About Natura Dura

We started in Calgary with a simple question: what does yoga feel like when your body is changing? After 40, balance asks for a steadier base; evenings can run warm; energy goes to the things that matter most. We design for that reality—quietly, with honest materials and less fuss.

Our “second act” point of view

Your practice isn’t starting over; it’s evolving. Comfort, for us, is grounded and stable, not spongy. Routines work best when they’re short enough to actually happen. And gear should earn its spot by feeling good from the first touch.

What we make (briefly)

  • Cork yoga mat (~5 mm): cool-touch cork on top, natural-rubber base below—steady underfoot, low-odour, easy-clean.
  • Dense cork block: beveled edges and a firm feel that stays put when you lean into it.
  • Cotton mat carry strap: soft, adjustable cotton for sling-and-go; gentle on shoulders.

We pair them with a simple 10-minute evening flow so your wind-down doesn’t depend on motivation (meet the kit when you’re ready—no rush). The kit includes the mat, block, cotton strap, and the 10-minute flow.

Material honesty

We choose cork because its texture grips better as you warm. We keep the mat around 5 mm because a firmer base supports balance without the bounce. Care is simple: wipe with water + a little vinegar, air-dry flat. No mystery coatings.

Heat-wise grip

Cork’s texture naturally grips more as you warm for steadier holds.

Grounded stability

A firm ~5mm base supports balance—without the bounce.

Dense cork block

Beveled edges and solid feel that stays put under load.

Easy-care, low-odour

Wipe with water + a little vinegar. Air-dry flat.

What we don’t promise

We don’t offer cures or quick fixes. Our gear is designed to support comfort and stability; it’s not a medical device. We focus on feel, grip, and routines that fit real evenings.

Why evenings

Decision fatigue is real. The Evening Calm Kit keeps it simple: unroll, follow a 10-minute printable flow, and let the materials do half the work—cool touch, steady base, calmer pace.

Community, not perfection

We learn from women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who share what’s working—modified poses, cooler rooms, earlier lights-out. If you have a small win, we’d love to hear it.
