Product Reviews by Experts


There’s something special about practising on a mat woven entirely from nature. The organic cotton has an earthy texture underfoot that synthetic mats just can’t match, and the Ayurvedic plant dyes give it real character. Knowing each mat is handloomed by Indian artisans makes the practice feel more intentional. The natural rubber base keeps it steady, and it’s machine washable, which makes it surprisingly practical for regular use. This one-woman business carries more integrity than a lot of established brands. The cotton is GOTS-certified and handloomed by artisan communities under fair conditions, which preserves generational craft skills and provides reliable income that lets weavers work from home and stay with their families. The mats are fully biodegradable, from cotton to natural rubber, and handlooming uses almost no electricity. On top of that, 3% of profits go to mental health causes, including yoga-based mentoring for young girls. That’s conscious craft, start to finish.


I love a brand that was obviously built to meet the discerning needs of its founder, and LIV Within absolutely feels like that kind of brand. I love that plastic has nothing to do with this yoga mat – it’s such a rare experience not to have some level of plastic wafting in your face while on a mat. The softness of the organic cotton, and earthiness of the aromatherapeutic herbs bring really unique qualities to practising. The level of thought, care, and attention to detail in this mat inspires me to take those qualities into my own practice. LIV WITHIN is in a class of its own when it comes to ethical and sustainable practices in the category of yoga equipment. 100% GOTS certified organic cotton, natural tree rubber non-slip base and its beautifully handmade qualities put it in a league of its own. Tough to go back to a standard PVC or TPE yoga mat after experiencing this one. Thankfully, now I don’t have to.


There’s something really special about practising on a yoga mat that’s been woven by hand. You can see and feel the craftsmanship, and it has a warmth and character that mass-produced mats simply don’t have. The cotton surface is comfortable to practise on, while the natural rubber base keeps it stable. Knowing each mat is individually handcrafted by artisan weavers using natural materials makes it feel even more meaningful.
