United StatesLove my yoga rug! It feels so good practicing on a rug that feels pure, is powered by plants, and won’t harm me. I’ve waited years to find the right mat, I’ve definitely found it now!
United Statesamazing!! I love it. The grips are great. I feel like I will have this forever
United Statesamazing! i love this rug and the way it feels - really elevates my practice and looks beautiful on the floor! getting another for my husband now!
United StatesI felt good about buying this mat. I am a yoga instructor and use it for all of my classes that I teach, and it comes in very handy when teaching hot yoga. For me it was worth the price knowing it was sustainable, hand made, fair wage, all the good stuff. And I use it so much already. It can be a little slippy but the grooves help so much and I have sweaty hands when I practice. On top of all that, it is beautiful and I love to support a women owned business.

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.
- 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.
