Excellent & expedited custom made cork yoga mat made for my daughter, Emily. Lauren put her silhouette & contact name on it! It is beautiful! Emily was “floored” by it because it was specially designed for her! This is her 2nd cork yoga mat from Lauren at Ila Strate! I HIGHLY recommend it!

Very happy with quality and finish of my new mat. It really encapsulates the spirit of the Galapagos Islands. I cannot wait to see more of the new collection!

Not only aesthetically pleasing (and a solid conversation starter), this mat is AMAZING. I've been a yogi for a solid 8 years now, and this mat runs circles around my previous ones. It's durable, absorbent, and I'm not flopping around on a slippery surface. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend.

I absolutely love these mats - comfortable, sustainable, and visually pleasing.

From the moment I unrolled the Tribute to Keya Pro Mat, I could feel the intention and artistry behind its design. The vibrant turtle imagery is not only beautiful, it carries a deep sense of grounding, wisdom, and slow, intentional movement—exactly the energy I want to embody in my practice.

Functionally, this mat delivers. It has excellent grip (even during hot yoga), the perfect balance of cushioning and firmness, and stays in place on any surface. I feel fully supported in poses from standing balance to seated meditation. The size is generous without being bulky, and it rolls up easily without curling.

I appreciate that Ilastrate weaves storytelling, cultural symbolism, and high-quality performance into each product. The Tribute to Keya mat feels like more than a mat—it’s a reminder to slow down, breathe, and move with purpose.

Highly recommend to anyone who wants their practice to be both deeply personal and powerfully supported.

This was a gift for my friend who loves it. She says it's fun to practice on. She is surprised by the quality of the grip and she gets lots of compliments!

I love my new cork mat. Hand painted in crown chakra colors. Such a beautiful reminder to keep shriving to open my heart, speak kindness and accept myself. Thank you!!

Besides that, there is nothing unhealthy in it, which is so important.

Absolutely beautiful artwork. I have received numerous compliments on the mat already. It is also excellent quality. A fantastic purchase.

It was so much fun to work on the creative process with Lauryn, and my mat turned out amazing. Thank you!

I am blown away by the quality of these hand painted mats. They are non-slip and just beautiful. I took them out to a festival and everyone complimented me on how great the mat was!!!

Lauryn is so talented and created a special Yoga mat for me. It is beautiful and I am going to enjoy each and every yoga practice on my beautiful hawk yoga mat. Lauryn is also a good communicator and the process was seamless. .

Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful gifts I’ve ever received! Through this process I’ve come to know Lauren as a brilliant artist, a sensitive listener, a terrific collaborator, and a deeply loving person. I had an incredibly specific vision, despite not being able to see or articulate it. On impulse, I purchased a custom mat and sent a vulnerable, and largely incoherent, rambling email describing what I was trying to capture. Lauren heard what I could not vocalize. Over several weeks, Lauren emailed multiple sketches and color mock ups, intelligently and coherently incorporated my feedback, and ultimately painted a masterpiece that captured my forty-year journey through toxic masculinity and deep surrender. The result was a soaring expression of the Divine Masculine in worship of the Divine Feminine. Every time I step on my mat I experience sincere self-love, renewed courage and a profound sense of gratitude. “Our world is an eloquent expression of our belief” and my world is a more authentic expression of my tenderness thanks to Lauren’s generous spirit. Please, please, please treat yourself… All my love!

I absolutely love my new cork yoga mat! It makes me so happy! I used it today for the first time and it was great for my hot yoga class. Also, got some lovely compliments. I am already thinking about which design I would like for the future. It gives me serenity! Lauryn was so easy and accommodating to work with. I highly recommend buying one of her works of art.

My Day Dreamer yoga mat is absolutely beautiful!!! I recommend it to all yoga practitioners!!! Thank you ilaStrate!!! Babette's Aesthetic Body
