I recently purchased a 4 mm Jute mat on-line February 2004.

I am now contacting you to say that having used it on a weekly basis for my yoga practice I can tell you that this is the best thing I have used. The mat provides a firm foundation on which to work and I haven't got the problem of slipping and sliding all over the place, even when I get hot and sweaty! In fact, I get a feeling of being fully grounded and anchored to the earth. I have stopped using my old purple, synthetic thing of a mat and don't intend using again either.

Well done and thank you for providing a natural and enviro friendly product. I am sure I will get many years' use out of it.

I would highly recommend your product - in fact my yoga teacher did make comment and he always has a look when I roll it out. Unfortunately he's into the tacky purple things. I shall have to point him in your direction!

Thank you once again and keep me posted about any new products.

Best wishes

...after a month of nearly daily use I would like to express my delight in this mat.

I have only been practicing yoga for 8 months or so, so I am by no means an expert on all things yoga, but having used different types of mats in yoga classes & also in my own personal practice at home during this time, I can now say that I have found the perfect mat.

I have a 4mm thick Jute Mat in Red and I love the combination of the rubber & the jute on the top side. Practicing on a 100% natural mat makes me feel like I have a connection with the earth, grounding my practice. I often found with previous mats that my hands or feet would slip in different poses, but the jute surface on my new mat ensures I can hold the pose with confidence, no worries about sliding.

I use my mat on both carpet at home & a wooden floor during my weekly class. I have found it to be more sturdy on the wooden floor than my previous 'sticky' mat that had a tendency to move when jumping legs apart for standing poses.

The mat caused quite a stir at my weekly class and definitely stands out from all the traditional yoga mats.

Kind Regards

A real innovation. In particular I like the hard wearing but grippy to surface of the Jute mat. It is quite thin and provides excellent grounding to the earth. The texture and strength of the mat really support my feet during balancing postures. And gives a firm foundation for jump throughs in the Astanga Yoga practice.

But most of all I love the fact that I am no longer sitting on an old plastic PVC mat and am now using a Yoga mat that was grown on a tree !

dear people..my mat (cinnamon, brown,travel type) is shedding so much latex as to be unusable now. The jute is still strong and intact. I estimate the mat has suffered 700 to 900 hours use, not including seated meditation practice. It has been rolled, folded and stuffed into motorcycle panniers every day, soaked several times and left on the bus once, and all this in about 18 months ish. I would recommend this type of mat to anyone...have you any more please?????

The ecoyoga mats are a perfect addition to our yoga practice. Have a great day.

I am so happy with my new mat, it is beautiful, smells good, super traction, perfect thickness, and so good to our environment!
