What Features Does eKO Lite Have?
The natural surface of the mat is slightly sticky and thus prevents you from slipping during your yoga practices. It offers a comfortable yoga experience with its 4 mm thickness.
Thanks to its special structure that clings to the surface, your mat will not slip under you while you practice, and will remain fixed on the floor.
It has been tested in a laboratory environment to be stronger and more durable than all natural rubber mats on the market. Since it is a natural product, it will wear out over time, but the highest resistance will be in the eKO series compared to other rubber mats.
Product components are 99% latex-free.
eKO lite was developed as a result of 4 years of work by yoga instructors.
Since the mat is made of natural rubber, the mat should be maintained more frequently when used in very hot climates. Heat can cause the mat to dry out and lose its flexibility. For this reason, the mat should be stored properly, cleaned with rubber-compatible products and should never be left in the sun.
The natural structure of eKO mats makes them more delicate than synthetic mats. Therefore, for very intense yoga sessions, you can choose a mat from the more durable and durable Manduka PRO series.
All mats in the eKO series are produced from rubber harvested from trees growing outside the Amazon forests. This feature of environmentally friendly mats continues after their useful life ends. Recyclable and biodegradable mats are environmentally friendly in every aspect.
The surfaces of the mats, which offer superior grip, have a closed-cell structure. While this structure keeps the liquid out and prevents it from entering the mat, it becomes slippery in case of encountering dense liquid. If you sweat a lot, you can use a yoga mat towel to increase the performance and lifespan of your mat. The yoga mat towel will absorb sweat and prevent the surface of the mat from becoming slippery.
Do not wash eKO Lite in the machine or clean it with a vacuum cleaner. You can use Manduka's special natural cleaning solution to clean the mat.

Produced from natural rubber, eKO Lite is completely biodegradable. No toxic chemicals are used in the production process. No ingredient has been added to the product to increase the flexibility of rubber. Produced from rubber sustainably collected from trees outside the Amazon, eKOlite is a natural and environmentally friendly mat.
