Art you can
practice on.
Every mat begins as one of my paintings. Vegan suede, made to order, and non-slip — even when you glisten. The rest of this site lives in the dark of the studio. This room is where the light comes in.
Take one with me.

Every mat is a walk through a painting.
The full painting is 24×36. The mat is a 24×68 walk through it — slide the window and watch the cut change.
“I started creating yoga mats because I found my first one plain and uninspiring. Adding artwork transformed not just the mats — but my entire practice. — Aaron Plaat
It started with a mat that said nothing. Sixty-eight inches of beige, staring back every morning. So I did what I always do with a blank surface — I painted it.
The first time I practiced on my own work, the whole ritual changed. The mat stopped being equipment and became a place. Now every design starts as a full painting in the studio, and each mat is printed to order — nobody else's morning looks like yours.
What changes when the floor is alive.
A focal point that earns your gaze
Yoga gives you a fixed point to steady the eyes. A painting gives you one worth coming back to — a ribbon of color to follow when the pose gets loud.
Unrolling is the beginning
The practice starts before the first pose. Unrolling a piece of art tells your body this hour is different from the rest of the day.
The room changes
One object can shift a whole space. Lay color and motion on the floor and the practice room stops being a corner of the living room.
