FAQs

Our cork yoga mat is super easy to clean. We recommend using our essential oil sprays because they have fantastic anti-bacterial properties and will thoroughly clean your mat leaving it smelling amazingly fresh. You can also use soapy water or any natural cleaner. To clean, just spray your mat and use a cloth to wipe down. If you're after a deeper clean, you can fill a bowl with warm water and wash your mat with a gentle cloth or soft brush. Don't put your mat in the washing machine. You can drape it over a chair or clothes horse to air dry.

Yes, our yoga mat is dual sided. You can use the cork side for a smoother natural feel or the rubber side for an ultra grip.

Yoga blocks are an essential prop for yogis at all levels. We recommend you having two yoga blocks to give you the support you need throughout your practice and allow you to perform a wider range of poses to better your flexibility as well as assist with jump throughs and inversions. You can purchase the yoga block duo and save!

Cork yoga mats have a beautiful natural feel with enough grip for your practice and enough smoothness to allow for poses like forward and side splits. Cork yoga mats can feel a little slippery if you have very dry hands. If that's the case, we recommend you spritz your mat with our essential oil sprays to activate the suberin in the cork - which is a naturally occurring waxy substance. When the suberin is activated, the grip will enhance and become very grippy. The great thing about a cork yoga mat is that as you generate heat throughout your practice and become sweaty, your grip will enhance rather than slip. You can also use the rubber side of the mat for an ultra grippy option or in those cold winter months when you want to leave your socks on!

Cork is an amazing resource and completely sustainable which is why we've used it throughout our Cork Yoga Range. You actually don't need to cut down any trees to harvest cork as the cork is in the bark of the tree. The bark regenerates and can be harvested over and over again. Cork can be recycled and ground down to be made into other products. We use 100% compressed cork for our massage balls and yoga blocks and our mats use cork leather that is heat laminated to a rubber base without the use of toxic glues or chemicals.

Cork has some amazing properties and one of them is that it's naturally antimicrobial which means that it suppresses the growth of micro-organisms such as mould or bacteria. Because most allergies are caused by particles found in mould, dust and dirt, cork products are also naturally non-allergenic, because the microbes can’t enter the cells and it doesn’t absorb dust and dirt.

Yep, there’s a reason for why cork is used in our wine bottles!

Massage balls are a very handy tool to have in your recovery bag. They give you the ability to self massage and release areas of tension in muscle and fascia. Our cork massage balls come in two sizes which are both included in your set. There is a 6cm massage ball to target areas like hip flexor muscles, glutes, neck, and plantar fascia (the base of your foot). We also have an 8cm massage ball to target larger muscle groups and areas like quads, IT band, hamstrings, calves, shoulder blades and back muscles.

Cork is really easy to clean. We recommend using our essential oil sprays with a clean cloth or any natural based cleaner. For a deeper clean, use a bowl of warm soapy water and a soft brush. Air dry over a chair or a clothes horse.
