Thinking of treating yourself to a wellness-boosting gift to kick off the year. Why not consider choosing a woven yoga rug to replace your plastic yoga mat? Yoga rugs are woven with organic cotton and other natural materials and can be an amazing way to transform your practice.
More Sustainable
Many yoga mats these days are made with non-renewable materials such as PVC and other plastics. Yoga rugs, on the other hand, are made with biodegradable, sustainably grown organic materials such as organic cotton or organic hemp.
Your yoga rug will also last much longer than a cheap, plastic mat, and could even be handed down through generations!
Sweat-Absorbing
If you sweat a lot during your yoga practice, you may find yourself slipping all over your mat. Yoga rugs are naturally sweat absorbing, meaning slippery hands won’t interrupt your flow.
Washable
It can be a faff to clean and dry a regular yoga mat. Yoga rugs are washable, making it easier to clean them, either in the washing machine or by hand. Many woven rugs also include ayurvedic herbs which give them natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. This means you only need to wash them every few months.
Better for Your Wellbeing
Treating yourself to a yoga rug can be an intentional step to deepening your yoga practice and boosting your wellbeing. Laying out a beautiful handwoven rug can feel more meaningful than rolling out your old mat. They are also free from potentially harmful plastics and chemicals, and many are woven with healing herbs.
