Discover the innovations that make Liforme Yoga Mats truly revolutionary
Stays grippy even when ‘sweaty-wet’
GripForMe® Material
We believe our revolutionary GripForMe® technology is the grippiest Yoga mat material currently available on Earth. An innovative design layering natural rubber and our specially engineered unique (do not accept cheap imitations!) non-toxic eco-polyurethane provides the most stable and comfortable practice surface, no need to worry about losing balance or sliding and no towel necessary. The perfect balance of durability and efficient biodegradability after the end of its use-life, a Liforme mat ticks all the boxes: comfortable, stable, durable, eco-friendly, body-kind, and most definitely grippy.
AlignForMe® System
The value of incorporating immediate, intuitive, visual alignment feedback into your Yoga practice cannot be overstated.
Liforme wasn’t the first to realise this, but we were the first to perfect a Yoga mat alignment system that really works. Previous attempts with grids, circles, and footprints were limiting due to varying body sizes, styles and alignment philosophies in Yoga. Our goal has always been flexibility. An alignment guide that works for all bodies, all types of Yoga, levels, whether in class or at home. When we debuted Liforme’s AlignForMe® system, it looked like no other Yoga mat.
Many imitators have appropriated the elements that make up our distinctive look: a vertical line down the centre, horizontal lines at both ends, 45-degree lines, and reverse points.
Before 2013, there were no Yoga mats that looked like ours. Now they are everywhere. That’s how you know we changed the game.
Unique & Original AlignForMe® Guide
Liforme’s most loved feature is its supper grippy top surface. Not only does it ensure your hands and feet stay securely anchored during every pose you, it also stays grippy even when sweaty wet. No need to worry about losing balance, falling or sliding, reducing your risk of injury.
We spent 5 years developing a Yoga mat fit for purpose. Not only does it transform your Yoga practice with its innovative features and exceptional grip, it is also ethically designed. Non-toxic, biodegradable in 1-5 years and body-kind, means that Liforme Yoga mats are safe for you, and the Planet. Liforme understands the importance of supporting your dedication to your Yoga journey and have a designed a mat that reflects just that.
Liforme's AlignForMe® Guide deepens your understanding of positioning, and helps you maintain proper alignment in your poses whilst also deepening your understanding of positioning and making new poses more attainable. Improve your balance and stability without the need to constantly check your body positioning.
Liforme Yoga Mats allow you to move through your poses with confidence, offering just the right amount of padding that absorbs any impact and reduces the strain on your knees, wrists and elbows. Focus on your alignment and breathe without discomfort and allow yourself to feel grounded with Liforme’s supportive foundation beneath you.
Game-changing Non-toxic Materials
Planet Friendly Materials
When Liforme was established, most yoga mats were made from PVC, a material that is highly ill-suited to Yoga: due to its slippery surface, quick deterioration, and inefficient biodegradability. Liforme set out to create a mat that is biodegradable, PVC-free, doesn’t harm the planet or your body, and provides the optimal blend of comfort, stability, and grip. This five-year process required a complete rethinking of existing Yoga mat materials and extensive testing and reformulating until we achieved the optimal balance between performance and sustainability.
Proprietary eco-polyurethane
One of our most technical challenges was finding the balance between excellent durability for Yoga and efficient biodegradability after the end of its use-life. This is why our very thin top layer of our Yoga Mat, is a smooth, cushiony layer, made from a specially engineered Eco-Polyurethane with an open cell structure that is both grippy, absorbent and biodegradable within 1-5 years!
Natural Rubber
All our Yoga Mats have a durable natural rubber base, which provides strong support, stability and cushioning for your practice.
Liforme only uses rubber that is sourced sustainably. We believe that rubber can and should be produced without clearing natural forests. When done responsibly, rubber production increases biodiversity and carbon sequestration, and reduces carbon dioxide emissions from deforestation.
Vegan Certified Yoga Mats
Liforme Yoga mats are also the first Yoga Mats to be Vegan certified demonstrating our commitment to the environment and alignment with the Yogic principle of Ahimsa (nonharm).
Our mats are PVC-free, biodegradable in 1-5 years in normal landfill conditions and made using high-quality non-toxic materials. We spent 5 years developing the most planet-friendly Yoga mat using high-quality materials.
PVC’s resistance to degradation means that just about every Yoga mat ever made from it is still sitting in a landfill somewhere or releases harmful toxins when burnt.
Maximum Hygiene
CleanGrip® Technology
We created an innovative, game-changing combination of materials which delivers the ultimate grip whilst keeping your mat hygienic at the very same time. Liforme’s base layer takes advantage of the stability and renewability of plant based natural rubber. Our very thin top layer is a smooth, cushiony, proprietary eco-polyurethane. In between, our patented CleanGrip® non-absorbent barrier layer bonds without toxic glues and allows the sweat and moisture to quickly evaporate from the top surface, providing the most grippy, comfortable and hygienic solution.
Independently assessed by World-Renowned College
Scientifically Proven
We want to be transparent and real about what our Yoga mats are made of which is why we’ve taken it a step further and commissioned an independent study from a leading polymer expert from Imperial College London - a global top ten university with a world-class reputation in science. Know your facts.
