    DETAILS

    Designed for yogis on the move, the VIRAT mat seduces with its lightness and finesse. At 3 mm thick, it combines minimalism and performance: closer to the ground, it promotes optimal stability and intensifies grounding and concentration in each posture. Its orange colour is obtained through a fibre bath in annatto, a plant used in Ayurveda for its protective and soothing properties, notably recognised for naturally repelling insects and refreshing the skin.

    • Ayurvedic colouring with medicinal plants, rich in therapeutic benefits
    • Tested and approved by yoga teachers
    • Nomadic and portable: lightweight, it folds easily to fit in your suitcase or sports bag

    MATERIALS USED

    • LOCALLY GROWN ORGANIC COTTON

    Grown in Tamil Nadu, our GOTS-certified organic cotton is selected for its softness and durability. Thanks to the expertise of our artisans and traditional weaving techniques, it becomes naturally non-slip, while respecting the environment and supporting local communities.

    • NATURAL LATEX

    Taken from Hevea trees and meticulously applied with a brush to the entire underside of the carpet.
    Some models with a more pronounced grip (Yama and Surya Pro) also receive a thin layer on top. Over time, you can use our latex refills to reinforce or maintain the grip of your mat, for lasting comfort and reliability.

    MANUFACTURING

    Each Mahola rug is the result of handcrafted work in Tamil Nadu, in southern India. We don't operate any factories; we work directly with weavers who perpetuate their traditional skills in the heart of their villages. The entire process relies on manual labor.

    Our commitment is complete:

    • Selection of organic cotton sourced from local farms,
    • Production of natural dyes using Ayurvedic plants,
    • Minimising the carbon footprint of the manufacturing process (0 Electricity)
    • Sustainable and secure contractual arrangementslabour

    CARE AND WASHING

    Our rug is designed to last for years, provided it receives the attention it deserves:

    WASHING

    • Machine washable (delicate cycle at 30°C recommended).
    • Use of a mild, natural laundry detergent
    • Wash separately, ideally in a protective bag to preserve the weave.

    DRYING

    • Lay flat, away from direct light.
    • Avoid: sunlight, tumble dryers, radiators — which can damage plant-based dyes

    DAILY MAINTENANCE

    The natural, plant-based dyes used to color the cotton in our rugs possess antibacterial properties recognized in Ayurveda. They naturally limit the growth of bacteria. For daily cleaning, simply shaking the rug or using a natural disinfectant spray is sufficient. In case of stains, a light cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. Avoid harsh products (fabric softeners, stain removers, abrasive soaps, etc.).

    REVIVE THE MEMBERSHIP

    Over time and with washing, the grip may diminish. Applying a thin layer of natural latex with a brush is enough to restore the original grip. In warm weather, lightly dampening your hands will improve the grip on the cotton.

    CERTIFICATIONS

    GOTS - Global Organic Textile Standard:Ensures a truly organic fiber, clean processing and respect for working conditions.

    Handloom Mark:Certifies a completely hand-woven product, in accordance with Indian traditions, without the use of any machines.

    NATURAL, HANDMADE YOGA MATS

    BY THE CARE OF OUR ARTISAN CRAFTSMEN

    Mahola was born from a deep desire: to reconnect with yoga and its original philosophy, in contrast to the giants of the sports industry. Priti, an Indian yoga teacher who arrived in France almost 20 years ago, cherished the memory of the handwoven rugs from her native region, imbued with tradition and a sense of serenity. From this nostalgia emerged a meeting of minds: craftsmanship, ecology, Ayurveda, design, and modern well-being. Our rugs are designed to bring yoga back into the heart of the home, as an intimate, beautiful, and soothing ritual. Each piece supports women and rural families in Tamil Nadu and embodies the pride of a fair, authentic, and profoundly human purchase.

    OUR ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS

    01 How often should a cotton yoga mat be washed?

    It is not recommended to wash your yoga mat too frequently.
    Like a winter coat that you wear often, it doesn’t need to be washed after every use. Ideally, practice with clean hands and feet to limit washing.
    Based on our experience and feedback from our users:
    - Very active yogis (more than 4 sessions per week, dynamic and intense practices): about once a month
    - Regular yogis (1 to 2 sessions per week): once or twice a year, depending on how you feel

    02 What is the difference between a VIRAT and a SURYA?

    Both are 3 mm models and are mainly designed for "nomadic" practitioners or anyone practicing on carpet or outdoors. Here, stability and practicality take priority. They are all handmade but mainly differ in the origin of the cotton and the "feel." The SURYA is made from recycled cotton, so it is rougher, but this gives it a stronger grip, ideal for dynamic practices like Vinyasa. We also use it a lot outdoors because the "heathered" look and our color choices make dirt less visible ;-). The VIRAT has a much smoother and softer feel, and its organic cotton allows us to apply all the colors from our Ayurvedic palette. It makes an excellent travel mat, and its colors are sure to lift your mood.

    03 Are MAHOLA mats heavy to carry?

    No. The 3 mm yoga mats are the lightest in the range and are ideal for travel or regular commuting. Overall, our cotton mats are no heavier than PVC mats of equivalent quality.

    04 Will my mat fade after washing?

    Our mats are naturally dyed using Ayurvedic plants and therefore contain no chemical fixatives or other toxic substances. So yes, you should expect slight color changes over time. This is true for everything around us in nature. It is worth noting that the main change usually happens during the first wash before stabilizing afterward. Like your favorite jeans, it will change color over time and with use, but to you, it will always remain the same...

    05 Can you use your MAHOLA yoga mat outdoors?

    Yes, absolutely.
    For outdoor use (terrace, garden, beach, yoga retreat…), we especially recommend the VIRAT or SURYA models in 3 mm. Their tight and durable weave makes them perfectly suited for uneven surfaces.
    These are sturdy cotton yoga mats designed to last. Almost indestructible.
