Jade Harmony Yoga Mat Review

This yoga mat came from Jade Harmony and they have a pretty good reputation, so I picked one up last year when my old mat wore out. This mat is fairly standard looking and it seems to wear out at a normal rate, so I don’t think I’ll be able to get more than a year of use out of it, but it has superior grip and is really very soft. I practice yoga on a hardwood floor, both at home and in my class, and I’ve been pretty pleased in both places, the 3/16 inches of cushion were definitely not wasted on me. This mat is also 74 inches long which for a 6′2″ guy like myself is definitely crucial.
I have found that this mat is pretty easy to clean using water and letting it drip dry, or by . I had been trying antibacterial wipes, but I didn’t want to add to the already pretty strong rubber smell, which is probably the only negative attribute I’ve noticed to this so far. The smell sticks to hands pretty well, so it’s probably advisable to wash your hands after touching it a lot.

The mat is also eco-friendly, and Jade Harmony will plant a tree if you buy one, which I thought was nice. I read that many people had problems getting this mat to stick when they were really sweaty, but I haven’t had any and I sweat all over, all the time. It hasn’t slipped out from under me during sun salutations which is usually the maneuver that will send either myself, or the mat, sliding somewhere other than where I want. This mat was a slightly more expensive than others I checked out, but has been worth every penny so far.

Love This Mat!!…by Arbela

I had been on the lookout for a decent non-slip mat for some time. Fortunately, not only did I find a good one, but it’s environmentally friendly too! And in colors (early rubber mats were in white…snore)!  The cushion is nice too, especially if you attend classes at a studio with a hard floor surface (those thin, plastic mats just don’t cut it on hardwood). It *is* heavier than the average mat, so you’ll feel the difference rolling it up and carrying it around. Plus it doesn’t slide in and out of my cloth yoga mat bag like the plastic mats, so I’ve given up the mat bag for velcro straps. There’s a heavy rubber smell in the beginning, but that goes away with time….(Read the rest)
