Cork yoga products at YOGISTAR – sustainable, non-slip, high-quality
Yoga products made from natural cork combine environmental responsibility with outstanding material properties. At YOGISTAR, you’ll find a carefully curated selection of yoga mats, yoga blocks, and fascia tools made from real cork—the natural material harvested from the bark of the cork oak (Quercus suber) without the need to cut down a tree.
Why cork is the ideal material for your yoga practice
Cork comes primarily from Portugal and other Mediterranean countries, where the bark of the cork oak is harvested in a sustainable cycle of 9 to 10 years. The material offers a whole range of natural properties:
- Sustainable & renewable: No trees are cut down; the raw material regenerates itself
- Hypoallergenic: Free of allergens, ideal for sensitive skin
- Antibacterial & easy to care for: Simply wipe with a damp cloth
- Warm, pleasant feel: A grounding sense of practice on the mat
- Non-slip when wet: The more sweat, the better the grip
- Durable & wear-resistant: A companion for many years
Cork yoga mats – yogimat® cork
The yogimat® cork series from YOGISTAR combines a warm cork top with a stable natural rubber bottom. Especially practical: As humidity increases, the mat becomes more slip-resistant—ideal for dynamic flows and sweaty sessions.
- yogimat® cork nature: The classic cork yoga mat for sustainable practice with natural slip resistance
- yogimat® cork nature alignment (art collection): With delicate laser engraving as a permanent alignment aid—the markings are tactile, durable, and support precise asana practice
- yogimat® cork pro: Premium version made from 100% natural cork and a blend of natural and synthetic rubber, OEKO-TEX® 100 Class 1 certified, manufactured in the EU (Portugal)
Tip for use: If you don’t sweat much, lightly moisten the cork mat with a spray bottle before your practice—this allows the cork to immediately develop its full grip.
Cork yoga blocks – yogiblock® for stability and depth
Yoga blocks are indispensable tools: they simplify asanas for beginners and intensify stretches for advanced practitioners. The yogiblock® made of cork is crafted from granulated cork —a true upcycled material derived from production waste from wine bottle stopper manufacturing.
- yogiblock® cork (basic, big, supersize): The classic in three sizes—to suit your height and individual needs
- yogiblock® flat cork: Flat block (30.5 x 20.5 x 5 cm) for slightly elevated sitting, such as during forward bends
- yogiblock® semi-circular cork: Rounded surface—ideal for heart openers, gentle backbends, as well as Iyengar, Restorative, and Yin Yoga
- yogiblock® egg cork: Egg-shaped specialty model for dynamic practice and chest opening (e.g., Fish Pose)
- Wedge small cork (10 x 9 x 3 cm): Wedge-shaped mini-block to relieve pressure on the wrists and intensify stretches
Cork fascia tools – massage and relaxation
Even after your yoga practice, cork remains your reliable companion. YOGISTAR fascia tools, made from genuine natural cork, are handy, durable, and can be used anywhere—at the office, after a workout, or at home.
- Cork fascia ball (8 cm diameter): For targeted trigger point massage and relaxation of the neck muscles
- Cork small foam roller (ø 5.5 x 10 cm): Compact mini roller for on-the-go use and targeted self-massage

Caring for your cork yoga products
All YOGISTAR cork products are easy to care for. A damp cloth —ideally with a natural mat cleaner—is sufficient to hygienically clean the surface. Important: Not machine washable; do not use harsh cleaning agents to preserve the natural cork structure for a long time.
