Discover the best yoga mats that are non-toxic for a better practice and a cleaner planet.

Do you remember the chemical smell that comes from a new mat when it is first opened? This can’t be healthy for your deep breathing. Are there toxins in yoga mats that can harm your health and wellbeing?

Unfortunately, yes.

Yoga is a spiritual, earthy practice that has its roots in ancient Hindu and Buddhist Hindu traditions. Most people who practice Yoga would be shocked at how many carcinogens and toxins (yes, cancer-causing chemical) are in the modern yoga mats.

Some Yoga Mats, on the other hand are not necessarily toxic but they are bad for the environment. Polyurethane foam and plastic are hard to recycle and reuse. It’s time to let go!

As people become more eco-conscious there are a growing number of non-toxic and environmentally friendly Yoga Mats. They are also more affordable than traditional mats that contain toxic chemicals.
