Cork yoga products at YOGISTAR —natural, non-slip, high-quality
Yoga products made from natural cork combine a renewable natural material with outstanding 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 having to cut down a single 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:
- Renewable: No trees are cut down; the raw material is renewable
- Hypoallergenic: Free of allergens, ideal for sensitive skin
- Antibacterial & easy to care for: Simply wipe down with a damp cloth
- Warm, pleasant feel: a grounding sense of practice on the mat
- Non-slip even 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 sturdy natural rubber bottom. Especially practical: As moisture increases, the mat becomes more slip-resistant—ideal for dynamic flows and sweaty sessions.
- yogimat® cork nature: The classic cork yoga mat with natural slip resistance
- yogimat® cork nature alignment (art collection): Features 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)
Usage tip: 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 make asanas easier for beginners and intensify stretches for advanced practitioners. The yogiblock® made of cork is crafted from cork granules —a true upcycled material derived from production waste in the manufacture of wine bottle corks.

- yogiblock® flat cork: Flat block (30.5 x 20.5 x 5 cm) for slightly elevated sitting, such as during forward bends

- yogiblock® egg cork: A special egg-shaped model for dynamic practice and chest opening (e.g., Fish Pose)
- Small cork wedge (10 x 9 x 3 cm): A wedge-shaped mini-block designed to relieve pressure on the wrists and intensify stretches

Even after your yoga practice, cork remains your reliable companion. YOGISTAR fascia tools, made from genuine natural cork, are easy to handle, durable, and can be used anywhere—at the office, after a workout, or at home.

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 all you need to hygienically clean the surface. Important: Not machine washable; do not use harsh cleaning agents to preserve the natural cork structure for the long term.
