Asha 5 · Clay
Batch No. 07 · on the looms now
Woven, not poured.
Most yoga mats begin in a chemical vat. Ours begin on a loom: rain-fed cotton, dyed with turmeric root and river clay. Grippy when you sweat. Softer every year.

The mat industry runs on petroleum. We run on rain-fed cotton, river clay, and the patience of nine looms in a courtyard that smells of turmeric.
A note from the loomhouse
Zenomaura began with a question: what did people practice on for the two thousand years before PVC? The answer, woven cloth, turned out to be better. It grips through sweat, washes like a garment, and composts when its work is done.

"The loom doesn't hurry. Neither should the practice."
“Two years of daily ashtanga and it grips better now than the day it arrived. My rubber mat never survived one summer.”
“I bought it for the ethics and stayed for the smell of the room when I unroll it. It's cloth, not plastic. You feel it immediately.”
“The Nila folds into my carry-on. Practiced in six airports this year. Washed it in a hotel sink once; it dried overnight.”
