My Eco Yoga Mat – I am an avid yogi I love this yoga mat because it is PVC free, it’s grippy, absorbs sweat and is biodegradable! What most Yogis don’t realize is that the PVC in conventional mats is a highly toxic petroleum by-product that can off gas with every movement or transition you make. The ecoYoga mat is the only ecologically friendly sticky mat that contains only natural ingredients of jute (a plant), and natural rubber, which is tapped from trees like maple syrup. This natural fiber yoga mat does not contain any synthetic chemicals. Its pure rubber underside grips the floor and jute fabric/rubber mix on top allows you to stay connected with the Earth. Its extremely grippy mesh top absorbs sweat giving you better traction than many mats. This product is biodegradable and can be composted in a hot compost pile. Contains latex.
