Are cork yoga mats really non-slip?
Yes, cork yoga mats are considered very slip-resistant. What's special about cork is that its grip improves even further with increasing moisture (e.g., through sweat). This makes it ideal for dynamic and sweaty yoga styles like Hot Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, or Ashtanga. If your hands or feet are still dry at the beginning of a session, it can be helpful to lightly spray the mat with a little water to immediately achieve optimal grip.
What are the main advantages of cork compared to other materials?
Cork offers several key advantages:
- Sustainability: Cork is a 100% natural and renewable raw material obtained from the bark of the cork oak tree without felling the tree. It is biodegradable.
- Hygiene: Cork is naturally antibacterial and odor-resistant (antimicrobial). This helps keep your mat fresher longer and is ideal for allergy sufferers.
- Skin feel: The material feels pleasantly warm and natural on the skin.
- Slip resistance in wet conditions: As mentioned above, the slip resistance increases when the mat becomes wet.
How do I properly clean and care for my cork yoga mat?
Cork mats are relatively easy to care for:
- Regular cleaning: Simply wipe the cork surface with a damp cloth after each intensive session.
- For stubborn dirt: Use a mild soap solution or a little diluted apple cider vinegar, then wipe the mat with clean water. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
- Drying: Always allow the mat to air dry completely before rolling it up.
- Storage: Store the mat rolled up and avoid leaving it in direct sunlight, as this can dry out the material and make it brittle.
