Cotton yoga mat
Loved the feeling of lying on the mat. At first my feet slipped and it was hard to hold certain poses. As you predicted after about a month I got the hang of it and engaged my core more.
United Statesgrateful completely
with just getting back into my yoga practice i had an eco mat of ten years and was wanting something of cotton, yes a yoga rug! I found this one and purchased a few days later. best yoga mat i’ve ever experienced. every asana feels connected and when you bring this mat outside your practice becomes a taste of bliss. so grateful to be apart of this community and so excited to see my practice grow with this yoga mat.
United StatesAn honest review from 30-year clumsy yogi
I needed a new yoga mat and was in search of something sustainable so even though the rug is pricey, I decided to try it. Cons (sort of): I have to protect my knees and wrists in yoga so I knew before I bought it I’d have to find a way to compensate for the lack of padding in some poses. The ridges actually cause your fingers to cup a tiny bit in poses like down dog, which is perfect for protecting wrists. I just make a fold and double it if I’m going to be kneeling for a bit. No big deal. The other con is my rug shed lint at first so I washed it and air tumbled it. That worked. Pros: After my first practice I was still on the fence so my husband took it to class and was sold immediately. The next day I was going to use my sticky mat since he claimed the rug, but found I was suddenly averse to the plastic feel. It was a cold day and the rug is so incredibly soft and warm, it’s really comforting and nice to touch. I found balancing poses were easier and more successful. The ridges are great for being aware of alignment. Like practicing on grid paper. Also everyone in class gathered around and wanted to touch and pet it, it really is that beautiful. So my plastic mat days are over, I ordered a second one for me. Out of the box I would have given it three stars, but it’s grown on me so much I became a five-star. I recommend watching the video they send, give it a gentle wash and air tumble right away, and keep a open mind because it is something to get used to the first few practices. It’s more expensive - but sustainable, handmade things are and it’s how we all need to shift to make a change in the world.
United StatesThese mats are everything!
Ok, I originally thought “how good can an expensive yoga mat really be?” Wow, I judged too early. This is by far the best yoga purchase I’ve made. The mat is ULTRA soft, which is already a plus. Yoga is such an intimate and beautiful exercise that you want you’re environment to feel comfy and cozy. As far as it being a rug vs. rubber, it’s a non-issue. The ridges on the mat provide ample grip and it’s muuuch easier on your hands and feet. And the coloorrrssss. My wife and I both have one, (she has the rose and I have the indigo). The colors are really well put together and feel very natural. I can’t recommend these enough. I hope it’s the next mat everyone buys. Also take this from a guy that is not a yoga professional, I just appreciate details, and construction. Do yourself a favor, PUT ONE IN YOUR CART.

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.

-
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.
- 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.
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.
