What It Is
The Yoloha Balance and Unity Pro Cork Yoga Mat is a 6mm-thick mat built from cork and natural rubber, designed for practitioners who want reliable grip without a towel — in both dry and heavily sweated conditions. At $189, it's positioned as a long-term mat for daily practice, not a starter purchase.
Built to Last
Yoloha engineered the Unity Pro with a blended cork surface and a plant foam base layer. The cork top provides a naturally non-slip texture that actually improves grip as moisture increases — useful for hot yoga, Bikram, or any high-sweat format. The plant foam bottom is designed for energy return and cushion without sacrificing stability. The mat contains 83% bio-based renewable materials certified by the USDA BioPreferred program, using cork, natural rubber, and sugarcane. No PVC, no plasticizers, and fully vegan.

Best For
This mat suits practitioners who sweat heavily and have dealt with slip issues on standard PVC mats. It works across styles — hot yoga, vinyasa, restorative, or strength-based formats. The 72" x 26" footprint is standard length; taller users or those who prefer extra room should check whether a longer variant is available. At 7 lbs., this is not the lightest mat to carry to a studio daily, but reviewers consistently note the weight is offset by the comfort and grip performance.
Care
Spray lightly with Yoloha mat cleaner or a natural cleaner after each session and lay flat to dry. Cork increases grip when wet — a light spray of water on hand and foot placement zones before practice can add extra traction. Store away from direct heat and sunlight to preserve the materials. Yoloha offers free 30-day return shipping on this size for the continental U.S. (Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories are excluded).
