best eco friendly yoga mat

what kind of mat do you have now?

i like the jade harmony mat for an eco-friendly mat.

a lot of people slide for a couple of different reasons:

1. misalignment in the balance across the hands (how to ground in, where the weight goes, etc--all of this keeps one from slipping);

2. the type of mat (some types are more slippery than others);

3. too much sweat/water.

obviously, for the first one you have to look to the alignment of the pose. for the second and third, you can use a towel (i always used a regular towel, rather than those expensive 'yogi toes' ones) or a yoga rug, or you can replace your mat with a better one.

i'm in the market for one. i already found an eco-friendly mat bag. it's made out of recycled plastic bottles!

This is what I use & I love it! You can compost it when you are done w/ it!

I got a jute mat too - it's a bit itchy, but I like it since I use that sensation to remind me to stop noticing everything other than my breathing It moves around a bit with me, but I don't mind.

I use that one, and find it slippery as well, but not annoyingly so - I think I am just accustomed to the security of my old mat. I have the standard rather than extra thick. I think once broken in, it will be a nice mat. It was cheap, and it doesn't smell. Smelly PVC mats make me feel ill.
