 Thankyou very much for your patience in dealing with my requests. I just want to say that I really enjoy using your mats. There is something very right about them that is in complete harmony with the practice of yoga . . . I look forward to many years using them

I use ( and have done for 3 years) the Eco mat & love it :)
Brenda - Ennis Yoga Studio Co Clare 2011
Just wanted to write and tell you what a difference your mat made to my practice. For years I was using a regular mat which I always slipped on and never got full grip, when I found this mat over in Galway it was brilliant. I have had my mat now for about three years there are wear marks where my feet are ;) so it may be time for a new mat but am loathe to give it up a lot of unyogic attachment to my mat :)))). I am a hatha yoga teacher and am presently doing my iyengar certification. I tell all my students about the Eco mat, so thanks a million and keep up the good work

I have one of your 4mm eco mats and just love it, don't care that it has dandruff, its a Fair Dinkum non slip yoga mat that still smells a good natural scent after months of use in humid sweaty Mysore and Balinese climates (at least to me it does), as against the thicker synthetic cushy options you can clearly smell when they line up alongside you. Bad news!

Hi EcoYoga – I’m a Yoga teacher and have been using the Jute 4mm Extra Long product for 3 years – they are excellent!

I just wanted to give you some feedback on the 2mm mat you sent me several weeks ago. It's been nothing but joy to practice on it. I took it to the Purple Valley retreat in Goa for two weeks and it was great to take something half the weight of a 4mm mat, but no problems with flaking latex whatsoever. I now use it once a week when I practice away from home.
The biggest surprise was that the mat (or its latex) smelled of biscuits when I started using it! So don't change it :-)
I'm very glad I bought it, even though this brings my & my husband's EcoMat collection to 4!

I would like to congratulate you on a wonderful product. The Original Eco Yoga Mat is just superb, and it's clear that many many people think so as well, as it is by far the most popular mat we sell.

4mm is a bit thin and doesn't give much padding for poses involving kneeling. Some such poses I can't really do with this mat. However the mat is far more grippy than a plastic one and the jute absorbs sweat and takes it away from my hands and feet, so I don't slip as much. The colour free mat looks so nice that we leave it out as a living room rug when its not in use..

First of all, I want to commend you on a great eco-friendly product. I love my jute mat, recommend them to everyone, and get asked about it frequently. I recently went traveling without it, and one of the first things I did when I got back was hug my mat - it was one of two tangible things I missed, the other one being my
garden

 Received the new mat thanks and giving it a good workout. I like the new mat – the latex bottom seems more robust but that may be anecdotal. The top is a bit softer (less abrasive) than the natural when I first had it – seems to give good grip tho even when a bit sweaty. It holds water/sweat a fair bit and takes a while to dry but that is not a problem.

A real innovation. In particular I like the hard wearing but grippy surface of the Jute mat. It is quite thin and provides excellent grounding to the earth. The texture and strength of the mat really support my feet during balancing postures. And gives a firm foundation for jump throughs in the Astanga Yoga practice.
But most of all I love the fact that I am no longer sitting on an old plastic PVC mat and am now using a Yoga mat that was grown on a tree !

Hi,
I recently purchased a 4 mm Jute mat on-line February 2004.
I am now contacting you to say that having used it on a weekly basis for my yoga practise I can tell you that this is the best thing I have used. The mat provides a firm foundation on which to work and I haven't got the problem of slipping and sliding all over the place, even when I get hot and sweaty! In fact, I get a feeling of being fully grounded and anchored to the earth. I have stopped using my old purple, synthetic thing of a mat and don't intend using again either.
Well done and thank you for providing a natural and enviro friendly product. I am sure I will get many years' use out of it.
I would highly recommend your product - in fact my yoga teacher did make comment and he always has a look when I roll it out. Unfortunately he's into the tacky purple things. I shall have to point him in your direction!
Thank you once again and keep me posted about any new products.
Best wishes
Jennifer Daniel-Jackson
The mat is brilliant, and I will recommend it to friends.
Best wishes

hello
I just received your mat today and wanted to say how much I like it. I
actually like the smell, and it feels great against the skin- much nicer
than my PVC mat. So congratulations on the first round of this product
and I will certainly purchase another one when this wears out.
Best wishes

... i have had the mat for many years and it has lasted really well, and it's the only one i dont slip on, cant imagine doing yoga on anything else now
Maxine James - Fuerteventura August 2011
My current mat is about 7 yrs old and i can't work out if it might have been 4mm once upon a time, because it's about 3mm in the thickest
region . . . I'm totally in love with the Eco mat and don't want to buy anything else . . .

Once you use an ecoyoga mat you can't go back :)
Rachel - Alicante May 2010
You will be pleased to know that I have tried so many other so called Eco yoga mats within my classes and sold those mats to my students but none compare to your mats – they are truly the best !!!!
Emma - Jersey April 2010
Please please please!!! tell me where I can get your 4mm Ecomat in Australia or where to order. My current ecomat is shedding on me each time I practise! But having tried other mats they are just so second rate after using your superb mats
Bev - Sydney Australia 2011
I am so happy with my new mat, it is beautiful, smells good, super traction, perfect thickness, and so good to our environment!
Jen- Seattle 8th June 2005
dear people..my mat (cinnamon, brown,travel type) is shedding so much latex as to be unusable now. The jute is still strong and intact. I estimate the mat has suffered 700 to 900 hours use, not including seated meditation practice. It has been rolled, folded and stuffed into motorcycle panniers every day, soaked several times and left on the bus once, and all this in about 18 months ish. I would recommend this type of mat to anyone...have you any more please?????

I recently purchased a Eco Yoga mat from your website during your sale and after a month of nearly daily use I would like to express my delight in this mat.
I have only been practising yoga for 8 months or so, so I am by no means an expert on all things yoga, but having used different types of mats in yoga classes & also in my own personal practice at home during this time, I can now say that I have found the perfect mat.
I have a 4mm thick Jute Mat in Red and I love the combination of the rubber & the jute on the top side. Practising on a 100% natural mat makes me feel like I have a connection with the earth, grounding my practice. I often found with previous mats that my hands or feet would slip in different poses, but the jute surface on my new mat ensures I can hold the pose with confidence, no worries about sliding.
I use my mat on both carpet at home & a wooden floor during my weekly class. I have found it to be more sturdy on the wooden floor than my previous 'sticky' mat that had a tendency to move when jumping legs apart for standing poses.
The mat caused quite a stir at my weekly class and definitely stands out from all the traditional yoga mats.
Kind Regards

I have to say, it's fantastic. Really, I've never seen a natural yoga mat that is so similar to the toxic ones we're all accustomed too. You can bet that we'll be pointing people in your direction. Actually, my partner Lisa said "Oh I'm going to do so many advertisements to people!"
Thanks for the help and thanks for great
product.
Ryan Harlin
I have been using my new mat for a week now and frankly it's superb, it scores over PVC mats in so many areas. The nature of the grip, stronger in comparison to a standard mat but not in the least sticky, means that I'm actually finding certain asanas easier and in general a better and more controlled practise. This isn't something I was expecting and I'm more than happy.
