Ganesha Suede/Natural Rubber Travel Yoga Mat

Description

Suede and Natural Rubber Yoga Mats – great for travel!
Colorful, vibrant and so versatile.  We are happy to offer these mats to you. Our suede and natural rubber mats are a mere 1.5 mm thick.  This means they can play a number of roles.  You may either roll or fold this mat.  Use it alone, or layer over another mat for extra softness and absorption.
I use it for travel as it will pack easily.  I like to take advantage of yoga class offerings when I go places. Often resorts, cruise ships or beachside venues offer the use of their mats that have been used by countless other guests.  While I appreciate the access to a mat, I used to feel a little grossed out, imagining the last sweaty body to use that mat.  With our travel mat, problem solved!  I bring this along as use it like a towel over the mat that has been offered. It is beautiful, sweat absorbing, grippy and sanitary.  These mats can even be thrown in the washing machine, although I recommend spot cleaning for small mishaps.
Our mats contain zero PVC’s or harmful chemicals and are 100% recyclable.  Read more about these sustainable mats below in

About our designs:
Ganesha Mandala
features the elephant figurehead of Ganesha and reads “May my heart be kind, my mind fierce and my spirit brave.”  Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles as well as a patron of intellect, learning and wisdom.  In some cultures, Ganesha is called upon for strength before facing new challenges or learning.  We like the notion of the protection and guidance as we embark on our own, individual journeys and face life’s challenges, with kindness, strength and courage.
Product Information
We love these mats and are proud to offer durable and eco-friendly products.
They start with a base of natural rubber
from the best Hevea rubber trees.  The rubber is collected (tapped) in a sustainable manner, not harming the trees and allowing them to mature and continue to produce the milky latex within the latex vessels in the bark.  While natural rubber (latex) may cause allergic reactions for some (),
rubber is non-toxic, non-slip/skid, waterproof, stain resistant, durable, has excellent flexibility and cushioning, and is recyclable
.  And because natural rubber is sticky when heated, our manufacturing process takes advantage of this physical feature to combine many types of surface layers WITHOUT the use of chemical adhesives.
Our suede is made of jute microfiber
and is
hypoallergenic, soft, moisture absorbing and non-abrasive
while still maintaining grip.  Microfiber suede absorbs water rapidly, which increases surface tension.  In fact, the more moisture, the more anti-slip it becomes.
Our mats contain zero PVC’s or harmful chemicals and are 100% recyclable.
