Let's face it. Nobody likes a smelly yoga mat. That’s why we collaborated with yoga teachers to create the world’s best yoga mat. Featuring natural odour resistance combined with the epic gripping power of premium Portuguese cork, this is the last yoga mat you will ever buy.

The Cork Yoga Mat is designed for those who sweat. Did you know that cork gets even grippier when wet? Cork yoga mats have been shown to outperform rubber yoga mats in sweaty practices making them the perfect companion for Power & Hot Yoga.

The Elephant Yoga Mat is built to last from two sustainable materials – organic cork and natural rubber. The dense non-slip 3mm natural rubber base firmly grips the floor and will not slip. The foldable layer of cork is naturally antimicrobial and odor resistant. Now you can spend more time practicing and less time cleaning.

After countless hours of testing and sweating, we are confident that this is the best mat for your practice. Each yoga mat comes with a carry strap and is backed by our 15 day money back guarantee as well as our 1 year replacement warranty. Buy now to experience the joy of practicing yoga on a beautiful cork surface!

Love it! It’s not only great that it’s eco friendly and has a nice design, I actually can feel the difference when I do yoga. I can do every movement better, with better grip, it’s definitely more comfortable than other mats.

I absolutely love this yoga mat! The quality is superb and I look forward to doing my daily practice with it! Great investment for inspiration.

Thank you ! I am really liking my mat .My hands do not slip which is a big difference compared to previous mats. I prefer a slightly thicker mat , so I am putting my Elephant mat on top of another.

Love this mat. Wonderful service. Thanks.

Beautiful yoga mat for practise Absolutely love my beautiful new Valka yoga mat. Not only does it look gorgeous, but the feel of the mat and grip is lovely to practice on. Highly recommend. Thank you Valka.

Enjoyed the design and cork quality! I decided to buy this cork mat instead of the PVC mats following my yogi friend's advice. I like it! I could sweat a lot yesterday and today it doesn't smell bad at all. To my knowledge, cork does not need to get cleaned up as it is anti-microbial. As horrible as my yoga and flexibility (I just started yesterday), several people commented on my mat and the design as well.

Practice yoga as nature intended with this stunning cork yoga mat! This mat has exceeded my expectations! It is my first cork mat, and I’m a cork convert! The elephant artwork is absolutely stunning, and I anticipate it will be the talk of the yoga studio. The cork feels so nice to the touch, soft and supple, with a natural earthiness that I find very grounding. It’s grippy when it needs to be, and has no problem with a sweaty workout or yoga set, and it’s naturally antimicrobial! I’ve used some sticky/sweaty mats in the past, a downfall of the cheap synthetic options, and this is grippy yet I don’t have to hold one side of the mat down when I’m getting up out of a plank to keep the mat from sticking to my forearms. Durable, natural, environmentally conscious, comfortable and absolutely beautiful, all core to my yogic philosophy. With this mat, I’m able to practice yoga how nature intended. And if that’s not enough for you, they also plant a native tree for every mat sold!

Love I love the feel of my mat. It is smooth but safely grips too. I love gazing into the eyes of my elephant when in downward facing dog.

Top choice by a Yoga Therapist and Teacher I love this yoga mat! It has everything! The elephant design is exquisite! My feet, knees and wrist love it! It is so soft and comfy! No chemical smells! It rolls up nicely and easily for going from home to studio. As an E500 RYT and an IAYT Yoga Therapist I will be recommending this mat to all my students and private clients.

Elephant cork mat I love it! It’s beautiful to look at and it’s made from sustainable resources and it’s not slippery at all and I do heated yoga. Lots of comments about the mat from my fellow yogis. Highly recommend this beautiful product. Thank you Valka!

Danusia W.

Loving It! My new mat or gorgeous. Great surface to ground my yoga moves on. Too good to leave at home so I took her traveling with me!

Katie

Great Mat I really like the weight and feel of this mat - the cork seems to provide good grip, and it’s thick enough. It is very slightly narrower and shorter than I thought it might be - fine for me as I’m short anyway, but next time I might go for the premium mat. The elephant graphic has received lots of compliments already, and is s nice focus point. All in all happy with my purchase and would buy again.

