Don't slip in downward dog
user
An estimated 15 million people in the U.S. practice yoga. Many do
it for the physical benefits; a stronger core, a lengthening in
their posture, a more lithe body. Those who delve into the tenets
of yoga know that at the heart of the practice is a need to live in
peace with the Earth. This is where JadeYoga steps in to marry
physical fitness and eco-friendliness.
JadeYoga makes
mats using natural rubber, which is a renewable resource tapped
from rubber trees. The company's Jade mats contain no PVC,
synthetic rubbers or other ozone-depleting substances. They're
made in the U.S. in compliance with all environmental and labor
laws -- which is important to company founder Dean Jerrehian (a
former lawyer for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), who
has worked to steer JadeYoga in a green direction. As part of that
commitment to sustainability, JadeYoga formed a partnership with
Trees for the Future and plants one tree for every Jade mat that is
sold.
If that
weren't great enough, Jade mats are a step above the rest.
Natural rubber works best where non-slip performance is crucial for
safety. Just think of your sneakers, bicycle tires and those floor
mats in industrial settings. In the yoga studio, natural rubber
means no more slipping on your mat, even in downward dog, even when
you're really dripping. If you're looking for comfort and
performance in a yoga mat, look no further.
