Description
A supportive 5mm jute yoga mat for everyday practice.
If you like the feel of a more natural, textured yoga mat, the Myga Aqua Jute Yoga Mat is a really nice step up from a basic exercise mat. The top surface is made using natural jute fibres, giving the mat a slightly textured feel that helps with grip during your practice. Underneath, the PVC base helps keep the mat stable against the floor.
At 5mm thick, there is enough cushioning to make kneeling, stretching and floor-based exercises comfortable without making the mat feel overly soft or unstable.
Its 183cm x 61cm size makes it suitable for everyday yoga, Pilates, stretching and general mobility work at home or in a studio. If you would prefer more space and alignment markings to help with positioning, have a look at our Myga Extra Large Yoga Alignment Mat.
Is a jute yoga mat good for beginners?
Yes. A jute yoga mat can be a really good choice for beginners, particularly if you prefer a textured surface rather than the smoother feel of a traditional PVC mat.
This Myga mat is 5mm thick, so it gives you a useful amount of cushioning for your knees, hands and other contact points while still feeling stable underneath you. The jute surface also provides natural texture and grip, which can help you feel more secure as you get used to different yoga positions. You do not need an expensive specialist mat when you first start. For general yoga, Pilates, stretching and home exercise, this is a very sensible place to begin.
What is a Jute Yoga Mat, and how does it compare to a standard PVC mat?
A jute yoga mat is mat crafted from natural fibers derived from the Corchorus plant. Unlike standard synthetic PVC mats. The Heat Bonded Natural Jute Fibres offer superior organic grip, naturally wicks away sweat, eliminates harsh chemical odours, and is fully biodegradable.
Jute fibers are exceptionally strong and resistant to tearing or stretching under pressure, giving the mat a longer lifespan than basic foam or PVC alternatives.
