Om For the Earth! Eco-Friendly Yoga Gear

Made of sustainably harvested natural tree rubber that's softened with nontoxic foaming agents (meaning no chemicals have gone into the manufacturing process), when this 3.5-pound, one-eighth-inch thick mat's life is over, it will biodegrade without leaving behind toxic residue. The rubber is reinforced with a blend of polyester and natural cotton, making the Manduka Eko Lite Mat ($48) a high-performance, durable choice that's good for the environment. Travelling? Purchase the foldable Eko SuperLite Travel Mat ($40), weighing only two pounds.
