GOTS certified organic cotton
We decided to go back to the roots, to the times where there were no synthetic materials & dyes.
We proudly use GOTS certified cotton for production of our yoga rugs & towels.
After a few grades of development, we arrived at unique blend of organic cotton infused with pure herbs as the ultimate formula for healthy body & mind & wellbeing.

''Such a misconception that plastic or rubber are the only materials to practice on. You will never feel more comfortable with your practice''
★★★★★
Organic cotton fibers are longer and stronger than the conventional cotton which is a big advantage for us because it gives our rugs and towels resistance and durability during strong asana practice.

It will give you incredible space for your asana practice.
Even in shavasana your hands will relax on warm cotton mat rather than cold floor.

The main purpose of yoga is connection. Connection with the earth electrons which are grounding us.
Mats made from plastic are keeping us isolated from what we are actually looking for.
Cotton mat is doing a really good job. As a natural material it is helping us to connect better but still protect us, when we need some clean surface to practice on.
#earth friendly mat
Organic cotton fibers are longer, stronger & softer than the conventional cotton. We don't treat them with any chemicals or color stabilizers.
It is a big advantage for us because it gives our rugs and towels resistance and durability during strong asana practice.
#clean materials
Outstanding!

When a plastic mat slips, the cotton mat grips.
The cotton mat can absorb a huge amount of sweat, which will help you with your grip while practicing.
When the plastic mat gets wet, it is slippery. Opposite is true with the rugs.
The more you sweat, the more you stick to the mat.
#extra grip
It can be sometimes very dangerous if your sweat will stay on the mat.
Your hand can slip in the transitions or drop backs and your might badly injure yourself.
Since the rug is 3 mm thick, it has enough capacity to absorb all the sweat and keep you safe during whole practice.
#practice safe
Say bye to stinky mat
Yes, you can wash your entire rug.
Once your cotton mat gets sweaty, you can wash it properly.
While you can only wipe off your mat and not really wash it, opposite is true with your rug.
Make your practice a non stinky experience!
#practice clean
''The life changing thing for me was, that I can just wash it! It is a huge thing for me, as I sweat a lot. It was impossible to wipe off all the sweat from the mat...all my mats started to stink after some time, I could not get rid of that smell.
Once I wash my rug, I will put in a few drops of essential oil...since then, my practice has become aromatherapy also.''
Their craft is the only thing they can do! We don't want to let it's extinction. By supporting them we can help them to stay with their families so they do not need to travel far away to the big cities to look for a job.
