Ekaminhale Organic Yoga Rug

You can feel the craftsmanship woven into every inch of this rug. I love the sourcing story behind it and the fact that the cotton's organic. I've had other cotton rugs in the past, which soon became too rough and stiff for an ashtanga practice after just a few washes. This is easily the best experience I've ever had on a cotton rug. It's soft and light, sits perfectly over a 71" black mat pro (with room to spare) and makes jumping through and back a much more pleasant experience :) Grip and balance come naturally, but not at the expense of comfort.I've washed mine several times now and it still comes out really soft, retaining its original color and size. I think it will last years, if not decades. It washes well in cold water & a gentle spin, and will usually dry within 24 hours. I have an (almost :) daily Mysore practice, so I sweat into mine lots for about a week before washing it. No unpleasant odors or scuffing on the mat whatsoever... it feels like it's built to last. I got mine in plum; the threading, detail and color really scream quality and look beautiful. Big thanks to Ekaminhale! This mat really takes my practice to the next level.

Great for ashtanga mysore sweaty practice!I bought a plum colour rug and it shredded a lot of cotton fluff even after many washes.The company sales team is very caring - They got in touch straight away and send a replacement rug.The new blue rug is much better quality and only has very little fluff coming off.5* for nice sales team and good quality rug!!

What a beautiful thing! It is fairly thin, but a great length, it is such a lovely colour it is hard to keep it just for yoga! I do not regret spending the quite considerable amount of money on this item, it gives me joy which is just what you need when practising yoga!

Lovely long mat and works well left down as it looks gorgeous

Really pleased with this cotton top mat. The colour is great and it has a really nice feel and texture. I also love the fact that its made using both organic cotton and dyes. High recommend.

Best ashtanga rug ever!! Good quality A+++

A beautifully crafted mat that looks good enough to leave out all the time. Lovely texture to practice on.

First - it is just beautiful - I bought the plum one, and I love the colour and textile - very soft but not too smooth. The quality is great and looks like a long lasting rug. Light, but dense enough to stay flat on the floor, carpet or mat during the practice. It gives a good grip and base for feet also in standing postures.I have it only for a few days, but I decided just to try it out both at home and out in our warm studio using it for entire astanga sequence. And I have to admit that I got surprised how nice, stable and same time super soft it felt. The only moment that I had to get back to the mat was backbends - my hands needed much more resistance to stay at the place. But with standing postures I had no troubles. And if your feet sweat even a little bit, it will give you even more support :) Same time; it is smooth enough to slide over during transitions. They recommended to water it a bit in the beginning, but I didn't need it so far.The last highlight - easy in maintenance, you just wash it in cold water and let it dry. It keeps its shape.
