People from all age ranges and with all different skill levels have now discovered that yoga is a great way to stay healthy and happy. Unfortunately, the yoga mats most of us curl up into child's pose on are made from PVC, a material that's not only bad for the earth, it's actually thought to be harmful to humans as well. Many PVC yoga mats contain phthalates, which are linked to reproductive problems, and are responsible for dioxin emissions when they're created. The good news is that there are now many PVC-free yoga mats available in materials like natural rubber, hemp and TPE. To find out more about the benefits of PVC-free yoga mats, check out our Yoga Mat Face-Off, and then choose your favorite style out of the PVC-free yoga mats below. Don't forget the eco-friendly yoga accessories, either; we've got cork and bamboo blocks and hemp and organic cotton mat bags (as well as eco-friendly fitness equipment for other activities).

WHAT MAKES IT GREENER
Natural rubberBamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on the planet and therefore highly sustainable. It is an incredibly versatile plant used for many everyday applications from flooring and wall paneling to paper and fabrics. Some of the processes through which Bamboo is turned from its raw form into usable products can have a negative environmental impact.
An elastic material obtained from the latex sap of trees (especially trees of the genera Hevea and Ficus) that can be vulcanized and finished into a variety of products
Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials that have a reduced impact on the environment. Organic production systems replenish and maintain soil fertility, reduce the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers, and build biologically diverse agriculture. Third-party certification organizations verify that organic producers use only methods and materials allowed in organic production.
Materials that are harvested in a way that reduces the environmental impact and ensures a replenishing supply of the material.
Recycling is the reprocessing of old materials into new products, with the aims of preventing the waste of potentially useful materials, reducing the consumption of fresh raw materials, reducing energy usage, reducing air (from incineration) and water (from landfilling) pollution by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.
Hemp is harvested for its fibers for hemp clothing and seeds for hemp oil. With a relatively short growth cycle of 100-120 days, it is an efficient and economical crop for farmers to grow, however, industrial hemp cannot be commercially grown in the United States because it is erroneously confounded with marijuana. In fact, industrial hemp and marijuana are different breeds of Cannabis sativa. Smoking large amounts of hemp flowers can produce a headache but not a high!
