United StatesBeautiful
This mat is a very soothing blend of colors and has a nice tacky backside. Knowing everything is natural and non toxic is really making me happy.
United StatesReally nice.
The travel mat is quite thin. I do not own a regular mat, so I cannot compare. Pros: super light and flexible for carrying. A very easy to transport mat. Feels great on the skin. Plenty of stickiness for your hands and feet- then factor in the speed bumps and you have no problems. Gets even sticky with a light misting. This travel mat would be amazing on carpet (thin or thick). Cons: The rubber layer on the bottom is sticky, but it does move around a little. If you are used to dumping into your hands during a down dog, you will end up stretching/moving the mat. The mat has an inch or two of give and stretch. I am learning to use more core strength in my down dog because of this mat. I think it is a good thing in the long run, but I can imagine that some people are not ready for it or the mat might get a little wonky and in the way during a practice like Rocket. I feel the hard floor on my knees flowing from child's pose to swan, and the feeling isn't pleasant. I am 5'8 and have a relatively short down dog stance, my feet and hands touch the inner speed bumps: if you are short and have a close down dog stance you may feel like this wasn't made for your size? I think Oko should add one more rail on top and bottom. Yes, buy it. But, buy the regular mat unless you need serious compatability.

Are yoga rugs slippery?
Not ours! Other yoga rugs can be slippery compared to a sticky mat but ours is the only with grip ribs that help stabilize you. Yoga rugs also get more grippy with sweat unlike plastic mats that slip when wet.

What are the benefits of a yoga rug vs a typical mat.
So many! Here are just a few.
- Builds More Strength
Yoga rugs are the original tool that yoga was developed on and are the perfect grip that allow you to build more balance and strength. Plastic mats were invented in the 80's and are either too sticky or too slippery (when wet). - Wellness Promoting
Our yoga rugs are beyond non-toxic, with 20 Ayurvedic herbs that are healthy for skin, immunity and stress relief. - Eco-Friendly
Unlike most mats that use toxic and non-biodegradable plastic PVC materials, our mats are 100% natural, biodegradable and do not impact the environment.
- Builds More Strength

How is it made?
Our handloomed cotton mats are plant dyed using an ancient method of Ayurvedic herbal dying. It takes a full 15 days to make each one.
- GOTS certified organic cotton is cleaned, naturally lightened and hand-spun into yarn.
- The yarn is then naturally dyed with 20 different medicinal grade herbs using an ancient Ayurvedic method that preserves the potency of the plants.
- The dyed yarn is then handloomed by skilled Indian artisans.
- Natural tree rubber (latex) is then painted onto the bottom for grip.
- There are zero chemicals and no electricity is needed to make these mats.
- Fair wages and safe working conditions are ensured to our artisan partners. Most workers are women and are able to work from home together with their families.
We feel blessed to offer you the rich traditions and care that went into this rug and hope it supports your wellness values as a yogi and steward of the earth.
