Eco Yoga Mat, by EcoYoga
Plastic free, sustainable Eco Yoga Mats combine 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.
The Eco Yoga Mats have a natural rubber blend underside to grip the floor and fabric/rubber mix on top. The specially selected hessian / jute fabric gives a durable, tactile and pleasantly natural surface to work on whilst providing that grip so sought after.
Made with 100% natural rubber and natural jute fibre the Eco Yoga Mats are the first of their kind. The compound used is environmentally neutral. The raw rubber is currently from the international market. The jute is plant based and supplied by a Scottish company who have long term family relations with the producers in Bangladesh and India. The mats themselves are made in the UK.

About ecoYoga
Manufactured in the UK since 2003. Inspired by a dearth in the global market for a functional, natural, mindful product the intention is to serve and enhance your yoga practice. The ecoYoga jute mats unique design remains consistent and committed.
When we began our research in 2000 we discovered almost all Yoga mats currently on sale around the world were made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride: commonly known as "vinyl"). Up until the 1930s this plastic was considered a useless toxic by-product of the oil industry. As chemists explored the applications of PVC the versatility, newness and economic gains at that time were far more appealing than any environmental consideration. The benefits of vinyl seemed endless during the 20th century. Health and environmental drawbacks soon came to light and the controversial PVC debate began.
