With a 2 in 1 design the combo mat is a mat and towel in one. Hence you can get sweaty on your yoga mat and don’t need a towel.

Hand washing is recommended but you can put it on a gentle cycle in your washing machine.

The Tiggar mat is made from biodegradable, 100% natural rubber with non-toxic foaming agents and non-Azo dyes. It is therefor 100% eco friendly and processed through a zero waste manufacturing process. The mat has excellent grip and is slip resistant. You can use this mat for Yoga as well as Pilates. It might have a rubber smell when you unpack it so make sure you spread it in a cool and ventilated place for 3-4 days before you use it. This will get rid of the smell.

The natural rubber used has a very strong grip and extra cushion giving it a superior level of traction. The 0.18inches thickness provides great traction, cushion and stability for standing poses. The mat is great to use for any activity at any level. Jade Yoga commits to giving back to earth and has planted over one million trees since 2006 with Trees for the Future.

Conclusion 

My first choice would be Jade Yoga. I love the extra thickness meaning I can hold a pose a bit longer without worrying about joints hurting. It is well priced and I also love the fact that Jade gives back by planting trees. After all, it is not just about using eco friendly products. You need to put back what you take out. 

Thanks for reading and I hope this guide will empower you to build a stronger life. And a better yoga practice.
