin impurities from settling on the surface.

The cork side does not absorb water, while the rubber side does. We, therefore, recommend using a wet, wrung-out microfibre cloth (do not use a dry cloth, as it may be too abrasive) and spraying it with a mild neutral detergent, or our ReClean detergent for Yoga mats. For deeper cleaning you can wash it in cold water with a mild detergent or with our ReClean cleaning agents, gently rubbing the dirtiest parts with a non-abrasive sponge.

Dry the mat flat, absolutely not in a dryer, away from heat sources and not in direct sunlight.
After practice and after cleaning, wait until it is completely dry before rolling it up. If possible, store your mat in a breathable fabric bag to protect it from dust and light.
