Yoga Mats
A friend of mine e-mailed the Grstmill link regarding the yoga mats and at first I was at a complete loss. Being a full time yoga teacher and one who considers themself environmentally aware I was so bummed that when it came to environmentally friendly mats I was at a loss. Then, this past week the Sports Club/LA in Boston where I teach replaced all the yoga mats with lululemon mats. They are made out of an environmentally green material called TPE (thermal plastic elastoner). They contain no latex, no PVC, no rubber or toxic chemicals during production. According to lululemon it breaks down in landfills due to its cellular composition. I've only used them for a week but it's a sturdy composition with subtle alignment lines which always helps. Like all new mats they are a little slippery but that will change with a little use. I like them!On Umbra on toxic yoga mats posted 1 year, 7 months ago 19 Responses
