Unroll slowly. Breathe first.
Natural rubber, cork and jute mats, cotton props and meditation cushions, made for a practice that begins long before the first pose - and made to go back to the earth when you are done with them.
Breathe with the circle - in for four, out for four
Nothing plastic
No PVC, TPE or foam in any product, and no plastic in the parcel - kraft, jute and cotton tape only.
Tested in class first

4, 6 or 8 millimetres?
Thickness changes a practice more than colour or brand. Here is how our teachers explain it to first-time students.
4mm
Feel the floor
Firm and light. Standing balances feel planted, and it rolls small enough to carry to class.
Travel · vinyasa · balance
6mm
Everyday ground
Where most students settle: enough give for kneeling, still stable on one leg.
Daily hatha · mixed practice
8mm
Kind to knees
Cushioned for tender knees and wrists, long seated holds and restorative work.

“I have sweated through three PVC mats in two years. The Ganga mat grips more the hotter the room gets, and it smells of nothing after the first week.”
Ritika Menon
Vinyasa teacher, Bengaluru
“My knees told me to try the 8 mm, the studio told me to try the 6 mm first. They were right - balance poses feel planted and kneeling no longer hurts.”
Harshad Joshi
Practising since 2023, Vadodara
“The starter kit had everything my mother needed for her first class, including a little card telling her what each prop is for. She uses the strap every morning.”
Pooja Bhattacharya
Customer, Kolkata
Tapovan, since 2014
A studio by the river that started selling what it used
Prana Path began in 2014 as a small teaching room above a tea stall on Laxman Jhula Road, with eleven borrowed mats and a view of the river. Students kept asking where our props came from; the honest answer was that we had them made, a few at a time, by people we knew.
We still teach every morning, and we still only sell what we practise on. A mat stays in the studio for a full season before it goes on sale, and if our teachers do not reach for it, it does not ship.
