JadeYoga Fusion 74"

The Jade Fusion 74" yoga mat offers the same ultra-comfortable 5/16" thickness and strong grip as the 68" version, but with extra length for taller practitioners. Ideal for those seeking durability and comfort, it's crafted from natural rubber, making it a perfect choice for eco-conscious yogis.

Gaiam Classic Print 4mm

The Gaiam Classic Print is the archetypal sticky PVC mat, and at 4mm and 2.1 pounds it is the thinnest and lightest Gaiam we carry. The textured surface delivers the reliable dry grip PVC is known for, and the 68 by 24 inch cut is Gaiam's standard size, sold in a rotating set of printed colorways. It is latex-free, made without the six most restricted phthalates and covered by Gaiam's lifetime guarantee, though Gaiam itself warns that printed mats arrive with a strong odor and need two or three days of airing out.
