FAQ

1. Which mat is best for my practice style?

Just like one pair of jeans doesn't suit every occasion, one yoga mat might not suit every style of movement! 

As our founder, Nicole knows these mats better than anyone. For a dedicated yoga flow, her personal favourite is the Pro Grip—elite traction with integrated alignment lines. For high-intensity infrared fitness classes, she reaches for the All-in-One mat. Her standing advice is to “choose the tool that best supports your specific soul-work!”

We offer four distinct high-performance surfaces based on how and where you move:
The All-In-One Mat: The Hybrid Hero.
This hybrid mat combines a premium yoga towel and high performance mat into one seamless tool. Featuring a luxurious microfibre suede top that creates a "Wet Grip"—the more you sweat, the more your traction increases. Even if you don’t typically use a yoga towel, this type of mat should be considered especially if you are a "sweaty yogi" or practice primarily in a Hot or Infrared studio. If you haven't worked up a sweat yet, simply spray or sprinkle a little water on the suede surface to instantly activate the grip.
Low-Maintenance, High Performance: This mat is famously easy-going. Reversible, easy to clean, and fully machine-washable for an occasional deep refresh, it’s engineered to handle the heat and humidity with total ease.
• Ideal for: Hot and Infrared studio use, high-perspiration fitness sessions and sweaty yoga practices. Its soft-touch suede surface makes it a cozy companion for Pilates, Restorative, and Yin.
The Original Pro Grip Mat: The Gold Standard for Stability.

Meet the Queen of Grip. Featuring industry-leading, open-cell technology and a high-tack surface, this mat is engineered for those who prioritize an immediate, "locked-in" feel. The Original Pro Grip offers our strongest dry-to-wet traction, allowing for maximum stability in even the most technical poses. All designs include integrated alignment lines to guide your practice with precision.

Like any professional-grade tool, this mat is engineered for peak performance and thrives with mindful care. To protect its world-class traction and soul-supporting longevity, following our specific care instructions will ensure its high-traction surface remains your reliable partner. Keep in mind that consistent use in Hot or Infrared studios can accelerate the aging of the Pro Grip mat's open-cell PU surface when care guidelines aren't followed carefully.

• Ideal for: Vinyasa, Power, Hatha, Ashtanga Yoga, Pilates, home yoga/fitness practices.

The Pro Grip Luxe Mat: Performance meets Sophistication.
All the technical performance of our Pro Grip with a refined, matte surface designed for a pristine aesthetic. The Luxe finish features specialized micro-pores that help mask the surface marks and scuffs natural to high-traction mats. While the Original offers a slightly deeper "suction" for more extreme sweat, the Luxe offers a refined, high-performance grip for those who value a sleek aesthetic during their practice. Keep in mind that consistent use in Hot or Infrared studios can accelerate the aging of the Pro Grip mat's open-cell PU surface when care guidelines aren't followed carefully.

• Ideal for: Vinyasa, Power, Hatha, Ashtanga Yoga, Pilates, home yoga/fitness practices.

The Cork Mat: The Earth-Friendly Powerhouse.

Naturally antimicrobial and eco-conscious, cork provides a unique "mechanical grip" that actually improves as you get warmer. It is a favourite for hot yoga enthusiasts and those who prefer a firm, organic, and grounding surface.

• Ideal for: Hot Yoga, grounding Hatha, and eco-conscious practitioners who want a naturally bacteria-resistant surface.

2. I practice in Infrared Heat—which mat should I choose?
While our Pro Grip is a favourite for many, the specialized open-cell material can have a shortened lifespan if exposed to consistent, intense infrared heat without meticulous care.
For a low-maintenance, high-durability option dedicated to daily hot or infrared sessions, we highly recommend the All-In-One Mat. It is specifically engineered to thrive in high heat and heavy sweat.

For Pro Grip & Luxe Owners: If you practice in an Infrared studio, please ensure you wipe away all sweat immediately after class with a soft cloth and water or a designated PU-safe mat spray (skip the studio spray). Allow the mat to air-dry completely in a cool area after each session. Consistent exposure to intense infrared heat without proper cleaning and drying can accelerate the aging of the PU surface.

3. Do I need a yoga towel with the All-In-One Mat?
No! The All-In-One is designed to be your mat and towel in one. The absorbent suede surface has a "wet grip" that actually increases as you start working up a sweat making it the most reliable choice for high perspiration sessions.
4. Do I need a yoga towel with the Pro Grip Mat?
No! Our PU surfaces are engineered for superior wet-grip, often eliminating the need for a towel. If you prefer to use one, please choose a smooth version; towels with silicone dots can create unnecessary friction that may wear down the specialized surface finish in high-heat studios.
5. How do I clean and care for my mat?

