Eco-friendly cork & latex yoga mat

100% Natural Non-Slip Yoga Mat - 100% Vegan

The combination of two natural ecological materials for a healthy and comfortable practice! No trees are cut down or damaged to obtain a natural yoga mat. While cork is harvested from the bark of cork oaks (Quercus super), natural rubber is extracted from the sap of the Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree). The inherent properties of the natural materials that go into making your Achamana rug are durability, natural resilience and low maintenance.

Rubber has an enormous ability to capture carbon dioxide while being a leading socio-environmental agent. Its weak point is the negative impact on bio-diversity than its large-scale mono-culture, but all things considered, rubber remains, by far, more ecological and undoubtedly healthier for the environment and our health than PVC, plastic, EVA foam or vinyl often used for mats and bags usually offered in yoga shops.

Guaranteed free of any additives, solvents or carcinogenic and toxic materials. Phthalate-free, PVC-free and azo-dye-free production - Designs engraved with ecological water-based inks.

Premium materials for optimal comfort and safety

Specially designed mats for those who are passionate about the daily practice of yoga and the yogic lifestyle. They are not only 100% natural, but offer immediate grip on the ground and an exponential non-slip surface.

The more you sweat, the wetter the contact and the more the grip intensifies. Never worry about slipping or losing your balance, sweating is no longer a problem!

They are suitable for traditional Hatha yoga and all styles of yoga. They are particularly appreciated by practitioners of dynamic yogas such as Vinyasa, Ashtanga or Bikram, where perspiration is heavy.

Non-toxic and eco-friendly yoga mat

Unlike most mats, the Achamana line of yoga mats does not contain glue, PVC, TPE or any harmful chemicals To do this, we only use two materials from responsible sources, these two materials are assembled by heat-sealing.

Gum rubber material sticks to the floor, cork provides a fluid grip yet eye-catching and naturally kills bacteria and germs while repelling mold. A very hygienic and easy to clean mat!

Premium dense gum for high end latex yoga mat

Unlike many mats marketed under the natural rubber label, our rubber does not come from recycled tires. For obvious choices of mechanical properties, it is in premium quality in its first use in order to guarantee density, softness and flexibility for optimal cushioning in the service of a anti-shock floor mat.

It's a durable yoga mat that sticks like a suction cup to dry or damp ground. A long-distance travel companion that does not bulge in the corners or become deformed. It remains flat and stable whatever the intensity and the context of the practice.

rubber is also an excellent carbon absorber and supports more than ten million people in rural Asia.

It is biodegradable and recyclable, no plastic used in production.

Cork, a high-performance and ecological material

Lightweight, waterproof, compressible, elastic, good thermal and acoustic insulation. It is practically rot-proof and very resistant to friction and traction.

Its use dates back to the earliest ages of human history. We find its first references, for fishing equipment in Egypt and Persia, 3000 years before Jesus Christ.

It germinates every nine years, the lifespan of a tree can be up to two hundred years. Trees that replenish their bark absorb up to five times more CO2.

No trees felled for an eco-friendly material. It is still today very often harvested by a rural population in the Mediterranean basin.

An antimicrobial, non-slip, self-cleaning organic yoga mat!

The proven qualities of cork:

1. Antibacterial: One of its components is suberin which eliminates bacteria preventing them from growing.
2. Antistatic: It naturally repels dust, hair and other surface particles. The maintenance required is minimal.
3. hypoallergenic: You won't have any allergic reactions.
4. Antifungal; It repels mildew and makes it safe to practice yoga, pilates or fitness on wet floors or on the beach.
5. Thermal insulation: Low thermal conductivity. Your mat will always be at the right temperature, cool in summer and warm in winter, and its supple and soft texture is very pleasant under your feet
6. Non-slip: Dry, its smooth and soft side is deceptive. The more it is in contact with moisture, the more it is non-slip, in other words, the more you sweat, the more the grip intensifies. Inverted yoga postures are safe.

The recognized qualities of rubber:

1. Anti-slip
2. Cushioning: Ability to cushion falls
3. Resilience: High resistance to temperature and bad weather
4. Ease of maintenance

Rubber flooring is one of the so-called "soft" floor coverings. It is very popular in environments where safety is paramount, such as hospitals, retirement homes or in homes of elderly people. The installation of 4 mm rubber flooring can half-absorb the impact of a fall.
