Natural Cotton Yoga Mat
Eco Friendly Yoga Mat For Your Yoga Workouts
Yoga has long been known as a relaxing exercise, not to mention a proven method to stay healthy and fit. When practicing yoga, it can be much more effective with a good yoga mat. Yoga exercise mats ensure that yoga is practiced in a more comfortable focused and unconstrained manner. Unfortunately, there are numerous health risks associated with the use of PVC in yoga mats, choosing to use a natural yoga mat can help incorporate protection to the environment as well as with the yogis’ health and passion for yoga.
If you are looking for a mat that comes from a renewable source, consider using a natural rubber one. These mats are said to be eco-friendly because they are made from a rubber tree and are biodegradable. These natural rubber mats that are made from this are a great solution because they can be trashed and will break down when you no longer want them. These mats however, do contain natural latex, which is an allergy for some, so watch for this. If you are the type to break out, finding a synthetic version can solve the problem. These are a little pricy, but if you are going to be using yours over and over, it may be worth the price.
If you are looking for a plant fiber mat, there are several to choose from. Some plant fiber mats are made from jute, hemp, or cotton. Made from plants, these mats, like the ones made from rubber, are biodegradable. Some of these are even certified organic for the environmentally conscious consumer.
Another great choice for an eco-friendly mat is one made from alternative plastics. These mats are made to be environmentally conscious, however; they aren’t made from natural sources. Perhaps two of the most popularly used plastics to make mats that are eco-friendly are “PER,” or polymer environmental resin, and “TPE,” thermoplastic elastomers, both of which are synthetic. Neither of these are made with toxic substances like the ones made with PVC.
With all of the importance that is being put on the protection of our environment, more and more people are now turning towards more eco-friendly alternatives. And for many yogis, an eco-friendly yoga mat is an absolute essential. Yet, there are still several things to consider when looking for a more eco-friendly yoga mat. If you do not wish to pay for a lot of cash, consider mats produced from alternative plastics. But, if you are willing to invest in naturally produced mats to maximize eco-friendliness significance both for the sake of the environment and yoga practice, switching to yoga mats made using sustainable resources, such as natural rubber, cotton, jute, or hemp should be a priority choice. These mats are generally pricier than the regular synthetic mats, but they are worth the price to provide the most comfort and support while you breathe deep and do your poses.
