Hiya! So, you've got the Lululemon pants and tank, you've got the sweat absorbing towel and the green reusable water bottle/thermos that's totally recyclable and safe for the environment, and you're using a PVC MAT?!?! Um, did you know that those mats are NOT recyclable, NOT made from natural materials and definitely NOT cool for the environment? I mean, sure, those mats are cheap, like some going for $10 a pop but they are like totally the equivalent of doing yoga on a styrofoam to go container. They might be affordable but they start to really stink after a year and if you clean them consistently they start to get all shredded.
But don't fret kiddies! There are alternative choices in yoga mats that are better for your practice and the environment.
A few are Rubber Mats, Bamboo mats and my personal favorite: Cork Mats! Here's a site for one that I think is the bees knees: www.korqmats.com
Korq mats is great in so many ways, it's employees are disabled people who want to rejoin the workforce, the cork is harvested from the bark of cork oak trees and is 100% recyclable and renewable material.
Plus, it's so comfortable, you can actually fall asleep on it. I have plenty of times.
So before you buy that PVC plastic mat, check out some of your alternatives, you'll be so glad you did!
