In Korkie, we wanted to kick off 2026 differently - more slowly and consciously. We've created a limited edition of yoga mats that are not just functional tools, but a small ritual. A space you can return to. A space where you can be gentle – yet strong at the same time.
Two designs were born, two stories, two energies. Choose the one that resonates with you most.
What will you find in the article?
Tiny Blooms - Fragility that is not weakness
Tiny flowers - perhaps inconspicuous at first glance. But if you pause... you'll see a whole world in them.
This design is inspired by the gentleness of feminine energy. The kind that doesn't need to shout to be heard. It is the energy of youth, playfulness, and tenderness. The energy of a woman who learns to listen to her body, her breath, her emotions.
The flowers remind us that:
gentleness is a gift
sensitivity is strength
and that growth and progress don't have to be painful
Like a flower – you too can be fragile yet firmly rooted. This mat is for all who love cute details, lightness, light, and the feeling that it's okay to be exactly who you are.
The Tiny Blooms mat is ideal for:
gentle yoga, morning rituals
slow flow, yin, stretching
women who want more kindness – to themselves
Zen Lotus - Clarity of mind, peace in the midst of chaos
The second design took us far... to India, the cradle of yoga, meditation, and deep spirituality.
The lotus is not just a beautiful flower. It is a symbol of birth, purity, and inner strength. It grows from mud, from darkness, from the depths. And yet – when it blossoms – it remains pure, calm, and untouched.
In yogic philosophy, the lotus represents:
the journey through challenges
the ability to remain true to oneself even in difficult times
the connection of body, mind, and soul
This design is for those who seek depth, stability, and inner quiet. For women (and men) who know that true peace does not begin externally, but within.
The Zen Lotus mat will support you:
in power poses
in meditation
in moments when you need to breathe again and remind yourself who you are
How our designs are created
The 2026 limited edition was created slowly and with respect for craftsmanship. I met with illustrator Eliška Straková over paper, pencil, and watercolors – no templates, but actual hand strokes, layers of color, and subtle imperfections that give the design life.
One motif blossomed into delicate flowers – light, natural, full of details that you only discover upon closer inspection. The other carries the tranquility of the lotus, drawn attentively and in silence, with awareness of its symbolism and power.
All lines passed through the hands of a real woman, created here in our Czech studio, and only then transferred to the mat.
It is a local collaboration with a human dimension – a fusion of a brand and an artist who believe in slowness, honesty, and beauty created by hand.
Two paths - One goal - Return to oneself
With love and responsibility
Our cork mats are among the few exceptions on the market. They are made from recycled materials, saving natural resources and helping to reduce waste.
They come with sustainability certification, meaning the cork comes from forests managed with respect. They are gentle, responsible, and produced in harmony with nature.
Thanks to this, you know that your practice truly supports sustainability, landscape protection, and its diversity. Because it's not just about how you practice - but also on what.
CONCLUSION
Both designs were created in limited quantities...
Not to sell out quickly - but to find their souls.
Perhaps the delicate blossoms will appeal to you. Perhaps the tranquility of the lotus will draw you in.
And perhaps you know that both these energies live within you simultaneously.
Whatever you choose, we hope your mat becomes a place where you feel at home.
