I 9 migliori tappetini yoga sostenibili e non tossici: la guida definitiva

Did you know that the material of your yoga mat can affect your breathing? One of the important parts of yoga practice is proper breathing. Most yoga mats on the market are made of PVC plastic, which has health and environmental implications, considering that PVC is a toxic material as it contains lead and other heavy metals that make it more stable. When buried or burned, it releases a carcinogenic substance called dioxin.

1. HZCORK Cork Yoga Mat

The biggest concern for many people when using a new mat is the smell. Cork yoga mats are virtually odorless, which is why many people feel better about them.

It would be an exaggeration to say that it has no smell at all, after all the surface still gives off a faint woody scent of cork, but it is not at all harsh and is acceptable to most people.

The bark is harvested once every 10-20 years, which is environmentally friendly. Cork is also very flexible, airtight, and resistant to friction, as well as being non-toxic, odorless, and soft to the touch, making it very versatile.

Cork has a small specific gravity and feels as good as PU and natural rubber; it has a plain appearance but is non-slip and wear-resistant, so even if it gets wet, it will not affect practice. It is also less smelly than TPE or natural rubber, which takes time to dissipate, making it really environmentally friendly and healthy.

According to many yogis: it’s like having no yoga mat at all.

Only the mats are now made of recycled material, but they are also recyclable. When you have finished with your old mat, you can send it back to Suga to make a new one.

The mat is very supportive and has the right amount of softness and sturdiness. So far, it also seems to be very durable. The neutral design is also a plus. However, the regular Suga mats are heavy and therefore more suitable for home practice.

The Hugger Mugger brand of yoga mats stands out for being biodegradable, non-toxic and recyclable.

Darbha (Desmotachya bipinnata) is a tropical grass that is considered a sacred material in the Vedic classics and is said to purify offerings in such rituals. These grass mats are also used for meditation, as they are said to provide positive energy.

This yoga mat is non-slip and offers good support. It’s not as soft and flexible as a normal PVC mat though, so if you have a sensitive spine, knees or wrists I would recommend using it on a carpeted floor or adding extra padding. The grass fibres are finer than plastic and high intensity HIIT workouts are not recommended on this mat.

Why choose an eco-friendly yoga mat?

One of the main objectives of practising yoga is to feel a sense of centre. The choice of mat can affect this feeling.
A mat made of natural materials allows energy to flow from head to toe, thus stabilising the pose. Rubber and plastic act as insulators and inhibit flow, effectively stopping it.
