The Work In Revolution: Transforming Plain Mats into Colorful, Science-Backed Rituals
When Andrea, a yoga instructor and wellness seeker rooted in tradition, and Mauricio, a psychologist passionate about mindfulness and movement, moved from Peru to South Florida, they brought more than just luggage—they brought a vision. A desire to blend heritage, healing, and purpose. Out of that vision, Work In was born: a mat brand that doesn’t just support your practice—it transforms it.
The name says it all. In a world that tells us to work out, they created a tool that invites you to work in. A moment of pause. A reconnection with self. A ritual inspired by ancient Peruvian wisdom and grounded in modern science.
Designs That Mean Something
Every Work In mat tells a story. Inspired by Peru’s rich cultural heritage—its colors, symbols, and ancestral energy—these mats aren’t just beautiful. They’re intentional. They hold space for your practice like a visual altar.
Take the Ayahuasca Mat, for example. Its design is inspired by wisdom traditions from Peru’s rainforest, where nature, spirit, and healing are deeply interconnected.
The Pacha Mat honors Pachamama (Mother Earth), grounding you in the elements each time your hands or feet touch down.
These aren’t just aesthetic choices. They’re visual affirmations that speak to the subconscious, helping you drop in deeper—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
The Science of Stillness
Work In mats are crafted not only for beauty but for how they make you feel.
Polyurethane Mats: Built for all types of movement, these mats offer unmatched grip, especially in sweaty flows like hot yoga or Pilates. PU’s responsive surface increases traction with moisture. Scientific research shows that this kind of physical stability boosts proprioception, your body’s sense of balance and spatial awareness.
Suede Mats: Softer and ideal for slower, restorative practices. The microfiber surface combined with natural rubber creates a grounding experience, especially when lightly dampened. Studies show that soft textures can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, encouraging calm and introspection during practice.
Eco-Conscious Materials: All mats use a natural rubber base and are printed with water-based, non-toxic ink. They’re PVC-free, latex-free and made to last, good for your health and better for the planet.
Mindful Design & Brain Science: Symmetry and symbolism in our visuals activate the brain’s default mode network, linked to creativity, introspection and emotional balance. In short, your brain responds to beauty with stillness.
More Than a Workout. A Work In.
At its core, Work In is a call to turn inward. To feel. To breathe. To remember what really matters. Every time you step on one of the mats, you’re stepping into a story of culture, science, and self-awareness. You’re not just moving — you’re coming home.
“We believe that movement—especially the kind that invites you inward—is too sacred to be practiced on something that doesn’t reflect that. Our mats carry the wisdom of our culture so you can reconnect with yourself—and that’s the essence behind every mindful flow.”
