The first thing I noticed using this mat is that it was tough. I have been enjoying learning to use my strength to hold poses and not on the stickiness of the mat. I do spray it down when I need to and that helps but I am loving working on my strength. Plus the fabric is beautiful, I love practicing on natural, lovely fibers. It has brought me joy. Thank you! I use it every day!
United StatesI am absolutely in love with my rainbow Chakra Energy yoga mat. It is soooo soft and comfortable, and makes me feel even more inspired to practice. Plus it brightens up the whole space, and is clearly made with so much love!
United StatesThere was something almost magical about opening the box. The scent, the special Mat bag, the extra touch of the Soap Nuts. They care. About each element of what makes this mat your Life Mat. That's how I'm looking at it. This mat will go everywhere with me. The vibrant colors will remind me of WHY I practice, the grip rows remind me of WHERE I am in space, the scent of the herbs so lovingly chosen to dye my mat with will help me stay PRESENT in my practice and keep me GROUNDED. Its an investment. But I've been coming to see more and more that good investments pay off. And this was a GREAT investment. Namaste, OkoLiving. And thank you.
United StatesI have been using a Manduka mat for 10 years since I started practicing. It’s in great shape but is difficult to travel with especially when I want to practice outdoors or while traveling. This mat feels amazing both outdoors and indoors and I feel so much closer to the earth when I practice outdoors. I also feel my muscles, especially my core, tighten and strengthen more in asanas than when I’m using my manduka mat. It is very light yet comfortable And its easy to fold and roll. I have not yet washed it but it seems very durable thus far. Would definitely recommend!

"Changed my practice in mind, body, and soul for the better"

Best Mat Ever.
"When I saw there was a rainbow chakra mat I absolutely had to take the plunge. I don't regret it even a little bit. I love the grip that I have on it. Prior to this I had a cork mat which I also loved however it was much more heavy. This mat has the same great level of grip but it's light and beautiful. If you practice yoga with any kind of regularity you will not regret splurging on this mat."
- Candice E.
Calming & Strengthening.
“There is something about it that is actually calming, & it doesn’t smell like a yoga mat, it helps with my asanas by allowing me to actually strengthen my muscles vs. “stick to a mat”. Totally would recommend.”

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 yard is then handloomed by skilled Indian artisans.
- Natural tree rubber (latex) is the painted onto the bottom for grip.
- Lastly, as a part of their tradition mantras are played around the mats to purify their energy.
- There are zero chemicals and no electricity is needed to make these mats.