Each of our mats is engineered with different high-performance materials, so their care rituals vary. Here is a quick guide to keeping your mat in peak condition:

  • All-In-One Mat: Our most durable option! We recommend a simple "spray and wipe" after most practices. Treat this mat like your favourite pair of jeans and only machine wash when in need of a deep clean (no agitator, cold, delicate cycle, hang to dry). Avoid bleach, drying in the dryer, or extended sun exposure.
  • Cork Mat: Naturally antimicrobial. Use a soft cloth dampened with plain, lukewarm water. and always roll with the cork side facing out to prevent cracking.
  • Pro Grip & Luxe Mats: These high-traction surfaces have "open-cell" pores. Clean with water or a PU-safe spray only immediately after use. Avoid studio sprays, vinegar, lemon juice, bleach, harsh chemicals, and household cleaners. Never wash in the shower, soak or submerge in water, or scrub with anything abrasive. Allow the mat to air dry completely after each use and before rolling up with PU surface side facing outward.

6. I’m a "Sweaty Yogi"—what do I choose?

The All-In-One: The Sweat Specialist

For those who move through sweaty, high-intensity sessions, this is the ultimate professional-grade hybrid mat. Featuring a luxurious, absorbent suede surface bonded to a natural tree rubber base, this mat is engineered to thrive as the heat rises. If you're starting your practice dry, simply mist the surface with water to instantly engage the "wet grip" traction. This mat is resilient in hot/Infrared heat and offers maximum longevity for a dedicated daily practice, and is even machine-washable for a deep refresh.

The Pro Grip: The Instant-Traction Specialist

If you prefer a dry, tacky grip from your very first breath, the Pro Grip is designed for you. Its open-cell "suction" technology provides an immediate, locked-in feel before you even start to sweat. To maintain this high-performance surface—especially in heated environments—ensure you allow the mat to air-dry completely between sessions and follow our specific care instructions to prevent premature surface degradation.

  • The Daily Practitioner’s Rotation: If movement is your daily passion, your gear should be as committed as you are. A professional mat performs best when it starts every session 100% dry. For sweaty or heated/Infrared practices, we recommend rotating between two or more mats. This "recovery period" allows the Pro Grip mat's internal core to fully desaturate, protecting the material’s structural integrity and ensuring the surface remains durable and responsive for the long term.


✺ The Science of Grip: Choosing Your Surface ✺  

MOISTURE-WICKING (The All-In-One & Cork Series)

These mats feature a solid, non-porous natural rubber base that acts as a hygienic shield, preventing moisture and bacteria from ever penetrating the core of your mat.

  • All-In-One Mat: Engineered with a specialized absorbent suede top layer heat-fused to the closed-cell base. This surface is designed to wick moisture to trigger its signature "wet grip." Because the rubber underneath is sealed, sweat never "soaks through" to the middle of the mat, keeping it lightweight and fresh.

  • Cork Mat: A natural alternative that utilizes Suberin—a waxy, antimicrobial substance. Like the All-In-One, its closed-cell structure keeps moisture on the surface where it can be easily wiped away.

  • The Benefit: Superior Hygiene & Durability. Because the core remains sealed, these mats stay fresh longer and are the most resilient choice for high-heat environments like Infrared studios.

MOISTURE-ABSORBING (The Pro Grip & Pro Grip Luxe)

Think of an open-cell mat like a high-density, technical sponge designed for precision.

  • How it works: The surface features microscopic "open cells" that pull moisture into the top layer to create an instant, dry-touch suction. This provides an immediate, "locked-in" feel from your very first pose.

  • The Performance Care: Because this material "breathes," it is essential to allow the mat to air-dry completely in a cool, shaded area after every practice.

  • The "Rotation" Rule: For dedicated daily practitioners—especially in heated environments—we recommend having a second mat in your rotation. This allows the open-cell structure of the Pro Grip mat to fully fully desaturate deep-seated moisture and "reset" its grip, significantly extending the lifespan of your investment.

  • The Trade-off: While the traction on the Pro Grip mat is industry-leading, the open nature of the surface means it can absorb skin oils and sweat. These mats require more attentive care—avoiding all oils, studio sprays and harsh chemicals—to keep the pores clear and the traction performing at its peak. Wipe immediately after use with a soft cloth and water or a designated PU-safe mat spray. Never soak or submerge the mat in water, or scrub with anything abrasive. Dry completely between uses.
