But for yoga and home fitness, such models are not particularly good. On mats made of PPE the palms slip a lot, so when doing the same dog face down, you want to grab the edges to avoid falling.
Rubber
Rubber is a naturally occurring material that is made from the sap of the Brazilian Hevea tree. There are also several varieties of synthetic rubber, and manufacturers often do not specify which one is used.
Unless, of course, we are talking about an expensive brand that boasts about the eco-friendliness of its products. Such is the case with the Jade company from the USA, a favorite of many yogis, whose representatives claim that the mats are made of natural rubber, and from each sold product money is allocated for planting trees.
As a rule, mats made of this material lie tightly on the floor and well resist slipping, as well as do not stretch while performing poses. In addition, rubber models are often supplemented with special coatings, such as jute or cotton, which makes them even more natural looking and pleasant to the touch.
