Jade Organic Hand Loomed Mat - Black (7.9mm)

Jade's organic cotton Mysore yoga rugs are perfect for all kinds of yoga classes, including Ashtanga, outdoor classes, and beach yoga. Please use it on top of your Jade mat to prevent slipping when using it on hard surfaces such as hardwood, laminate, and tile floors. These rugs are handwoven by rural artisans in India, preserving a tradition and art form and providing a livelihood for weavers. Weaving is a traditional way of life for many people in this area of India and has seen a huge decline in recent years as it can be very difficult to make a living with weaving and many people have left in search of other jobs. These yoga rugs support the traditional weavers and allow them to use their skills to support their families. For many of them, this is the only job they have ever had and making these rugs allows them to keep this tradition alive. And with the purchase of each rug, Jade provides a week of hot lunches to a child in need in India.
