Most Yoga cannot be done well without a good Yoga mat, and Sticky
Yoga mats, have - for many years been the favourite choice amongst Yoga teachers and students looking for a comfortable, high performance work surface at an affordable price.
The use of toxic additives in Sticky Yoga mats significantly affects their ecological impact, and so you should specifically avoid mats of the Sticky variety that have not been tested against harmful chemicals.
Certain chemicals are a potential hazard and, therefore choose only materials that have no harmful compounds.
Remember that some mats, (eg. from general health or fitness stores) may also be less than satisfactory to use - because of their awkward dimensions, or similar reasons.
We stopped promoting, mass produced standard size and thickness Sticky Yoga mats in June 2007 because we believe that the high volume of unmanageable waste produced is not necessary now that there are many more alternatives available.
We believe the time has now come for Yoga practitioners to move away from the mass produced vinyl mats and switch to the benefits provided by the latest materials.
We still offer a good range of Yoga mats - and all have different qualities.
