from The Eco Sheroes Podcast · host Pallavi Santhapuram
It is rare for anyone not to own a yoga mat these days! I am glad health is getting its due importance in today's era! Being fit is gaining momentum! When I started exercising around ten years ago, I just went out there and bought the cheapest mat available. Back then, it did not matter what material it was, the grip, etc... I just needed to buy some soft base to work out on. It would smell horrible and start to flake out within some time, but I never understood its horrible repercussions. Only when I started an eco-friendly lifestyle did I realize how important it was to choose the right material for the yoga Mat TOWARDS THE END OF THE EPISODE, I SHARED MY FAVOURITE ECO-FRIENDLY OPTION FOR A YOGA MAT :) When you plan to buy a yoga mat, the most essential aspect is the material used to make it. Unknowingly through these mats, you will inhale unwanted toxic chemicals while exercising, which can slowly do more harm than good. I discuss the details you need to look for when choosing a suitable mat for a healthy workout that will not impact the environment.
