Traditional Indian rugs made specifically for yoga practice allow the yoga practitioner to feel the original way that yoga was practiced.
There are pure cotton durrie mats tailored and densely woven in their manufacture by hand to allow them to retain their shape under all sorts of conditions.

Also, the natural cotton is a great absorbant , allowing sweat that may arise during practice to be absorbed.
Especially useful for Ashtanga and 'hot' Yoga practitioners!
Often people find that using a cotton eco friendly indian yoga mat on top of an existing natural organic rubber and jute mat, makes the posture work very much more comfortable and in the case of sweat inducing work, it wickes the sweat.
For those with delicate parts such as knees, backs and neck, the indian yoga mats are a good support.
The colours used are wonderful vibrant colours and eco friendly.
