Cotton Yoga Rug

Love this yoga rug! Purchased this to use outdoors, rather than my regular yoga mat, but find it great for indoors over my mat, too. I ordered the Red Rock and the colors are just beautiful.

I love the idea of using a natural fibers. It's perfect for class...

This mat works well on carpets. My rubber mat kept scrunching up throughout the practice. Colors are nice too.

I love these rugs and I have several of them. They add extra traction for Hot and Vinyasa style yoga. If you're looking for a little extra cushion, they can be used in conjunction with any style yoga mat (and at 74", they totally cover most). They rugs themselves are beautiful, durable, and thick--they feel good to the feet. No matter if you do yoga on a thick mat or thin, rubber, or poly, or just on the bare floor--each type of surface is going to give you a different type of "feedback" in your practice. These can be used alone of course, but having them also allows you to pair them with differing mats which creates a unique feedback for each paring. I find that very valuable. Finally, these rugs are washable. I wash them with an agitator free washer with 1/2 the amount of detergent I would use on a similar size item. When you wash them the first time, IF colors bleed (only once for me), just scrub the effected area with detergent and wash them again. I always hang dry. Hugger Mugger has excellent products across the board! I've never gotten a sub-par product from them and they have excellent customer service!

The mat is less slippery when made slightly damp before use. Great for practice. I have told multiple people where to get it.

Customer Service is the BEST!

This is a beautiful rug that encourages proper practice/aligñment and grace in it's aging. Easy to wash and kind to the skin. Weighs no more that a sticky mat without the expense of unproven material. I started practicing before the advent of sticky mats. I've owned many, watched them disintegrate and tended the skin infections. So happy to be on a traditional cotton mat. Looking forward to seeing how it wears over time.

I practice Bikram Yoga. Sweat a lot, have to wash it each time I use it. Says I should hand wash, but I wash it on delicate cycle. Hang dry, then fluff it up in the dryer.

I love practicing on my cotton mat when I'm doing a slower practice with loads of props. Something about its beautiful colors and texture makes me want to hold poses longer, especially luxurious seated poses. I don't sweat enough to use it for fast vinyasa, but I've moved through slower vinyasa on this mat. Because it's not grippy unless you're sweaty, I find myself being more mindful about the way I transition between poses.
