However, with so many options available, finding the right yoga mat can be overwhelming. In this guide, we will help you navigate through the different types of yoga mats, including eco-friendly, cork, and extra wide yoga mats, and provide tips on how to choose the best one for your practice.
Why Choose an Eco-Friendly Yoga Mat?
Eco-friendly yoga mats are made from natural and sustainable materials that are gentle on the environment. Traditional yoga mats are made from PVC, a synthetic material that is non-biodegradable and can release harmful chemicals during production and disposal. Eco friendly yoga mat is made from materials such as natural rubber, jute, and cork, which are biodegradable and do not harm the environment.
Advantages of Using a Cork Yoga Mat

What to Look for When Purchasing a Yoga Mat?
There are several factors to consider when purchasing a yoga mat, including:
(4.1) Thickness: The cushioning and support of the mat are affected by its thickness. Thinner mats are lighter and easier to carry, while thicker mats provide more cushioning.
(4.2) Material: The mat's material influences its grip, durability, and environmental friendliness. PVC mats are long-lasting and provide a good grip, but they are not environmentally friendly. Natural rubber mats are environmentally friendly and have a good grip, but they can be heavy. Cork mats are environmentally friendly, have a good grip, and are lightweight.
(4.3) Texture: The grip and feel of the mat are affected by its texture. Mats with textured surfaces have a better grip, whereas smooth surfaces can be slippery.
(4.4) Size: The amount of space you have to move and stretch during your practice is affected by the size of the mat. Standard yoga mats are 68 inches long and 24 inches wide, but extra wide mats offer more space.
(4.5) Price: The cost of the mat varies according to its material, thickness, and brand. Eco-friendly and extra-wide mats are typically more expensive than standard mats.
How to Look After Your Yoga Mat
It is critical to clean and care for your yoga mat properly in order to extend its life. Here are some pointers:
- After each use, wipe down your mat with a damp cloth. - Use a yoga mat cleaner or a solution of water and vinegar to thoroughly clean your mat. - Allow your mat to air dry and avoid direct sunlight or high heat.

more pack testing runs and walks with Toad (ft new beanie I got myself for the holidays)
did more indoor cycling and yoga this week than strength, my legs are tired from ramping up miles over the break but I wouldn’t have it any other way
I was fortunate to be off this holiday week and do more of what makes me feel my best. I did some end of year run journaling and planning for next year, and setting up my planner in general. To carry these habits on to the new year 🤞🏻

So I wasn’t able to actually PLAY my Chill Save this past weekend, thanks to not having the majority of my mods cleared for the new patch -- so instead I hit Granite Falls in my building save and decided to upgrade one of the cabin lots there for my Valicer trio! (You know, via giving it a makeover and then saving it to my Library to be slotted into the actual Chill Save later.) Ended up choosing “Green Getaway,” since I figured they didn’t need a huge place (especially since only ONE of them needs a bed to sleep in now). I made the following improvements:
-->First of all, the outside is actually green now. XD I actually chose that completely at random because I wanted just to make it something other than brown -- it wasn’t until I was renaming the lot that I realized “Oh, huh, that was apt.” XD Missed the back stairs, but eh, that’s the back, no big deal. (And if I really want I can fix it when I put it into the Chill Save.)
-->I also made the inside more colorful -- the main living space has yellow walls now, and the bathroom is blue with a STONE floor because I felt that was smarter than hardwood.
-->Changed the games table on the front porch to the nicer wood “Don’t Wake The Llama” one (I believe from Parenthood), as I thought that fit better than the base game one.
-->Gave the house a proper mini-kitchen! Pretty much all of it apart from the sink, paper towels, dish drainer, fire alarm, and bin are from Cottage Living, as I felt that fit the aesthetic.
-->Upgraded the couch from a two-seater to a three-seater, and upgraded the TV to match.
-->As this necessitated getting rid of one of the lights, I also upgraded all the hanging lamps in the house to brighter Cottage Living ones.
-->Changed out the bookcase and dining table for nicer ones/ones I felt fit the cabin better, added more dining chairs (Smiler may not need to eat, but I do intend for them to take their laptop on this jaunt), and rearranged decorative items so that they’re all visible with walls cutaway.
-->Also added curtains! From Cats & Dogs if I recall correctly. Just makes the living room look a little nicer. Bathroom got a shade, though I don’t recall the pack.
-->Added the little gramophone radio and an end table for it to sit on (finding one that it WOULD sit on was a task and a half, though!)
-->Moved the cool little corkboard with its pre-placed postcards into the bedroom; also changed the bed to the Rustic Dream bed (or whatever it’s called) that you unlock when you max out the “Patron of the Arts” branch of the Artist career. This is the bed Alice will be unlocking soon, so I figured I’d let her and Victor try it out. :p
-->Rearranged the bathroom so I could fit in a proper shower/tub combo and some better towels (another task and a half to find ones that looked good!).
-->Added a third log seat to the campfire; a third folding chair seat to the cooler sitting area (and replaced the log seat serving as a “table” with an actual log table); and a couple of counters beside the barbecue with appropriate decorative items. Oh, and changed the mailbox to the Werewolves one and the bin to -- don’t recall if base game or from Outdoor Retreat, but it looked better than the standard plastic one!
-->Added the new Werewolves telescope and a water balloon bucket for more activities!
-->Added lot traits -- Sunny Aspect (because it’s a pretty forest); Peace & Quiet (because it’s out in the middle of nowhere and should be pretty chill); Natural Lighting (because it should be a good place to get more pictures for the nonexistent photo album XD).
I think it came out pretty nice -- and it should serve as a nice base of operations for Victor, Alice, and Smiler’s vacation. And, if you agree, since I did this without my mods and CC installed, I put it up on the Gallery! It’s called “Green Getaway Makeover,” under username AliceNVictor. :) Hope you enjoy!

embarrassing thing to realise at my big age but yoga mats are a fucking gimmick, what you really want at least for at-home yoga is simply a fucking rug 🤦
