6X Cork yoga mat “Alignment lines” (cork + natural rubber)

Description

Why Alignment Lines?

Alignment lines are designed as reference points to help position body parts accurately, making it easier to achieve correct postures. They are incredibly beneficial for both beginners and more experienced practitioners. Beyond their visual appeal, they provide excellent support during practice.

Why Cork?

Cork is a completely natural, renewable, and sustainable material. Its production does not involve cutting down or damaging trees, meaning it has no negative impact on nature, and no fertilizers or pesticides are needed. Harvested directly from the tree, cork is non-toxic, waterproof, and has excellent insulation properties. It is resistant to abrasion, impacts, water, and fire, making it a popular choice not only in yoga mats but also in other fields such as design, architecture, and winemaking.

Practicing yoga on a cork mat is a unique experience. Its surface is naturally soft and smooth, allowing for easy transitions between poses. Rather than focusing on grip, cork provides a pleasant and natural touch. Additionally, cork contains suberin, a waxy substance that makes it resistant to fire and water. For enhanced grip, you can lightly mist the surface of the mat before use. The natural cork surface absorbs excess moisture from sweating, so you won’t have to worry about slipping on a wet mat, and you won’t need an extra towel for your yoga practice.

Cork is an excellent natural insulator, hypoallergenic, and has natural antibacterial properties.

While cork already has a remarkable grip that ensures slip-resistance, if you want to enhance it further, simply dampen the mat or your hands before practice for complete stability.

Maintenance:

In addition to its antimicrobial properties, which make it highly resistant to bacteria and dirt, the mat can be wiped down with a damp, soft cloth when needed. For deeper cleaning, a mild cleaning solution can be used, but it should not contain oils, and it’s generally advisable to avoid contact with greasy substances.
