Key features & specs

How it compares

When compared to synthetic TPE or PVC mats, the Scoria Cork Yoga Mat provides a significantly more tactile, earthy feel. Unlike foam alternatives that can become slippery when wet, the cellular structure of cork creates more friction as moisture increases, making it a superior choice for intense Vinyasa or Bikram sessions. It is heavier than travel mats, offering better floor stay during dynamic movements.

How to use it

1. Unroll the mat with the cork side facing up on a flat surface.
2. For immediate grip if your hands are dry, lightly spritz the mat with water.
3. Perform your practice as usual; notice the grip increase as your body temperature rises.
4. After use, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild natural soap if needed.
5. Allow the mat to air dry completely before rolling it up with the cork side facing outward.
