I recently wrote a guide to the best eco-yoga mats for Granville Magazine’s The Goods Blog... Thought you might find it interesting.

If finding your style of yoga class and/or teacher from the hundreds displaying their offerings in Vancouver wasn’t overwhelming enough, try finding the ideal yoga mat.
What? You thought yoga was supposed to be this peaceful, bliss-inducing activity? Well, take a breath, a slow, deep one, maybe even a couple.
With this guide, I’ll try to demystify what exactly to look for in something that has become an essential part of a yoga practice: the sticky yoga mat.
great article 🙂
I personally chose the eKo mat over the black mat- as PVC (no matter how well created) will last forever… as in what will happen to the mat after you pass on to the next life….
however, rubber isn’t for everyone (my friend is SUPER sensitive to the smell…). 🙂
