BANG FOR THE BITE

 

 

 

If 10,000 Biters buy an eco-mat instead of a PVC one, we'll avert the weight of 167 yoginis in nonrecyclable plastic.

Are you into yoga just for the healthy image?

The Bite

Stop frontin'. Get a natural yoga mat - one free of the harmful plastic PVC. They're better for you and help avoid the number-one telltale sign that you're a bluffer - slipping during your asanas.

 

The Benefits

 

Less PVC. 90% of yoga mats contain PVC plastic, which releases carcinogenic dioxins during production.

Less slippage. Natural rubber and fibers like jute provide better traction than plastic.

Staying true to yoga. The yogic pillar of ahimsa calls for nonviolence to all things, including the planet.

Easy care. Depending on the material, you can clean natural mats with a cloth, in the bathtub, or even in the washing machine.

 

Personally Speaking

If you ever stop by our SF office, don't be surprised if you find us doing headstands next to the reception desk.
