Gaiam's cork yoga products are made from 100% natural recycled cork, a material that is naturally antimicrobial, sustainably harvested from cork oak bark (which regrows without cutting down the tree), and free from PVC, phthalates, latex, and heavy metals. Cork provides firm, stable support without off-gassing the chemical smell common to foam blocks, and it's biodegradable at end of life. The acupressure mat uses non-toxic TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), a more eco-friendly alternative to PVC. Our go-to for yoga accessories that skip the toxic materials most competitors still use.
