Why You’ll Love the Caliban Yoga Mat

• Non-slip, confidence-building traction: A textured top surface helps hands and feet stay planted through planks, lunges, and balances—even as your body warms up.

• Cushion with control: Thoughtfully tuned density cushions knees and wrists while keeping you close to the floor for strong alignment and smooth transitions.

• Lay-flat reliability: Unrolls smoothly and resists edge curl, so you can focus on breath instead of fussing with your setup.

• Durable yet portable: Built for daily practice and light enough to take anywhere—studio sessions, park flows, or weekend trips.

• Elemental aesthetic: The Caliban design channels surf-worn rock and shifting tides—bold, grounded, and naturally photogenic.

Complete your setup with a moisture-wicking yoga towel for hot classes, a breathable mat bag or sling for hands-free carry, and our gentle mat cleaner to keep your surface fresh.

Built for Real-World Practice

Your mat should help you forget about your mat. Caliban delivers a grippy surface that enhances traction as you heat up, plus a supportive base that minimizes wobble during standing sequences and single-leg balances. Transition from energizing sun salutations to deep hip openers with steady control, then settle into savasana on a surface that’s quietly supportive—not spongy, not slick, just right.

Who It’s For

• Hot yoga fans who benefit from reliable grip as heat and humidity rise (layer a non-slip towel for maximum hold)

• Yin, restorative & meditation practitioners who appreciate joint-friendly cushioning during longer holds

• Outdoor movers who roll out on patios, rooftops, park lawns, and decks and need durable performance

Care & Cleaning

Keep your Caliban Yoga Mat performing at its best with a quick post-class reset:

1. Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap or a dedicated yoga mat cleaner.

2. Air dry completely before rolling to preserve texture and lifespan.

3. Store smart in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect color and feel.

4. Roll print side out so the mat lies flat instantly at your next session.
