I love my yoga workouts. They are challenging and so rewarding. The problem that I first found in doing a lot of yoga was finding the perfect mat. The first one I had slipped around the floor, didnt stay rolled out very well, and had no traction. These are all the essentials, and yet can be so hard to find. Also, most mats you find are mostly artificial or petroleum products. They also are made of EVA and PVC.
For those who are looking for a more natural or a mat that doesnt have possibly dangerous or harmful chemicals in it, you might want to look into Jade Yoga. They produce great yoga mats that are made with natural rubber from rubber trees. These great mats are made using only those things that are approved by the FDA. You probably wont be eating off of your mat but you will be using it a lot and have a lot of contact with it, and isnt it nice to know that you are completely safe with the mat youve chosen?
I always like to know that Im buying from a company that puts my money to good use, or who helps our environment instead of harm it. With Jade Yoga you can rest assured that they use only those things are environmentally friendly. They also plant a tree for every Jade yoga mat that they sell.
Because Jade uses natural rubber, some have commented that the mat can initially smell very strong. If you have notice the smell, dont worry one bit about it. You can easily air it out. Others dont even notice it, or even enjoy it. Other draw back can be that the yoga mat is a little heavier than the regular ones you buy at the store. This could be an inconvenience when you want to bring it to a yoga class, but I love the mat so much that it doesnt bother me at all.
My favorite mat in the Jade line is the Harmony Professional Mat. At 3/16-inch thick, it provides the perfect balance between cushion and traction. It is crafted with open cell natural rubber, guaranteeing optimum grip. Available in 68 and 74-inch lengths and assorted colors, there is a choice for every yogi.
