yoga mats: Non-Slip Yoga Mats

Developed in India, yoga is a spiritual practice that has been evolving for the last 5,000 years or so. The original yogis were reacting, in part, to India's ancient Vedic religion, which emphasized rituals. The yogis wanted a direct spiritual experience -- one on one -- not symbolic ritual. So they developed yoga. Yoga means "union" in Sanskrit, the classical language of India.

According to the yogis, true happiness, liberation and enlightenment comes from union with the divine consciousness known as Brahman, or with Atman, the transcendent Self. The various yoga practices are a methodology for reaching that goal. In hatha yoga, for example, postures and breathing exercises help purify the mind, body and spirit so the yogi can attain union.
After many requests, we’ve recently added Thick, Non-Slip Yoga Mats to our range of products at Zenthings.com, with:
High quality closed-cell PVC vinyl giving the mat a soft cushioning effect. (100% latex free). These mats are manufactured using a process which introduces tiny bubbles in the PVC based material, providing the ‘sticky effect’. Some other mats use latex base and add a coating which wears off over time.
Mats strictly meet EU manufacturing standards (CE mark).
Internal, center threading gives this mat exceptional strength and durability against tearing.
The mats measure 172cm x 61cm (68inches x 24inches) and at 5.5mm (1/4 inch), are of a thicker texture than regular mats.
Mats are available in a deep-purple or dark-blue colour.
