bYo Yoga Mat Product Guide

Who is this mat suitable for? General features

With bYo, you can practice any type of yoga or workout. bYo is a sturdy and durable mat that is ideal for home workouts and professional studio use.

Measuring 190x68 cm, it also offers plenty of space; its length, in particular, makes working out very comfortable.

Natural and consistently sustainable
bYo is manufactured using a unique production process. The cork used by bYo comes from Portugal. The top surface consists of full-size pieces of cork that are assembled by hand. This creates a beautiful texture on the mat.

The underside is made of agglomerated cork granules, and a layer of cotton is inserted between them to make the mat flexible.

This is a unique innovation, since conventional cork yoga mats use a different material on the underside. Most often, these are plastics or rubber. For people with a latex allergy, that’s a deal-breaker. Furthermore, when “natural rubber” is listed as an ingredient, you usually can’t be sure whether the material is actually 100% natural rubber, since additives are often mixed in and the material is still allowed to be labeled as natural rubber.

bYo combines naturalness with true sustainability, because we avoid the use of harmful materials.

Grip

bYo provides stable support even during challenging exercises, ensuring safety during your workout. If you feel like you don’t have enough grip (which can happen if you have dry skin, for example), you can lightly moisten the mat before your workout (e.g., with a spray bottle or a damp cloth) to further improve traction. Use your bYo barefoot or with non-slip socks.

Damping

People often try to cut corners in the wrong places. Although bYo is a solid mat, its 4 mm thickness makes it comfortable. This provides enough cushioning for your workout. If you have joint or knee problems, you can also place a non-slip blanket under the bYo.

Design  

bYo is a real eye-catcher even outside of your workout and blends seamlessly into your living or workout space. It also fully meets the needs of yoga studios and enhances the value of your workout.

Storage and Transportation

Generally speaking, bYo is designed primarily as a mat for home and studio use, but you can, of course, take it with you anywhere. Please be sure to secure your bYo properly. We’re currently working on an accessory for portable transport. Roll up your bYo with the logo facing outward.

Important Care Instructions

Every bYo mat is handmade and requires regular care. Clean it once a week with water and a soft cloth, and immediately after an intense workout. Let the mat dry flat. Do not expose it to direct sunlight for extended periods.

Durable
A high-quality yoga mat is an investment that quickly pays for itself. That’s because people often make compromises when buying one, which later leads them to buy yet another product. With bYo, we also want to set an example—for making a conscious choice to purchase a durable, natural product that you’ll enjoy for a long time.
