Yoga’s all about health, so why not invest in an eco friendly yoga mat that will benefit both you and mother nature?
We’ve rounded up 5 eco friendly yoga mats that will help you give back during your practice.
Barefoot Yoga’s Original Eco Yoga Mat
We love anything with the word “barefoot” in the name, so while we were a little biased when learning about this yoga mat, it quickly lived up to its name. Made with an all natural rubber and a vegetable based fiber (Just Fiber), this yoga mat does not use any chemicals or additives. Plus, the vegetable fiber makes for a highly durable and natural surface that emulates the feeling of walking barefoot on the earth… yeah. We’re in love.
The Jade Harmony Yoga Mat
The Jade Yoga mat is the OG of mats. We’re not kidding... The company dates back over 100 years and is still striving today - Which definitely says something about the quality of their products!
The Jade Harmony Mat is made of natural rubber, is PVC free, and has a sticky/absorbent like texture making it perfect for heated yoga classes. $5 from the sale of each mat goes towards ovarian cancer research, early detection, improved treatment and public education of the disease. Oh, and the best part about this company – for every mat sold, Jade Yoga plants a tree. The company has planted over 850,000 trees.
Manduka Eko Lite Mat
Our personal fav, the Maduka PRO Lite Mat is designed to last a lifetime, or two. This mat is manufactured in a way that ensures that only non-toxic emissions are released into the atmosphere. It’s extra sticky grip makes it perfect for anyclass, and it comes with a lifetime warranty.
And if that’s not even to make you fall in love with it, Maduka has also started a mat recycling program. By partnering with the Live On program, Maduka has made it easy to opt in to mat recycling during checkout. They’ll send you the prepaid shipping label so when your new mat arrives all you have to do is send your old one ( any brand). Your old mat is then recycled into materials that are used to improve communities everywhere
Prana E.C.O. Yoga Mat
This mat is the definition of “eco”. The Prana E.C.O. Mat, which stands for “Earth Conscious Offering”, is uses a toxin-free manufacturing process, which is free of PVC, chloride, and latex. Not only is this mat recyclable, but it also has a no-slip grip that won’t let germs from your sweat absorb into the mat.
Bold Yoga Mats
Straight from Boulder, Colorado the Bold Yoga Mats are nontoxic, eco-friendly, latex-,phthalate- and heavy-metal-free. Bold Yoga Mats also offer a renew and recycle program, in which they collect gently used mats from consumers, refurbish them and donate them to jails, detention centers, shelters, and schools.
