In addition to a color and pattern that suits your style, your yoga mat needs to keep your posture stable; it needs to be storable and portable, yet comfortable and comfortable. You may also want your mat to be an eco-friendly yoga mat. These aspects of your cushion's personality are all influenced by how the cushion is made: how thick it is, what it's made of, and the texture of its surface.

Eco-friendly yoga mats are usually made from natural or recycled rubber. These yoga mats may also include natural materials such as jute or organic cotton.
Basic Buying Guide: If being eco-friendly is important to you, avoid yoga mats made of PVC (traditional sticky mats), which won't break down in landfills and are difficult and expensive to recycle. Rubber, jute, and cotton yoga mats, while available in a variety of thicknesses, tend to be thicker and smoother than PVC mats. You can get an eco-friendly yoga mat that's thick enough to meet your needs for comfort and portability, with textures that prevent slipping (like a raised geometric pattern).
