Yoga rugs were originally used before what we all know now as a ‘yoga mat’ was used. The rug’s grip increases as it gets wetter, the opposite to a standard yoga mat! The rug is embroidered with each of the seven Chakras (energy centers within the body) to help keep you aligned as well as helping you concentrate on being:

Sahasrara – Fully Connected Spiritually
Ajna – Focused
Vishuddha – Communicative
Anahata – Loving
Manipura – Confident
Svadhishthana Connected
Muladhara – Rooted

.

The rug is often used with a standard yoga mat, placed underneath, to help keep the rug in place; we recommend our eco-friendly Evolution yoga mat, which is lightweight and non-absorbent.
