This is for all the Yogis out there. I found this awesome mat that is incredibly good for the environment - thought I'd give you a heads up. It's made from the Pará rubber tree and is completely biodegradable. Most know that Yoga mats don't last very long and are often thrown away. Here's one of the many solutions to that! -JA
