Carbon Neutral Cork Yoga Mats

Corq's Non-Slip Mats are Naturally Anti-Microbial and Eco-Friendly

— October 28, 2020 — Lifestyle
Corq is a Canadian yoga mat brand that came to fruition when a Calgary couple sought out a more effective design solution to suit their hot yoga needs. Looking to create a mat that blended comfort and support with a durable non-slip design, Corq launched the 'Everyday Mat.'

Each 5lb mat is 4mm thick, and features a premium fine grain cork top layer that's sustainably harvested in Portugal, and a natural rubber underlayer that provides long-lasting and even support. For each order, Corq also donates a portion of its proceeds to the Jarí Para REDD+ Avoided Unplanned Deforestation project.

Corq's Everyday Mat is available from the brand's web store, where it retails for $98.00 CAD.
