This Foldable Yoga Mat Is Perfect for the Yogi On-the-Go

On April 1, Alma Story is launching an ultra-light, durable yoga mat for yoga enthusiasts on the move. Having overcome personal challenges herself with the grounding influence of yoga, the founder of Alma Story, Dariia had the vision to create a global like-minded community.

Alma’s goal is to make yoga more accessible, lighter, and environmentally conscious. As wellness travel grows, yoga practicers may find that traveling with a heavy, bulky yoga mat can be inconvenient —especially when flying with carry-on luggage only. The foldable, eco-friendly and machine-washable Alma Travel Yoga Mat fits in a regular handbag, only weights 1kg (2 lbs) and comes in a little pouch. The foldable design ensures a clean and hygienic yoga practice—unlike regular mats, the bottom of the mat never touches the side you practice on. To clean, just throw the mat into the washing machine and hang it to dry.

The mat is made of recycled plastic bottles while non-toxic water-based ink is used for the AlmaAlign System, a unique feature which is designed to guide you through every pose and flow. The mats are biodegradable, recyclable, free of PVC, PBA, toxic chemicals, odors, silicone, and phthalates. $1 from each purchase goes to ocean clean-up initiatives.
