"A Yoga Mat Like No Other - Experience The Second Generation Of Roots"
Experience the second generation of Roots, our non-slip cork yoga mat. This is the only mat you'll ever need. Roots is designed to be used on both sides and features a natural, waterproof and antimicrobial cork top, backed by an open-cell, dual-use natural rubber bottom partially sourced from our family rubber farms in Kerala, India. Our second generation has more cushion, weighs less, is more durable and easier to roll and travel with than our first generation.
The mat measures 72 inches x 25 inches and is about 5mm thick.
The no-slip cork surface of roots actually improves as your mat becomes more wet. You'll never have to use a towel during your hot yoga practice again! Our mats are naturally antimicrobial and easy to clean, so don't worry about them getting too funky!
Like our sandals, when you buy a mat, we plant a tree in the developing world through a partnership with Trees for the Future. Each mat is printed with Gurus logo and tag line: Don't Forget Your Roots.

Everything you need to know about our yoga products
well maybe not ever... But our cork yoga mats actually get grippier during an intense sweaty yoga practice. So you'll never have to bring a towel again to your yoga practice.
Good thing about cork is that it's naturally anti-bacterial and anti-microbial.
After a intense yoga session you should leave your yoga mat out to air dry.
Hose down both sides with water. Feel free to use a few drops of mild soap or a mat cleaner. If using a mat cleaner test on part of the mat. Mat cleaners with essential oils may stain your mat, but should not affect the surface performance. If you don't need to clean your entire mat just spot clean it.
Let your mat dry out completely. You can drape it over a chair or lay it flat on the floor.
Our yoga mats may be in a folded position for a few months so it may take a week or two for them to return to their natural flat state.
Best thing to do is to lay them out flat for a new days under a matress or with some weight on top and they will return to their natural flat form :)
Our mats are super easy to clean! After a sweaty practice you can just dab them off and let them dry. If you want to spray them down with water or a mat cleaner that is perfect too. Just let them dry out completely before rolling them cork side out for storage!

The story behind gurus

Made with sustainably sourced rubbers from our family farms and every pair crafted with love. Gurus are a way for us to share our culture with you" - Our Founder Prem Thomas harvesting rubber

