Yoga mats

At OMNANA, we value high-quality materials that optimally support your yoga practice. Most of our yoga mats have a bottom made ofnatural rubberto guarantee you a safe and non-slip footing. In addition, we use the following materials for the surfaces of our mats:

• Natural rubber:Natural rubber is an environmentally friendly material that is naturally non-slip and provides good cushioning. It is the perfect choice for those who value sustainability and comfort.
• PVC:PVC is a durable and long-lasting material that is particularly easy to maintain. It is the ideal choice for anyone looking for a robust and durable yoga mat.
• Microfiber:Microfiber is a soft and absorbent material that feels particularly pleasant on the skin. It is the perfect choice for those who value comfort and hygiene. We use microfiber material for our yoga matsSOFTSENSE™ Velvetfor a luxurious feeling.
• Cork:Cork is a natural and sustainable material that offers excellent slip resistance, especially when wet. It is the ideal choice for those who value sustainability and grip, especially during sweaty yoga sessions. OurCORKY™ yoga matsare made of natural cork.
• Polyurethane (PU):PU is a synthetic material that is particularly durable, abrasion-resistant and non-slip. It offers a good balance between comfort and durability. Our yoga mats use PU materialSoGRIP™which provides ultimate grip.

Natural rubber is a renewable resource, biodegradable, and offers the best grip and highest density (heavier). TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) is a synthetic foam that is lighter, softer, and closed-cell. TPE is ideal for allergy sufferers (latex-free) and beginners, while natural rubber is the first choice for advanced and dynamic styles.

For hot yoga you need a yoga mat that offers the best grip even in heat and humidity. We recommend:

• CORKY™ yoga mat:The natural cork surface of the CORKY™ mat is particularly slip-resistant when wet. Enjoy maximum stability, even when you work up a sweat during your hot yoga practice.
• SoGRIP™ yoga mat:SoGRIP™ technology is specially designed for sweaty workouts. It wicks away moisture and ensures a secure footing so you can fully concentrate on your asanas.

Proper care is important so that you can enjoy your yoga mat for a long time. At OMNANA we pay attention to high-quality materials that make cleaning easy:

• Yoga mats made of natural rubber or PVC:You can simply wipe these mats with a damp cloth and mild soap.
• Microfiber yoga mats:For hygienic cleaning, we recommend washing the mat regularly by hand.
• Dry:After cleaning, make sure your yoga mat is completely dry before rolling it up again.

If you tend to have sweaty hands, closed-cell mats (like TPE or PVC) are often problematic because sweat forms a film on the surface. The best choice is mats made of open-cell natural rubber or with a PU (polyurethane) coating. These materials absorb moisture in seconds and offer a 'dry grip'. Cork mats are also excellent, as their grip is activated by moisture.

4mm is the standard for dynamic yoga (Vinyasa, Ashtanga). It offers enough cushioning for the knees but is firm enough to prevent wobbling in balance poses (e.g., Tree). 6mm mats offer more comfort and insulation, ideal for Yin yoga or sensitive joints. However, they can be a bit too soft for balance exercises.
