Local Women's Handicrafts Yoga Mat

Because this mat is made from natural cotton, it offers a different tactile experience than synthetic mats. While it is soft and breathable, it does not have the same 'sticky' grip as rubber or PVC, so you may find it better suited for restorative yoga, Pilates, or floor-based stretching rather than high-intensity hot yoga.

No, each mat is one-of-a-kind. Because they are crafted by artisans using upcycled fabrics, the color patterns, textures, and fabric weaves will vary from piece to piece, making your mat a truly unique item.

You can spot clean your mat with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. For a deeper clean, check the care label, but generally, these mats can be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle and should always be air-dried to preserve the integrity of the fabric.

This mat is designed for a grounded, tactile experience rather than heavy cushioning. If you require significant padding for sensitive knees or wrists, you might consider layering this mat over a thinner, high-density base mat for extra support.

The fair trade certification ensures that the artisans who handcraft these mats are paid fair wages and work in safe, ethical conditions. By choosing this product, you are directly supporting sustainable livelihoods for women in these artisan communities.
