More and more yogis are turning away from cheap PVC yoga mats towards eco-friendly options. The EcoYoga jute mat is a 100% natural and non-toxic yoga mat from plant-based materials. The base features pure rubber that prevents sliding and sticks to the floor. The top of the EcoYoga mat contains a mix of jute (hessian) fabric and rubber for a non-slip surface with a firm grip. We especially like that the surface feels sticky and cushy despite the natural materials. The tactile texture is smooth and soft without too much roughness. The EcoYoga jute mat has 4mm thickness which gives good support and padding for knees and elbows without compromising firmness and connection with the floor. On the downside, the EcoYoga mat may not be suitable for those with an allergy to latex and emits a strong rubber odour in the beginning.
