February 12th, 2010 Comments (2)


Product Description
This new latex-free, eco-friendly yoga mat is made from Jute and PER. This mat’s unique look and feel are created by meshing jute fibers with patented PER plastic that is phthalate-free. Jute is a sustainable resource and its fibers offer the strength of conventional fiberglass mesh. PER is an important innovation in reducing worldwide use of harmful synthetic chemicals. The result is a mat that looks distinctive and lets you feel better about your ecological footprint, yet doesn’t compromise on the grippy, cushiony texture you count on for your best Yoga positions. It’s clearly a smart and naturally beautiful choice for a cleaner and safer environment, and a healthier practice. Comes with an elastic mat strap.
