Types of Yoga Mats

Plastic

This is the cheapest price available and many new students often buy plastic types because of its low price.

This is a big mistake because it is very thin and doesnot provide much of protection for you.

When using plastic yoga mats you may notice unpleasant smell from phthalates chemical which can harm your health if used for a long period of times.

Jute

This types are environmental friendly but there are still some disadvantage that can lead to problems if not taken care properly.

During the exercises or training jute yoga mats will absorb your sweat which causes unpleasant smell every time you use it and can be damage over time.

Don't expect this type to last very long if you haven't taken care of it properly.

Rubber

This types is sturdy and cheap. The major problems of using rubber yoga mats is that it can cause allergies for some peoples.

The good news is that there are new rubber yoga mats available which are made phthalate and latex free but at a higher price.
