Yoga mats made of virgin wool

New wool mats for yoga and meditation

PVC, TPE or natural rubber - these are the mat materials that most yoga lovers are familiar with. But there is a beautiful and cozy alternative: yoga mats made of new wool. The wool from the shearing of living domestic sheep has been used for hundreds of years due to its very special properties. These include breathability, the ability to clean itself and temperature regulation. It is also particularly sweat-resistant because it can absorb a lot of water without becoming damp. The ideal yoga companion!

For the love of sheep and without chemicals

In yoga, the rule of “Ahimsa” - no violence - is very important. That is why we also make sure that the wool we use comes from live shearing of sheep from controlled organic farming. No living creature should have to suffer for humans: live and let live, both in everyday life and on the yoga mat, that is the motto.

New wool mat: The perfect mat for quiet yoga

Although yoga mats made of virgin wool are particularly sweat-resistant, they are more suitable for quieter yoga styles that are practiced lying down, sitting or statically. This is mainly because the mats are not completely non-slip, which makes yoga forms such as Vinyasa or Bikram Yoga difficult. However, virgin wool mats are very suitable for Hatha or Kundalini Yoga. The cuddly soft yoga mat also offers the perfect surface for meditation. The well-padded mat supports the joints when sitting for long periods and is also pleasantly soft.

The ideal pile height

Yoga mats made of virgin wool are available in different pile heights. They are usually between 1.5 and 2 cm thick. With a height of 2 cm, our virgin wool mats are among the so-called deep-pile mats. Their particular advantage lies in the cushioning function of the virgin wool mats. In addition, the pressure of the body weight is distributed optimally, which is why deep-pile virgin wool yoga mats are particularly comfortable for people with joint problems.

A non-slip bottom

To ensure that the mat does not slip during asana, most of the undersides are coated with natural latex or natural rubber. Our mat undersides are made of a pure latex coating, which makes them particularly non-slip.

Yoga mats made of virgin wool - For those who like it comfortable

Yoga mats made of virgin wool may not be the first choice for flowing yoga styles - such as Vinyasa. But if the mat is primarily to be used for static Hatha or Kundalini yoga or for meditation, there is hardly a more comfortable alternative.
