We have experienced several kinds of yoga mats - each one with some unique advantages.
We recommend this unique 'straw-like' grass mat as very suitable for Ashtanga Yoga and Hatha Yoga.
Why? Because the natural serrations of the dried grass help you maintain grip without providing artificial 'sticky' support. It is exclusively designed for helping you work towards a balance.
Some of the features of this eco-friendly mat are:
Extra wide - 4 feet wide and 6 feet long, as opposed to 2' of most mats.This 'extra' width makes a huge psychological difference, as you spread out in your yoga positions.
Great feel and 'health stimulation' - Feel yourself lying on golden straw in the reclining postures. While standing, feel the natural ribbed serrations of interwoven grass under your feet. This also has a beneficial 'acupressure' effect through the soles of your feet.
Anti Skid - Cotton backing ensures a firm mat without any crumpling or skidding of the mat.
The right grip - But the greatest advantage in our experience, is the right texture of these mats which help in your yoga movements without slipping. At the same time, you can maintain a natural flow in your movement - something that sticky mats do not allow you to do.
Three Fold Mat with Carry Bag, this mat can be folded thrice longitudnally and thrice along the width so that it reduces into a small carry bag .It has a velcro closure and handles for easy carrying.The fabric used is eco-friendly cotton.So, you donot need any separate yoga mat carry bags.
But, if you wish we can also use fancy zari borders to make them more attractive.
In all, a great eco-friendly mat to have for those seeking to get the most out of classical yoga postures.
