Natural Fitness Journey Natural Rubber Yoga Mat (24-Inch x 69-Inch x 1/8-Inch) Review
Thinner than the mat I use at home but the lighter weight makes it easy to carry with me when I go to class. It has good traction, especially compared to other "green" mats I have tried in the past. And much better than a PVC mat.

One of Natural Fitness's founding principles is to tread lightly on the earth. They aim to offset the environmental impact that results from the manufacturing and distribution of their products. To achieve this, the company created their Zero Impact Program (ZIP). While Natural Fitness is always looking for new and creative ways to offset their eco-footprint, here’s is what the company is currently doing:
- Plant-A-Tree Initiative: For every product sold, Natural Fitness will fund the planting of a tree, which can remove up to 2,000 pounds of pollution from the atmosphere. Through various partner organizations, the company hopes to improve the lives of people around the world by implementing sustainable land-use programs utilizing the trees provided. Locations for planting trees vary; but past projects have been conducted throughout Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Each location and project is researched and developed to implement the most effective plan possible; one that is best for the people and eco-system involved.
- Offsetting the eco-footprint of their employees and offices.
- Offering the most environmentally-friendly products available.
- Use a "green" web host company that utilizes solar panels to power its data center and office.
- Partnering with like-minded companies to raise public awareness about the environmental problems created through use of fossil fuels and other non-sustainable practices.
- Using recycled content paper in business cards, letterhead, envelopes, labels, checks, and printer/copier paper. All of the product packaging and inserts that Natural Fitness uses are made with recycled paper.
- Using recycled packaging materials and boxes in the company's warehouse. They also pack with old newspapers and other recyclable paper products.
- Helped create the Chicago Biodiesel Co-op, which educated, promotes, and produces locally-derived biofuels.
- Greening the company's comprehensive recycling program and using natural light when possible.
- Spearheaded an ambitious recycling program for the 500,000 square foot office building Natural Fitness occupies, along with 60 companies.

Great for Bikram - em -
It's heavier than a PVC mat but cleans easier. I have it for a couple of months and it's working great to practice Bikram Yoga with. I didn't care about the magazine subscription, and got a rebate instead.
not sticky - Amy Kim - Boston, MA USA
I am a Yoga Teacher. I am picky about yoga mats. This mat was such a let-down. Two minutes into a class, I was sliding all over the place on this mat, and this wasn't a particularly sweaty class. I eventually just folded it up and practiced on the bare floor. Do not waste your money on this product. If you buy it, you will need a towel or "Yogitoes."
Good Mat - E. Ingvalson - Pittsburgh, PA United States
It's as promised, a little on the thin side, but you get used to that. I think next time I'll spring for a thicker one, though.
