Review example:
I’ve been practicing yoga off and on for a number of years. Once I heard about the harmful characteristics of PVC–both in production and use (google it), I started looking into alternative materials for yoga mats.
I first bought a rubber mat. It initially had a strong odor, and started falling apart very quickly; within a 6 months, it was unusable, and before that it left little crumbs after every class. It was less slippery than the PVC mats, but it didn’t seem all that cost-efficient, given the fact that it lasted such a short period of time.
This mat (Hugger Mugger Earth Elements Eco Exercise/Yoga Mat 5mm 72-Inch, Violet/Lavender) is honestly the best I have ever used. Like rubber, the mat is eco friendly and not nearly as slippery as a pvc mat when I sweat. Unlike the rubber mat, however, this one did not have a funky smell, and looks just about as new as it did when I bought it. For the experienced yogi, or at least one who doesn’t have a particularly sensitive spine, the mat is certainly thick enough. The extra length is great for those of us…
