Collection: TPE Yoga mats

Light, soft and comfortable practice

A good yoga mat doesn't have to be heavy. Or stiff. Or technical. Sometimes you're just looking for softness, comfort, and a surface that feels gentle on your body. A mat you can take anywhere, yet is still sturdy enough to rely on.

That's exactly what a TPE yoga mat offers. Lightweight, soft to the touch, and surprisingly supportive – without feeling heavy. At Yogi Essentials, you'll find both full TPE mats and cork mats with a TPE backing. Both combine natural softness with practical durability.

What is TPE?

TPE is a modern material often used for comfortable, resilient yoga mats. It feels soft, is odorless, 100% recyclable, and contains no latex, PVC, or other harsh chemicals.

TPE is naturally lightweight and cushioning. It flexes with your body, provides joint support, and is therefore particularly suitable for yogis with pressure points, injuries, or who need recovery.

A mat that accommodates your body

A TPE yoga mat feels soft. Not like a mattress, but like a firm, flexible base. The mat is designed to cushion the impact on your knees, elbows, and ankles—without sinking in.

That's why it's beloved by yogis seeking comfort during calm or balanced sessions. You'll especially feel the difference when reclining or holding a pose for a long time. The mat gently supports you without losing contact with the floor.

The benefits of a full TPE mat

Our full TPE yoga mats are extra lightweight, making them ideal for taking with you—to the studio, on vacation, or simply from room to room. They stay put and are easy to clean with a damp cloth.

Cork on TPE: natural, light and balanced

Want to combine the comfort of TPE with the natural look and grip of cork? Then our cork yoga mat with a TPE backing is exactly what you're looking for. The cork top layer feels warm and dry. With light perspiration, the cork absorbs moisture, giving you extra grip—without feeling rough or sticky.

When do you choose TPE?

TPE is right for you if you:

• Looking for a light, comfortable mat?
• Have sensitive joints or are recovering
• Do you like to practice at home or are you regularly on the road?
• Want more comfort in sitting or lying positions?
• Finds sustainability and softness important

Mats that are better suited to more intensive practice

Do you practice intensively, sweat a lot, or work with powerful flows like vinyasa, ashtanga, or power yoga? Then a PU rubber mat offers more stability and grip.

TPE is designed to give—not to hold you back or correct your every move. It's a softer, gentler option for those who see yoga as a time of recovery, deepening, or rest.
