You come to the yoga mat to feel… As you lay in savasana (corpse pose) and surrender into mother earth the last thing you would think to be worried about the crazy amounts of chemical you are coming into contact with your mat (things like toxic foaming agents, PVC and plasticizers).

For me the yoga mat is a sacred space where I am able to appreciate my body, go within and deepen the breath, quieten the mind and be at peace with who I am. At the same time deepening my connection to the earth so when I invest in a yoga mat I want it to be of high vibration.

Here are some Australian companies creating Yoga Mat’s with natural materials:
