The Jade Yoga Mat
Ive gone through several yoga mats in my quest to find the perfect one. Im sure youve probably experienced the same thing. Its hard to find one that seems to grip everything from the floor, to your hands, and to your feet, as well as having the right about of cushion. Some people look for even more than that as they try to find ones without any PVC, EVA, or any other petroleum and artificial products.
For those who are looking for a more natural or a mat that doesnt have possibly dangerous or harmful chemicals in it, you might want to look into Jade Yoga. They produce great yoga mats that are made with natural rubber from rubber trees. These great mats are made using only those things that are approved by the FDA. You probably wont be eating off of your mat but you will be using it a lot and have a lot of contact with it, and isnt it nice to know that you are completely safe with the mat youve chosen?
In addition to using only environmentally friendly components, all Jade mats are manufactured in the United States, in compliance with all US environmental, labor, and consumer safety laws. That means their products are not only eco-friendly but fairly and ethically produced. Plus, for every mat sold, Jade plants a tree. So not only are you choosing a product that has minimal environmental impact, you are buying it from a manufacturer who is helping to improve and beautify the earth and its communities.
While the exclusive use of natural rubber is an environmentally friendly decision, it does have some drawbacks. When new, the mats have a strong rubber smell, almost like new tires, and while some people find the smell overwhelming, others hardly notice it. If you are bothered by the smell, Jade recommends airing out your mat unrolled for several days, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not be discouraged by the smell; it fades over time. Remember, it smells like rubber because it is made of, well, rubber. Natural rubber mats are also a bit heavier than their synthetic counterparts, making them a bit less convenient to take to and from the studio, but most users agree it is worth the slight inconvenience.
Jade line has different options to choose from. My personal favorite would have to be the Harmony Professional Mat. This is about 3/16- inch thick and guarantees the perfect grip, cushion and traction that youll need as you work hard on perfecting yoga. I love how you can choose this from many different lengths as well as different colors.