Gurus are the best they're comfortable. They last for very, very, very long time. I love them. I wear them every chance I get.
I love love love love my gurus. I've got four different pair. Friends of mine liked them so much cause they're so cute. I ordered them each a pair they last forever. And they're much more comfortable than your regular flippers.
It gave me a blister unfortunately.
Yes, I ordered a nine and I got a five. I don’t know how I got a size 5 when I ordered a nine so they sent me the wrong size They emailed me back saying take a picture of the shoe and then we can exchange it and I haven’t heard nothing back so thank you
I love it! Thank you so much
Strap broke after only a few wears.
They run short in the sizes. I reached out to guru and had a couple of quick responses. They offered to replace my flip flops for a larger size and different color. Then there was a delay in responding. I reached out again and now I have my replacement and a return label for return of
They are so cute and comfortable!!! I get tons of compliments every time I wear them. I love things that are a little different and these are it!!!! Highly recommend❤️
This is my 4th pair. I've wanted a black pair since I bought the dark green ones years ago. I was sooo excited to see they had a black pair available 🖤 They arrived very quickly 😁
The sizing is not right - I wear a 7 and they are too small
I want to exchange for the right size. Contact me!!!!!!!!
I have sent 2 emails with no response…….they don’t work for me! I need a refund!
Super comfy!
My feet are too narrow for him and I can’t seem to get them adjusted to where they don’t fall off. Do you have any suggestions? I would appreciate it.
Amazing discovery, no pressure on my bunion.My instep pain free, I can wear it all day long.One of the best decisions i've made, thank you guru
I am impressed by these. They are cute and comfortable and I’m getting lots of compliments on them.
Super comfortable and very cute
I received my order 10/17/25. The size is correct and I like the sandals in general. I wore them for the day after receiving them. I walked around a grocery store and liked the performance and fit. That evening I noticed that the shoes had created blisters on the front toes next to the big toe. I have allowed these blisters to heal since then. I put on the sandals again today. The area is still a bit tender but I am optimistic about healing fully and probably having a bit of a callous which will eventually heal back to normal. I look forward to wearing these in warmer weather. I am in Santa Fe, and winter is coming. I would like to get another pair of these in black ~ same size W 10/11. I would appreciate a 25% discount on a second pair. I have already invited three woman friends to your website. (I am a male). Please contact me about the second pair. All of my information remains the same. PS I like the way the shoes reveal and compliment my feet tattoos. J.Jackson
Love the look, I find them very comfy and convenient. I will definitely buy another pair in a different color.
These are so cute and comfortable. They are made of good quality and easy to slip on. I love them. I brought two pair and going to purchase another. I am very happy with my purchase.
Cute shoe. A little harder to put on than a regular flip flop, because the strap has to be pulled across your instep but that’s needed so that the shoe won’t slip off. I will buy another pair in a different color.
Beautiful and comfortable. I will now buy the green or yellow. Very happy with my purchase.
Admittedly they felt slightly uncomfortable at first, but once I became accustomed to the unique strap , I have to say I love my gurus!
So comfy
Guru’s are wonderful! They really work well with my feet
Love them
Love it! It’s more grippy than my lulu mats and this needed no break in time. I noticed the sweat stays more on the surface of the mat vs soaking in like my other mats. I like this because it feels more hygienic. I can wipe away the moisture at the end of the class and the mat isn’t water logged / needing to lay out for hours to dry off. Big fan! Also love the natural look and feel of cork.
Love the beautiful and comfort sandals
The Vine Sling Yoga Strap is the perfect addition for their mat. The mat itself is an amazing because it's bigger/ larger than most you'll find on Amazon, which is a huge advantage for those needing extra space during their practice. The cork and rubber composition provides a unique and excellent grip. 100% recommend both the mat and the strap for carrying it. A great overall experience!
I saw your flip flops on FB and was immediately interested in the design and style. The only problem I encountered was I that I ordered them while I was out of town. I would have loved to wear them on the beach! I have attached a photo of how cool they make my feet look😊 Thank you❣️ M K Hunter Spokane Valley, WA
These look and feel awesome, plush on the feet, non-slip, no stink, easy on the conscience. Very pleased
Comfortable, well made, stays on your feet, love the colors. I included the green pair, I wore them while touring arch support is fabulous. Thanks Gurus ⚘
Stem is too tall. They make me trip and fall.
The stem between the toes is too tall for my feet. They make me stumble and fall.
My tiny bathroom has been my make-shift hot yoga studio since 2020 and I just recently realized the importance of switching to a more healthy, environmentally friendly mat. I love the feel of the cork under my feet and there's even a bit of bounce to it. Additionally, the instructions suggest using the rubber side while warming up, but it's not necessary; I don't slip at all, even when I'm just warming up. The only thing is, I wish it were a little narrower so it would fit my towel rack after practicing, but I'm not complaining.
They're so stinking cute! I love them. I ordered a brown and immediately wanted a different color. I emailed the merchant. I wanted a lighter color. Anything but white. I wasn't sure if I had emailed before they shipped out but they came through. Thank you
BEST YOGA MAT EVER!!!! I cannot believe how amazing this mat is. I have every other brand of mat including Lulu, Manduka, Lifeform, etc, but none lives up to the promise of being NO SLIP, NO TOWEL, EASY TO CLEAN, QUICK TO DRY, wonderful cushion, etc. The Roots Guru mat actually gets MORE GRIP the MORE YOU SWEAT?!! I sweat like a guy with puddles of sweat, as I practice HOT POWER VINYASA and do tons of inversions, arm balances and power poses. It gets better the more I sweat with ZERO need for towel! Try it!!! I will never use another one!!!
Ordered according to my size 10 women, ordered size ML 10/11, got them delivered fast, was excited to get them, tried them on and they weren’t fitting according to my size, they were a bit too small. I immediately contacted customer service they were quick to respond as I wanted to return and exchange for next size up. They asked me to send a photo (as you see attached) with a photo of the bottom of the sandal so they could help me exchange for larger size. I did all I was instructed to do and never heard a word back. Now I’m stuck with a pair of sandals that I can’t fit.
