Most Yoga mats are made from toxic PVC that releases harmful chemicals and are not bio-degradable. PVC is an open cell material which means that it absorbs sweat and dirt resulting in bacterial odour. It also has a smooth slippery surface that is not great for yoga practice.
The Peace and Harmony Yoga mat is available in two colours – green/grey and purple/blue. The mat size is 183 cm x 61 cm x 6mm thick, which is larger than a standard cheap PVC yoga mat.
The mats are packed in a brown paper wrap as the use of plastics has been reduced.
