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 190 x 68 cm, it also offers plenty of space, as 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 cork pieces that are assembled by hand. This creates a beautiful texture on the mat.

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

This is a unique innovation, as conventional cork yoga mats use a different material on the underside. Most often, these are plastics or rubber. For people with a latex allergy, this is a no-go. Furthermore, when “natural rubber” is listed, 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, as 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 your skin is dry, for example), you can lightly dampen 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 plenty of cushioning for your workout. If you have joint or knee issues, you can also place a non-slip mat underneath 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 Transport

The bYo is primarily designed as a mat for home and studio use, but you can, of course, take it with you anywhere. Please make sure to secure your bYo properly. We are currently working on an accessory for easy transport. When rolling up your bYo, make sure the logo is facing outwards.

Important Care Instructions

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

Durable
A high-quality yoga mat is an investment that pays for itself quickly. 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 years to come.
