How to choose a eco yoga mat


"I want my yoga mat that is different from others" 


Have you ever thought about it?  If your answer is "Yes" Why don't you try a Eco Yoga Mat?

I used to use a towel as a yoga mat substitute but as my passion for yoga has raised I wanted to have my own yoga mat, like everybody else.

Traditional mats, such as the sticky mats are great surface for yoga practice. However, these mats are made from PVC's (polyvinyl chlorides) that release dioxins and other chemicals during manufacturing. Those toxic additives migrate into their surroundings in the form of gas and small particles, which might effect your health. Also, those traditional mat and other products are made with PVC are biodegradable or recyclable.

If you want to go green and become more eco-friendly person, a Eco Yoga Mat is a right yoga mat for you!

These are totally PVC free and the rubber offers an ultra slip-resistant surface.
