Product guide bYo yoga mat

Who is the mat suitable for? The general properties

With bYo you can practise any type of yoga and any type of workout. bYo is a stable and firm mat that is ideal for home workouts and professional studio use.

Measuring 190 x 68 cm, it also offers enough space, as the length makes training very comfortable.

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

The underside consists of composite cork granules (so-called agglomerated corc) and a cotton layer is placed in between to make the mat flexible.

This is a unique innovation, as conventional cork yoga mats use a different material on the underside. This is usually plastic or rubber. This is a no-go for people with a latex allergy. Moreover, when natural rubber is specified, you can usually not be sure whether the material is actually 100% natural rubber, as additives are often added and the material may still be labeled as natural rubber.

bYo combines naturalness and genuine sustainability, because we do not use any harmful materials.

Grip

bYo provides a stable grip even during demanding exercises, ensuring safety during your workout. If you feel you don't have enough grip (this can be the case with dry skin, for example), you can also lightly moisten the mat before training (e.g. with a spray bottle, otherwise with a light cloth) to increase the grip even further. Use your bYo barefoot or with non-slip socks.

Attenuation

People often cut corners here. Although bYo is a firm mat, it is still comfortable with a thickness of 4 mm. This provides sufficient cushioning for your training. If you have problems with your joints or knees, you can also place a non-slip blanket under bYo.

Design  

bYo is also a real eye-catcher outside of your training and blends harmoniously into your living or training environment. It also fully meets the requirements of yoga studios and increases the added value of your training.

Storage and transportation

Basically, bYo is designed more as a mat for home and studio use, but you can of course take it with you wherever you go. Please make sure you secure bYo appropriately. We are working on an accessory for mobile transportation in the future. Your bYo is rolled up with the logo facing outwards.

Important care instructions

Every bYo mat is handmade and requires regular care. Clean once a week with water and a light cloth, immediately after an intensive workout. Leave the mat flat to dry. Do not expose to direct sunlight for long periods.

Durable
A high-quality yoga mat is an investment that quickly pays for itself. This is because compromises are often made at the time of purchase, which later lead to the purchase of another product. With bYo, we also want to set an example - for the conscious purchase of a durable, natural product that you can enjoy for a long time.
