Kurma CORE professional Yoga Mat 6.5mm

Why buy three mats when you only need one? The CORE, with its 6.5 mm thickness, works perfectly for yoga, fitness and Pilates. Thick fitness mats such as 20 mm Pilates mats provide too much cushioning for yoga. In poses on hands or knees the foam sinks in too much, which can strain the wrists. The CORE gives you enough cushioning and comfort for Pilates and intense workouts on your back. You only need to buy one mat, which is better for your budget and for the planet. Better for your budget and for the planet.

Two different surfaces in one mat

The top side has a subtle texture, perfect for Iyengar, Hatha and powerful standing poses where you need extra stability. Flip your mat over and you get a smooth surface that is ideal for dynamic flows. This underside is highly appreciated by Ashtanga yogis. Pro tip: the smooth surface provides 15% more grip with light perspiration. A game changer for your sweaty palms.

A favourite for over 30 years

Since 1992 the CORE has been the worldwide favorite of yoga studios and teachers. Why? Because comfort, stability and grip are in perfect balance. This high-end PVC yoga mat has already supported thousands of yogis in their practice and still does. No trends, just quality that stands the test of time.

Here is what you can expect:

• Two different surfaces in one mat
• Perfect balance between comfort and stability
• Suitable for yoga, Pilates and fitness

What the Kurma CORE professional yoga mat does best is let you focus on yoga:

• Superior grip
• No bunching
• No squishing
• No scent
• No toxins
• No wear & tear

The original Kurma mat was created by Kurma founder, Claus Grzesch, in Germany in the early 90's.

As a direct disciple of India’s foremost yoga guru, B.K.S. Iyengar, Claus has been one of Europe’s most respected Iyengar yoga teachers and teacher trainers over the past 3 decades.

The Kurma Grip represents the evolution of this famous design.

Useful tip:
Before initial use, we recommend wiping your Kurma CORE yoga mat using a cloth or a non-scratch sponge moistened with a few drops of organic washing-up liquid and water. This will remove possible film residue left by the manufacturer. Afterwards rinse with clear water, lay flat and dry completely.

*If you regularly sweat or experience sweaty hands, we recommend using a yoga towel on top of your Kurma CORE mat. Or alternatively look at the Kurma GECO rubber mat.</>

To store:
Always roll your Kurma CORE yoga mat with the embossed top surface facing outwards. This prevents curling edges, ensuring your mat will stay flat to the ground while you practice. When rolled up the mat stands vertically on its own for easy storage.

To clean:
Thanks to the mat’s closed-cell structure, no deep cleaning is required. Instead, simply clean the top surface with a wet cloth and a mild organic detergent or sanitizing spray if necessary. Rinse with clear water, lay flat and dry completely. The mat can be left to dry in the sunshine.

Putting a mat in the washing machine is not recommended, as this will likely produce dents and creases.
