YogaKargha Amrit Yoga Mat

Cotton mats offer a tactile, fabric-like texture that feels more natural against the skin than synthetic materials. While they provide excellent grip when slightly damp from sweat, they may feel slippery during the very beginning of a practice before you have warmed up.

The anti-skid backing is recommended if you practice dynamic styles like Vinyasa or Power Yoga, as it prevents the mat from sliding on hardwood or tile floors. If you primarily practice restorative yoga, meditation, or Yin, the standard cotton finish is usually sufficient.

Because it is made from organic cotton, you can machine wash the mat on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. We recommend air drying it flat to maintain its shape and longevity.

At 4mm to 6mm thick, this mat provides a cushioned, supportive surface that is comparable to most standard yoga mats. It offers enough padding for joint comfort during floor-based poses without sacrificing stability.

Yes, the mat is dyed using non-toxic, Azo-free pigments. These are free from harmful chemicals, making them a safe and gentle choice for those with sensitive skin or chemical sensitivities.

While the mat is durable, it is designed primarily for indoor use. If you do take it outside, be aware that the organic cotton may absorb moisture from the ground and will require a thorough cleaning afterward.
