Discover the Larzac wool yoga mat
Our observation: 90% of wool produced in France each year is thrown away. We designed a wool yoga mat that is ethical, comfortable, non-slip and washable.

The press is talking about us
The characteristics of wool
Our Larzac wool yoga mats are designed to offer unparalleled comfort from natural wool.
Renewable & local
All “ethical” mats are made from rubber that comes from the other side of the world.
Comfortable and natural
What a pleasure to practice on a natural, fragrant material. It gives a perfect grounding in the spirit of yoga.
Thermoregulatory
In winter it keeps you warm. In summer it keeps you cool. Naturally — just like for sheep.
Self-cleaning
Like a wool sweater, just air out the mat from time to time. For dust, run a vacuum over it.
Elastic
Resistant to deformation, it is ideal for a mat that is rolled and unrolled at every session.
Hypoallergenic
A natural material, wool is known to cause very few allergic reactions.

A French production
The wool comes from farms within the AOP Roquefort area. It is processed at the Filature Colbert mill in Camarès. The mats are then iron-stamped by the Boutique du Marquage in Toulouse. Finally, they are shipped and delivered directly to your home by Boost, a work-integration social enterprise based in Nîmes.
High quality wool
Pastoralism
Wool from the Larzac
Our wool comes from a mythical territory, the cradle of AOP Roquefort production. A demanding world of pastoralism. A deep territory, rich in ancient tradition and know-how.
Artisanal processing
Processing
The revival of a spinning mill
We process wool in Camarès (Aveyron), at Filature Colbert, created in 2023 to give wool a new future.
Custom marking
Iron-stamping
A nod to our shepherds
We brand our mats with a hot iron — a reminder of a practice that has now disappeared from sheep farming. The memory of a story and its beautiful evolution.
Responsible delivery
Logistics
Inclusive employment
Mat logistics is handled by Boost, a work-integration social enterprise based in Nîmes (Gard). At every stage, we have chosen committed partners.

FAQs
Find answers to frequently asked questions about our wool yoga mat.
According to a 2023 report by the CGAAER (the French ministerial council on food and agriculture), French wool faces twin pressure from synthetic materials and low-cost countries. The French wool sector must therefore rebuild itself, and new outlets must be found to give it value. That is the starting point of our business!
We designed the mat with a layer of latex so it is non-slip on both sides. It grips the floor. On the practice side, it gives you a solid anchor to flow through your postures safely. The wool brings a cocooning feel, and its scent helps you switch off.
PVC mats are durable and grip well, but they are neither biodegradable nor eco-friendly. Natural rubber mats are biodegradable and non-slip, but they come from the other side of the world (South-East Asia, South America). Our wool mat is made from a natural, renewable, French material. We only use a thin layer of latex to make it non-slip.
A thick yoga mat can cushion and ease your joints. Without compromising the stability you need in your practice, our wool mat is designed to support your knees and elbows. Larzac wool — from Lacaune sheep — has a particular springiness that is well recognised in the bedding industry.
Like a wool jumper, wool cleans itself when you let it air out. As a rule, air your mat as often as you can to let the wool breathe. Regular care extends the life of the mat. Vacuum whenever needed to remove dust.
