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 3.5mm 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 yoga mat for your practice. Each yoga mat comes with a complimentary yoga mat carry strap and is backed by our stress-free warranty. Buy now to experience the joy of practicing yoga on a beautiful cork surface!
At Valka Yoga, our main focus is customer satisfaction. That is why we offer a 30 day customer guarantee. If your product, for some reason, has any issues, we will send you a replacement or sort out a refund. No questions asked. Please get in touch with us at namaste@valkayogashop.com if you have any questions or concerns regarding your product!

I use Valka cork yoga mats in my studio and when I teach elsewhere. I find them authentically beautiful as well as being hard wearing and the perfect thickness. I find they are grippy enough, but not too grippy, also not cold like some of the more synthetic mats can be. Love my mats and would highly recommend, thank you Valka Mats! 🙏🙏🙏
This is my second valka yoga mat. This one by far is my favorite. Feels like heaven on the hands and feet. Lovely softness. I have used in both carpeted community hall spaces and wooden yoga studio floors. The elephant also draws me in and is helpful for mindfulness. Highly recommend this mat.
This mat is absolutely amazing. There is no smell at the beginning and it feels amazing to be on a natural surface. The cushioning and grip are also very good too. This is a very high quality beautiful mat. Highly recommended!
Feels so natural when I practice on these mats vs synthetic ones!
As a yoga teacher, I love my cork mat. The grip is incredible—it actually gets grippier as you sweat, which is a game-changer for both my practice and teaching students. It stays fresh and odor-free class after class thanks to the antimicrobial cork. Plus, it’s eco-friendly (sustainable cork + a tree planted per mat). A bit heavier than standard mats, but the carry strap helps. Highly recommend for any teacher or serious practitioner.
Stunning yoga mat! So pleased with it 🙏
Loving the Valka Elephant Yoga Mat for my morning practice. I feel grounded and nourished when I step onto my mat 🙌
I absolutely love ny mat. It does not slip and it grips perfectly. I love the touch of the cork, it's soft and perfect for your yin yoga as well. And the Elephant Mandala is such a beautiful and powerful touch to the Mat.
I absolutely love this mat and met someone who shares the same opinion, so watch the video and hear him out!
This mat is amazing. I do hot yoga and it is completely non-slip and non-smelly (and there is a lot of sweat!!). It has really changed my practice and improved my alignment having this top quality mat. I highly recommend it. Thank you so much Valka Yoga. Namaste.
My cat and I loved it! Now I don't know how to get my cat off the yoga mat. Haha Fast delivery, great presentation and design, excellent quality, I didn't slip up, which is what interested me the most. 100% recommended.
This is a fantastic mat, it is lovely to use and beautiful to look at while I am practising yoga. The block and strap are both great, and of high quality. It is good to know that it is an all-natural sustainable material, which is so important.
Awesome mat! Grips well and cleans easily. Had it now for over a month and use it daily for hot and normal yoga classes, no issues so far. Love the design as well :)
Absolutely love the cork material, looks and feels great! It’s got solid grip too. It’s truly made of quality material.
That mat is beautiful and very light easy to travel with, I find it a little bit slippery but it’s fine I’m just use to rubber. Love the picture of Ganesh.
Absolutely love my new yoga mat! I did lots of research and found this one to be the best. Both in terms of product and conscious consumption. Firm enough to be supportive but also soft enough for my daughter to use as a blanket!
Beautiful design, good distraction whilst sitting in a tricky pose. Comfortable mat and no weird lines on your head after long child's poses haha. Lovely to do yoga on and pleasant on the eyes.
Best yoga mat I’ve ever used by far! It’s so comfy, provides really good grip and is also kitty approved 😻
Love my new yoga mat. Have received so many comments about it. Definitely worth the purchase 😁
Love the mat…. Super easy to unroll and it’s lovely and sticky to hold the pose.
I carried my Valka cork yoga mat from Auckland to Switzerland to Phuket. Necessary travel is almost impossible, incredibly stressful, and being locked out of NZ is hurtful. Carrying a bit of home on your back to re-connect and do my daily practice has been a blessing. With gratitude, Kathrine.
Absolutely love this mat, it works perfectly, great non slip and it even smells great!
I love my Valka Yoga mat. I've finally found my forever mat. Non slip, and more grippy the sweatier I get, lovely to look at, and feels great under my body. The carry straps are a nice bonus since they're useful as a stretching aid.
I cannot express enough at how grateful I am to you for creating this mat. It's a game changer to my yoga and pilates practice. The feeling of the mat, the look of it, absolutely amazing quality. Thankyou so much I'm in love!!! And to top it off, the incentive behind why this mat was created! Good for the environment and us which is the absolute reason why I bought this but it exceeded my expectations. Happy customer 😁
Incredible material. Feels really comfy
I think I spend more time on the mat than the couch
Store owner replied: Beautiful photo - love the Chakras on the Elephant! Thank you Brie ❤️
I hope you like the sight of my gold toenails on your lovely Valka elephant mat. I’m very much enjoying using my new yoga mat (after retiring my old trusty of 20 years). It’s smooth cork finish feels really nice as well as being absolutely non-slip. Just like you said. The elephant makes me feel rather joyful too. I’m now looking forward to purchasing a pair of matching cork blocks, yoga props I’ve always wanted but never got around too. Thanking you, Jane
Love my new mat and the eco friendly packaging. The mat stays on the floor and feels super comfortable under hands and knees. It is not very gripping but I think it just me as I slip on all mats.
my friend and I bought the products of you and we love them soo much. Everything is so nice. Quick service and delivery. You have a very good responsibility. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love this mat! We purchased another mat from Lululemon at the same time. The Valka mat is definitely the favourite. I love how supported I feel on the mat.
Love the feel, love the vibe, love the eco creds 💚
Namaste, I adore this mat. When I saw the elephant design I knew it was meant for me. Very high quality and amazing grip. Would recommend!
The cork mat is beautiful to practise on. Very grounding. Smooth and comfortable.
Such a beautiful mat! Feels great to use and I don’t get sore wrists with this mat. Would highly recommend!!
Fabulous mat the always feels new and clean. Great mat to enjoy your morning coffee and stretch or post gym stretching. I have never found a mat until now that keeps me in routine and doesn’t smell over time!
I’m in love with my mat! It is so soft, such high quality, and really looks the part. Highly recommended.
Absolutely LOVE this mat! Not only is it beautiful, it feels great and is sustainable for our planet. I have used expensive yoga mats from well known companies but none compare to this. It doesn’t slip on the carpet and nor do my hands and feet. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is thinking about it. You won’t regret it!
I absolutely love my new yoga mat and blocks. The cork mat feels and smells so much better than my old one and they look beautiful. Highly recommend 😊
ABSOLUTELY LOVE this yoga mat, it’s been the best investment!
Very happy with my cork yoga mat! ❤ The elephant design is beautiful. Gives me calmness looking at it. Received heaps of compliments with it. 😊 The grip on cork is amazing once you sweat. But the best part about having a valka yoga mat is that it's eco friendly, no toxic materials used so I can practice without guilt and breathe without worry. Just love it. Inspires me to practice more. 😊
