bYo® Soft Pro | FSC® Natural Rubber Yoga Mat XL

Yes, the bYo Soft yoga mat features the exceptionally high natural traction of FSC-certified natural rubber to ensure a safe and stable yoga experience. The innovative combination with organic cotton further enhances traction, allowing you to maintain a strong grip even during intense yoga sessions when you’re sweating.

FSC certification is of crucial importance because it ensures the sustainable management of forests and thus makes a significant contribution to environmental protection. In the context of our yoga mat, this means that the natural rubber used in its manufacture comes from forests that are managed in accordance with the strict standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

In the yoga industry, a specific challenge is that the term “natural rubber” is not protected, making it difficult to track how the forest areas from which this rubber is sourced are being used. This lack of transparency can be frustrating for yoga enthusiasts who value sustainability. In this context, FSC certification offers a promising solution. It ensures that resources are used responsibly and sustainably, and gives customers the assurance that their yoga mat not only meets the highest quality standards but is also ethically and environmentally sound.

FSC certification ensures that environmental impacts are minimized and social standards are upheld during the harvesting of natural rubber. This means, for example, that no illegal deforestation takes place during rubber harvesting and that workers are fairly compensated and can work safely. By choosing FSC-certified natural rubber, we help protect forest biodiversity and support local communities.

One example of the positive effects of FSC certification is the conservation of habitats for endangered species. Responsible forest management ensures that ecologically sensitive areas remain protected and biodiversity is preserved. Thus, FSC certification not only guarantees that our yoga mat is environmentally friendly, but also ensures the responsible use of natural resources and their protection for future generations.

Even just a few centimeters more can make a big difference in comfort during your workout. The bYo Soft has generous XL dimensions of 190 x 66 cm, providing plenty of space for various yoga poses and workouts.

It was of fundamental importance to us to avoid the often strong odor found in many yoga mats. bYo Soft was developed with a special focus on odor sensitivity. We took great care to use materials that are not only eco-friendly but also tend to have a less intense odor. The result is a yoga mat characterized by a minimal, pleasant scent, ensuring that your yoga practice is not only comfortable but also odor-free.

Each bYo mat is custom-made and requires regular care. A mixture of water and vinegar is all you need to clean the mat and kill bacteria. Let the mat dry flat. Do not expose it to direct sunlight for extended periods.
