My Favorite Yoga Mat

Like a good pair of running shoes, a good yoga mat can make all the difference in your practice.  Over the years, I’ve tried many yoga mats and finally found one that suited all of my needs.  I needed a mat that provided excellent grip during the sweatier vinyasa practices and one that had enough support and cushioning for the poses that required you to be on your knees for an extended period of time.  I discovered Jade Yoga mat at a workshop.  During workshops, they often ask you to buddy up with someone next to you to practice a certain pose or adjustments, and I stepped on to someone’s mat that provided me with the perfect grip and was very comfortable.  I found out what the brand was and purchased one on-line the very next day.  I now sell these mats at Living Yoga not only because I like them so much, but because I feel good about supporting a company that plants a tree for every yoga mat purchased.  The mats are also environmentally friendly, made from natural rubber and no PVC, which can harm the ozone.  Also, the mats are made with US environmental labor and consumer safety laws.   Check out this link to their website http://www.jadeyoga.com/store/pages.php?pageid=5 and scroll down to view 25 ways to recycle your yoga mat.
