The Importance of Good Mats
Responsible Yoga teachers will always recommend the importance of having the right grounding to practice yoga on. Mats, especially good mats are essential for assisting the postures, alignment and overall execution of yoga positions.
There are also important health, environmental and safety issues that must be taken into consideration.
What is the point of working on getting fit, becoming healthy in body and mind yet using a mat that exudes toxic odours. You will be surprised as to how many of the cheaper mats do precisely that.
Quite apart from the conditions these mats are made under, it flies in the face of the yogic ethic and philosophy to settle for products that are produced more with an eye for profit than best practice.
We take these points seriously and thus our choice and collection of mats, props and supports are chosen with the highest regard for best manufacture, healthy materials, sustainable solutions and the yogin's best interest.
Sure, one might be able to find very cheap yoga mats but made in conditions that are far from yogic not tempt people to consider this option. We believe the world is in a wretched enough state without willfully adding to it by supporting production methods that encompass misery and poverty. Economic considerations must be balanced by moral and ethical standards.
So our Yoga-Ez yoga mats choices are suggested for their contribution to much more than great product.
They are helping develop a whole commitment to sustainable lifestyle, respect, well being and fair trade for all.
