Why Do Yogis (Jogi) Meditate On Wool?  

Wool has the frequency of The Divine.  Wool is a negative ion.  Wool also protects from EMF waves. We have high-frequency wool yoga mats for meditation. You can hold the yoga position for an extended period.

No Sheep Are Harmed!  The sheep are sheared without injury, and their wool is super-washed and knitted into a porous fabric.  The fabric is then stabilized with potato starch.  Our mats look just like the skin, but these sacred animals are not harmed and live to donate their wool during future shears. That's why called vegan yoga mats.

More About The Superwash Process:  The company we ordered our sheep's wool fabric from analyzed the water remaining at the end of their superwash cycle, which is unpolluted, untainted, and uncontaminated.  No harm is done to Mother Earth!

Shedding:  As shedding is normal, you may lose some wool fibers when you receive your new yoga mat; even Persian carpets shed! It's sustainable and renewable!

Hot Temperatures: In hot temperatures, wool absorbs moisture, making it feel dry and less soft.

Use our Sheepskin sheep's wool Kundalini Yoga Mats/Rugs for daily yoga practice and meditation. It promotes blood circulation and relaxes your body. It is a negative Ion!

Why Use A Sheep Wool Yoga Mat:

When it comes to yoga, having the right equipment can make all the difference in your practice. One often overlooked but essential piece of equipment is the yoga mat. While there are many options available on the market, one material stands out for its unique benefits - sheep wool.

Sheep wool yoga mats, like the ones offered by Soul Comfort, are made from high-quality natural materials that provide unparalleled comfort and support. Here are some reasons why you should consider using a sheep wool yoga mat for your practice:

1. Moisture Absorption

Sheep wool has excellent moisture absorption properties, making it ideal for sweaty yoga sessions. Unlike synthetic materials that can become slippery when wet, sheep wool absorbs moisture, keeping your mat dry and providing a secure grip. This can help prevent slips and injuries during your practice.

2. Bacteria Resistance

Sheep wool naturally repels bacteria, making it a hygienic choice for your yoga mat. Bacteria and fungi thrive in warm and moist environments, which can be common on synthetic mats. By using a sheep wool mat, you can minimize the risk of bacterial growth and maintain a clean and healthy practice space.

3. Durability

Sheep wool is known for its durability, making it a long-lasting investment for your yoga practice. Unlike synthetic mats that can wear out quickly, sheep wool mats are built to withstand regular use and maintain their shape and support over time. With proper care, a sheep wool yoga mat can accompany you on your yoga journey for years.

At Soul Comfort, we understand the importance of providing our customers with ultimate comfort and health benefits. Our sheep wool yoga mats are crafted with care and attention to detail, ensuring a superior yoga experience. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced yogi, a sheep wool yoga mat can enhance your practice and take it to the next level.

So, why settle for a regular yoga mat when you can elevate your practice with a sheep wool yoga mat? Experience the difference and discover the comfort and support only natural materials can provide. Shop our selection of sheep wool yoga mats at Soul Comfort and take your yoga practice to new heights.

What is the difference between sheepskin and sheep wool?

Sheepskin is the hide of the animal and includes the wool attached to the hide. In a sheepskin, the wool remains attached.

Sheep wool is the fibre sheared off the sheep and used to make various wool products. At Soul Comfort, we use a sheep wool fabric to manufacture most of our products.

What is sheep wool fabric?

The fabric used in our products is a combination of wool fibre (sheared off the sheep), a nylon grid and a medical grade acrylic liquid stabilizer. It is made using a process that takes the loose wool and ‘knits’ it into the nylon grid. Then, the acrylic is used to stabilize the wool in place and create a flat surface by which the fabric can be cut. This results in a material that has the look of a sheepskin, without the hide of the animal. As a result, the wool is machine washable.

General care:

Expect a small amount of shedding when the product is new as there will be some loose fibres. You can machine air fluff (no heat) for five minutes to remove excess fibres. Keep away from high heat and direct sunlight.

Over time and with more use, wool fibres will naturally bind together creating a more ‘clumped’ look. This change in the look does not affect the performance of the wool. You will still receive all of the natural and beautiful benefits. If you prefer a fluffier look, you can brush the product with a metal brush after laundering.

With care, your wool products will last many, many years.

Washing instructions:

Machine washable on delicate setting in cool/lukewarm water (up to 70°C) with a wool soap containing lanolin, such as Eucalan. Air drying is recommended. You may use a dryer WITHOUT HEAT to fluff your product. Remove from dryer before it dries completely (up to 85%). The excess moisture will not be felt and will disperse into the air quickly.

Wool is anti-microbial and will not need excessive laundering. To freshen your product, air it out by hanging outside when the air is moist, out of direct sunlight. When you bring it back inside, the wool will release the moisture into the air. This moisture redistribution results in a refreshening. If there is some staining or seepage from wounds, you can spot clean with warm water (up to 70°C) and a disinfecting soap. Do not bleach.
