What are natural rubber yoga mats?
NATURAL RUBBER YOGA MAT
Natural gum is one of the renewable and sustainable materials. Why exactly? It is made from the bark of the rubber or hevea tree. Its strong points, it is biodegradable, recyclable and resistant. It does not leave an ecological footprint when thrown away. A yoga practice in line with respect for the environment and eco-responsible.
That's not all! Natural rubber yoga mats have optimal grip thanks to their special top coating with incredible grips, such as the EkoLite range from Manduka (developed by yoga teachers), the Harmony Jade natural yoga mats, Liform and mixed jute rubber from Eco Yoga . A grip recognized by the entire Yogi community even in cases of extreme perspiration.
Do you practice more dynamic asanas (such as Ashtanga yoga, Vinyasa yoga, Hot yoga or Bikram)? Or postures requiring great precision (especially Iyengar)? Opt for a natural rubber yoga mat , because it has better cushioning in order to offer optimal comfort, but also to avoid injury. No more joint pain!
Please note that this type of mat is not suitable for people with latex allergies. However, some natural yoga mats do not contain rubber. Check the composition carefully before purchasing, in order to limit the risks. Tayronalife advice, for example, prefer natural material in jute or cotton, PVC , but Oeko-Tex certified or even TPE (sold in the store).
The only drawback is that its price is high, but your investment is a one-time purchase, as you will keep your rubber yoga mat for many years or even your entire life. Maintenance can be quite difficult, as dust settles easily. Machine wash your mat cold or at 30°C with a little detergent and without spinning, or with a damp cloth or using our special cleaning spray for natural rubber mats.
Travel yoga mats allow you to practice wherever you go, because they fold easily and are very light: Manduka Eko Superlite mat and Jade travel mat . Perfect for nomadic Yogis!
The Tayronalife store offers you a wide range of natural rubber yoga mats made with rubber or hevea not coming from the Amazon.
