✨  Eco Yoga Mats, by ecoYoga - £44 ✨

A pure rubber underside to grip the floor and fabric/rubber mix on top. The hessian / jute fabric gives a durable, tactile and pleasantly natural surface to work on whilst providing that grip so sought after. The Eco Yoga Mat combines a cloth surface and sticky mat in one and is ideal for everyone practising yoga - from complete beginners to seasoned yogis. The 4mm thickness gives enough support and cushioning whilst maintaining a firmness for good practice.
