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.

Jade Yoga produces what they claim to be natures best yoga mats. The Jade yoga mat is crafted of natural rubber tapped from rubber trees and contains no heavy metals, ozone depleting substances, PVC, or other synthetic rubber. Natural rubber is tapped, like maple syrup, from rubber trees, making it a sustainable, renewable resource. In fact, Jade prides itself on producing mats using only components approved by the FDA for use for rubber in continuous contact with food. Though I am not sure I would want to eat off my yoga mat after class, knowing there are not dangerous chemicals being absorbed into my body from contact with the rubber is a comforting thought.

Its also interesting to note that all of the manufacturing for Jade is done right here in the United States. They focus on fair and ethical production as well as the environment. Did you know that every yoga mat you buy from Jade they will plant a tree? Jade is truly trying to help the beauty of our community as well as our earth.

Because Jade uses natural rubber, some have commented that the mat can initially smell very strong. If you have notice the smell, dont worry one bit about it. You can easily air it out. Others dont even notice it, or even enjoy it. Other draw back can be that the yoga mat is a little heavier than the regular ones you buy at the store. This could be an inconvenience when you want to bring it to a yoga class, but I love the mat so much that it doesnt bother me at all.

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.
