More Than Just a Mat: The Magic of Big Raven Yoga

Yoga isn’t just about movement—it’s a journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation. And just like your practice, your mat should feel like an extension of you—supporting, inspiring, and grounding you every time you step onto it.

At Big Raven Yoga, we believe a yoga mat should do more than just keep you from slipping. It should make you feel connected, supported, and inspired—whether you’re flowing through your morning sun salutations, leading a class at your studio, or carving out time for stillness in a busy day.

That’s why we create extraordinary mats that go beyond the ordinary. Whether you want a mat personalized just for you, a custom design for your yoga studio or event, or the chance to bring your own artwork to life, we’re here to help you create something truly special.

What Makes a Big Raven Mat Different?

A Mat That Feels as Good as It Looks

When it comes to yoga mats, thickness and weight matter. Our mats are 5.5mm thick and weigh nearly 7 pounds, offering an incredible level of cushion and support—especially under your wrists, knees, hips, and feet. Whether you’re holding a deep lunge or sinking into a restorative pose, you’ll feel the difference of a mat designed with your comfort in mind.

Grip + Stability You Can Trust

No one wants to slip mid-pose. Our mats are built with exceptional traction, blending natural materials like vegan suede and recycled rubber to keep you steady in every flow, from Vinyasa to Yin. No matter how dynamic or sweaty your practice gets, your mat stays put—so you can focus on your movement, not your footing.

Made with Care—Right Here at Big Raven Farm

At Big Raven Yoga, we do everything in-house. We don’t outsource production or ship orders off to a third party. Every single mat is printed with care and precision in our print shop at Big Raven Farm in Spring Grove, Minnesota.

Why does this matter? Because when you order from us, you’re not just another transaction in a big factory queue. We handle your mat every step of the way—ensuring that your design, colors, and details are just right before they leave our farm.

From printing to packaging, everything happens right here at our farm. That means:
✅ Quality control at every step—your mat is handled with care, not mass-produced
✅ Personal attention to your order—we make sure your custom details are perfect
✅ Supporting a small business that values craftsmanship, creativity, and connection

When you unroll your Big Raven Yoga mat for the first time, know that it was made with love and intention—just for you.

Personalization That Makes It Yours

Yoga is personal, and your mat should be too. That’s why we offer:
Custom branding for yoga studios, retreats, and events
✅ Personalized mats with names, quotes, or mantras

The ability to print your own artwork—because your mat should be as unique as your practice

In fact, Joleen has a custom mat with her intentions for the year hidden among the flowers in the design. You can do that too—just reach out to us to learn how!

Supporting Artists, Supporting You

At Big Raven Yoga, we believe in connection—not just to your practice but to the artists who bring beauty into the world. That’s why we proudly support our guest artists, who receive a commission every time one of their designs is sold. When you choose a mat from our collection, you’re not just picking a design—you’re supporting a real artist and their creative journey.

Easy to Clean, Built to Last

Your mat is designed for daily use, and keeping it fresh is easy:
🧼 Rinse it in the shower and hang it to dry
☀️ Let it sit in the sun for a few minutes for a refresh
🚫 Don’t roll it up while it’s damp! Unrolling your mat to dry properly helps prevent odors and keeps it in great shape

Eco-Friendly & Made to Last

We care about the planet as much as we care about your practice. Our mats are made from sustainable materials like recycled rubber and water based ink, so you can feel good knowing your mat is as kind to the earth as it is to your body.

More Than a Mat—A Reflection of You

At Big Raven Yoga, we know that your yoga mat is more than just a surface—it’s where you show up for yourself, day after day. It’s where you set intentions, find clarity, and create space for movement and stillness.

If you’re looking for a custom mat for yourself, your studio, or an event, we’d love to help bring your vision to life. We also offer wholesale programs for yoga studios and bulk orders.