JEN R.

You won’t be disappointed I recently purchased the Elephant Cork Yoga Mat and I’m very happy with it. The delivery was very prompt and there was a nice little surprise when I opened the box too. The Mat is easy to roll up, lightweight, yet durable for practice. The cork is a great surface and doesn’t slip. Overall, very happy.

Best mats on the market This is honestly the best mat on the market. I have used mine for my morning routines at home. It has really good grip on your hands and also to the floor. Also used it at hot (bikram) yoga classes where it surely turns eyes and doesn't lose its grip to your hands and feet. It feels really good on your skin and doesnt smell like artificial plastic when your nose is touching the mat. Light weight and perfect for travelling with also. To top it of, excellent delivery time and customer service from the owner. What more could you want from a mat really.

Elephant Cork Yoga Mat Was a present and love it. Easy to roll up and stays flat.

Vicky Rodewyk

Absolutely adore this mat! Absolutely adore this Mat, it is comfortable and very high quality. Good grip but also easy to glide on it when you want to :) High level of customer service and fast delivery. Highly recommend! The elephant design is gorgeous.

Tracy

Elephant mandala yoga mat I love my new yoga mat - the elephant is stunning. Great comfort and grip - no more slipping in postures! Fantastic service and quick delivery. I’d highly recommend Valka Yoga.

Kylie

Perfect mat My Valka mat has been the best mat I have purchased so far. I love it’s anti slip properties and the elephant image makes me smile every time I’m in downward dog.

Sheila Kennard

Best Yoga Mat I love my yoga mat, it feels so soft and safe, no slippage issues. I have recently become a yoga teacher with the intention of teaching gentle yoga that may suit older or less active people, I am 63 and know that for some that as years go on that less is more. I especially love the elephant, he feels like a guardian on the mat. Thank you for creating this beautiful yoga mat.

Jaimee

Best Mat Ever! I couldn’t be happier with my new mat. I love the natural cork smell and feel secure in my grip on the mat. The elephant print is beautiful and the mat it’s self is awesome! Can’t believe I’ve waited so long to get a good mat. The fact that the whole thing is eco friendly is an awesome point for me too. Thanks Valka.

Fabulous mat, the best I've ever used! I received this mat as a birthday present from a dear friend of mine, and as a Yogi of 6+ years, this is without a doubt the most gorgeous mat I've ever used. It doesn't slip around at all (many I've used do, particularly if it's a more active class) , the material is lovely to work with and the design is beautiful. Would absolutely recommend to any and all yogis!!

FANTASTIC MAT FIRSTLY, THE SERVICE WAS GREAT, I RECEIVED MY MAT WITHIN 2 DAYS. THE MAT DESIGN IS GORGEOUS AND I LOVE HOW SUPPORTIVE THE MAT FEELS AND ESPECIALLY THAT IT IS NON SLIPPERY.

Wendy Reynolds

Comfort with style Adore the elephant design and have to say the depth to this mat is delicious, and especially good for working 1:1 with clients. Just the right amount for comfort, yet stable in standing poses. It took about 2-weeks for the mat to ease in, so that I had a steady contact (no sense of slipping) through the hands in downdog. Worth the wait!

Tania W

Enjoying my Valka mat! I'm really enjoying my Valka mat, it looks good but most importantly feels good to be supporting an ethical product that is affordable. The cork feels smooth yet has grip. Thanks Valka!

Best. Mat. Ever. I started using one of these cork mats all the way back in November and I haven't looked back since! Really enjoy the beauty and feel of the mat and it's natural cork scent.

'Hati' (elephant) mat Im in love with my Valka Yoga mat !!! The "Hati" (elephant) design looks gorgeous in my livingroom. Not only I use it for yoga class & acroyoga jams, but also for home stretching, short rest while meditating. Even sitting on it on my balcony for my afternoon snack is purrfection. Its natural cork material feels awesome, is anti-slippery (great grip) and is a fantastic eco-friendly one that follows me during my travels between India & Canada. The mat is easily washable with water and a few drops of fresh lemon juice! I strongly recommend everyone to get a Valka Yoga mat. Merci & Namaskar!
