Why Go Green?

Lotus Yoga Pose
Everything we do has an impact on our planet.


As an individual you have the power to control most of your choices and, in turn, the impact you have on the environment. From where you live, to what you buy, eat and how you shop, your individual choices can have a global impact. That's why we decided to offer green yoga mats that are better for you and the earth.

PVC-free Yoga Mats

Some of the greatest threats to future resources come from the byproducts of the commodities we use today. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) , is dangerous to human health, and the environment, throughout its entire life cycle because it releases harmful toxins into the environment. By using our PVC free yoga mat, you are helping the environment as well as investing in a high quality yoga mat. Our Manduka and Jade yoga mats meet the highest standards for environmentally friendly yoga mats on the market.

Our PVC-free yoga mats are made of:

  • Biodegradable rubber
  • Natural unbleached cotton
  • Sustainable cork

Why are PVC-free Yoga Mats So Important?

Few consumers realize that PVC is the single most environmentally damaging of all plastics. Since safer alternatives, such as natural rubber, are available for virtually many uses of PVC, it is possible to protect human health and the environment by replacing and eventually phasing out this poison plastic.

Organic Yoga Mats

Natural rubber provides our organic yoga mats with better grip and more cushioning than almost all other synthetic rubber currently available!

Our Organic yoga mats are:

  • Designed to last for a lifetime
  • Designed to minimize harmful effects on the environment
  • Created using simple, natural materials

Eco-friendly Yoga Mats

Unlike some traditional yoga mats:
  • Our eco-friendly yoga mats are made in the United States.
  • We support fair labor and wage practices
  • Our plants have been certified as producing zero toxic emissions

Our eco-friendly yoga mats not only highlight the organic foundations of yoga, they also offer peace of mind knowing that our mats are derived from renewable, natural resources. Feel good knowing that for every Jade yoga mat bought, a tree will be planted, and for every Manduka Eko Lite yoga mat bought, a percentage of sales will be donated to Off the Mat, Into the World. We at GoGreenYogaMats.com value the preservation of natural resources in an effort to make the world a more beautiful place. Our green yoga mats are proof of our commitment to this mission.
