Many yoga mats on the market last for a long time. But they may wear out after extended use, and will need to be replaced.
If you're in the market for a new yoga mat, think about "going green" and choosing an eco-friendly yoga mat.
Eco yoga mats are made of material that is biodegradable under the right circumstances, are made of safer, sustainable materials compared to the commonly used PVC yoga mats, and they reduce our carbon footprint on the earth.
Let Me Know You Stopped By!
Great information and suggestions. Glad to find a fellow eco conscious writer.
Well at least you pointed me in the right direction! I'm so glad you have eco-friendly mats on here! So important!
Hi HerbivoreHippie, I'm glad you enjoyed that article -- although I didn't write that one :-) I thought it made a good reference article though, for people who wanted ideas for re-using their old yoga mats.
I just read your "New Used for Old Yoga Mats" article...you are brilliant! I have an old one that has been replaced, why haven't I thought of putting it under the dogs' food bowls? They have those bowls that are not "suppose" to slip but they find a way to push them all around and make a mess. Thanks for the idea!
Why does everything have to be so darned environmentally unfriendly? These new mats sound like winners. I would say put the old one in the garage and get a new one that isn't so unhealthy. Good information on this page!
