Why are our mats the best on the market?

 

The answer begins in nature — and ends at your feet.

Paulo The Cork Man mats were created for those seeking more than just an accessory. They were created for those seeking connection, authenticity, and balance .

While most yoga mats on the market are made of plastic, PVC, or synthetic rubber—materials that have nothing to do with the philosophy of yoga—we have chosen to follow a different path:

👉 The path of nature.
👉 The path to sustainability.
👉 The path to truth.

The surface: pure Portuguese cork

Cork is one of nature's most extraordinary materials.
It is renewable, antibacterial, non-slip, breathable, warm to the touch, and completely free of chemicals.

It's the perfect material for yoga — because, just like you, it also breathes.

And with us, the cork comes directly from Portuguese forests, processed ethically, sustainably, and with decades of in-depth knowledge from the founder, Paulo.

The base: a unique, ecological and completely natural formula.

Most synthetic carpets hide what makes them harmful in their backing: plastic, TPE, artificial rubber, petroleum derivatives.

In our mats, the opposite is true: the base is as pure as the surface.

We created a natural blend of:

🌱 Natural latex
🌾 Rice husk
🌳 Recycled cork powder

The result?
An eco-friendly, vegan, biodegradable base with superior grip and exceptional durability — no toxic odors, no chemicals, no plastic.

Yoga is nature. And so is cork.

The brand was born from this perfect union:
— Paulo's profound knowledge of cork.
Jenny's passion for yoga, her practice, her sensitivity, and her connection to the Earth.

Together, they created a movement where the practice of yoga finally finds the material that honours it — natural, regenerative, and in perfect harmony with the planet.
