To explain a little bit of this yoga mat features – we would like to describe it like this: This is Mandukas best selling yoga mat thrue the years. It´s sustainable and last forever. The more you use it – the better it becomes. It´s produced in Europe i an OEKO-TEX Certified fabric. The closed cells in the mat makes it easy to clean and stop sweat and moisture to get into the mat. Sustainable engineering ensures high quality material will not peel, flake or fade. Product improves with use over time. You have to “break it in” – it´s not perfect out of the box. So be aware! But it is indeed 100% latex free which makes it very suitable for yogis sensitive to natural rubber mats.
