Sustainable.

Big Raven Yoga mats are the highest quality yoga mats in the world. What makes their yoga mats so great? Great materials.

Eco-friendly. Their brushed microfiber suede top is a proprietary recycled polyester to help lessen our impact on the environment.

100% natural. The base of the mat is made from biodegradable, recyclable, tree rubber which provides both excellent cushion and great traction for wet floors. Their yoga mats are the perfect blend of art and engineering and function as both your yoga towel and your yoga mat.

Nearly indestructible. No matter what you do to them they’ll continue to look and perform like new for years to come. Hose it down or machine wash on cold in a front-loading washing machine and hang to dry for a long, colorful life.

Microfiber suede surface. This provides more grip the wetter it gets, making it the perfect companion for sweatier practices and/or more intensive exercise regimes — you’ll never need a towel over your yoga mat again! It’s thick enough to keep your knees happy but light enough to take with you on the go. Great for dry practices as well!

Creative.

One thing I appreciate about Big Raven is their attentiveness to small businesses and creativity. They don’t use just any stock photos for their designs - everything is either designed in-house or created by their guest artist community.

Their mats are printed in their Minnesota studio using nontoxic water-based dyes and are completely washable.

You won’t see the Big Raven logo on your yoga mat, that is, unless you look carefully. Instead of disturbing the beauty of the artist’s original work with a big logo, they carefully and intricately hide an easter egg into each design. Can you find “Big Raven” in yours?

Luxurious.

  • 24" wide × 72" long × 3/16" thick (183cm × 61cm × 4.5mm)

  • 4.5 mm thick — thicker than most mats to provide extra support for knees, wrists, and hips!

  • Sturdy, portable, and easily packable at 5.5 pounds.

  • Lays flat — the ends won’t curl after it’s been rolled!

  • Sustainably printed using nontoxic, water-based dyes.

  • The wetter it gets the grippier it gets. (Great for hot yoga!)

  • Colorfast.

  • Washable.

  • Luxuriously soft and thick for restorative practices.

  • Gorgeous, vibrant artwork that’s just as beautiful as anything you’d hang on your wall!

  • Unique — no one will have a mat as cool as yours!

Logan Pass Luminosity

Glacier National Park is full of breathtaking views wherever you turn. This mat is inspired by reference photos from my very own travels. The beauty of Glacier amplifies at daybreak, when alpenglow lights the mountains and the clouds burn with color. The sunrise looked and felt like how music sounds, slowly blanketing the earth in golden glow. The serenity and stillness of this moment at Logan Pass filled me with joy and gratitude for being present and alive. Embrace that same feeling of gratitude as you practice your flow on this mat!

Yosemite Sunrise

Yosemite, one of the most renowned and beautiful national parks, adorns this yoga mat with meticulous hand painted detail. 

John Muir says it best when referring to the park: "It is by far the grandest of all the special temples of Nature I was ever permitted to enter."

Special thanks to my friend Christina Fideler for the beautiful photograph that inspired this painting.

Midsummer Sky Pond

Unroll your mat and transport yourself into the ethereal views of the Colorado Rockies. Envision yourself in the presence of the bold mountains and crystal clear alpine water that Rocky Mountain National Park has to offer. This design is inspired by my own adventures to this very spot; the breathtaking views convinced me that I needed to preserve the memory through painting. I hope this piece sparks something in you to get out and get adventuring.
