Review - Harmony II Natural Rubber Yoga Mat

Thursday February 17, 2005
Most yoga mats are made from synthetic materials, which include polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Since I spend a lot of time on the mat and am concerned about the effects of PVC on my health and the environment, I decided to try a PVC-free mat. See what I thought of the Harmony II.

HI,
IS this really an eco mat if it smells like a tire? I would think that a natural rubber anything would not have a smell….

yah, this mats smell can be overwhelming at times. Although I like it. Someone told me it is made from carpet padding and that this company does not make ANY eco products at all.
But, i guess everyone buys it.

Does anyone who who the company is that makes these?
