Ruth White Yoga Products was one of the first UK suppliers of the non-slip sticky Yoga Mat in 1981. Our adult and childrens Oeko-Tex Yoga Mats have been the choice of many leading yoga institutes, clubs, schools, teachers and students for many years. All our Yoga Mats are manufactured to a very high standard by our German manufacturer, who specialises in sports matting.
All of our Oeko-Tex yoga mats are tested against harmful substances for skin contact (Oeko-Tex Standard 100, Product Class II) to ensure your safety (our certificate number is 04.0.9436) and covers articles which are worn or where there is significant direct contact with the skin. You can check the Oeko-Tex website for further information. Only good quality European Oeko-Tex yoga mats are subjected to this degree of quality control. We take this matter very seriously because there are an increasing number of cheap (and not so cheap) yoga mats which may well contain heavy metals, DOP softeners and other chemicals which would prevent them from receiving this accreditation. All Ruth White Oeko-Tex Yoga Mats are Latex Free.
All Ruth White Yoga mats are made in accordance with strict environmental regulations which minimise the impact of their production on the environment. This can only be said of EkoTex™ yoga mats made in Europe.
We currently stock 4 types of non-slip oeko-tex sticky yoga mats. The Ultra Black Mat is out thickest mat at 7mm. The Premier Mat is made to our specification, 67cm wide as opposed to 60cm wide and it comes in 4.5mm thickness. The Classic and Travel Mat are 60cm wide and are either 4.5mm or 2.5mm thick.
Most people choose either a Premier or Classic Yoga Mat (4.5mm thick) since they offer a good balance of cushioning and excellent grip whilst remaining easy to roll up, carry and wash. If you require an even thicker mat with maximum cushioning and support for knees, elbows, hip bones, spine and backs with excellent grip or are an Ashtanga, Power Yoga or Pilates practitioner we recommended the Ultra Black Yoga Mat (7mm thick).
Travel Yoga Mats are slightly thinner, good for feeling the firmness and stability of the floor in standing postures. The Travel mat can be folded to give extra padding if required and weigh less for taking away on holiday or just for the weekend
We now stock the Wai Lana Golden Earth EnviroMats in Purple and Pink. The ultimate eco-friendly yoga and pilates mat - do something good for yourself and the planet from Wai Lana Yoga. 100% biodegradable and recyclable, health-friendly (latex, PVC and chloride-free), suberb traction for maximum safety and soft surface for optimum comfort.
Not only is the EnviroMat recyclable at the end of its life, but all waste generated during production is immediately recycled afterward. No phthalate, toluene, or heavy metals have been used in any parts of the production process. Made from a revolutionary material, TPE (Thermal Plastic Elastomer) foam, this mat contains no PVC or latex so it's gentle on your health.
Made with a unique closed-cell form, Wai Lana's EnviroMat offers the superior cushioning, support, and protection you want. A specially designed patterned surface provides a soft, comfortable foundation and superb traction for optimum stability during exercise. The EnviroMat is also water and sweat-resistant, making it easy to wash and quick to dry.
At first you may find that the mat is a little slippery. This is due to the manufacturer's surface 'finish' on all mats. It soon wears off. You may want to wash your mat to speed up the process to wear your mat in.
All the Ruth White Yoga Mats (except the Ultra Black Mat) are machine washable at a low temperature (no more than 40°C) using a very small amount of washing detergent or you can wipe them down with a damp cloth. DO NOT tumble dry or put on a radiator to dry off. Allow lots of time to air dry and avoid folding or using your mat until it is completely dry, as this may shorten its life.
You can hand wash the Wai Lana Golden Earth EnviroMats, Wai Lana Yogi Mat, Little Yogis Mats and the OekoTex Ultra Black Yoga Mat with mild detergent. DO NOT TWIST. Roll your mat in a thick towel to squeeze out excess water and then hang your mat to air dry.
