Absolutely Elegant--Functionality, Beauty, Quality, Sustainability.
I am beyond thrilled at my new BeInJoy yoga mat and cushion sets. I teach 12 yoga classes every week in the East San Francisco Bay Area and use two mats in a cross for demonstrating asanas. I had used a number of inexpensive mats and had been testing out a Gaiam rubber mat for grip and sustainability when I learned about BeInJoy.
The BeInJoy mats exude elegance in yoga; beauty, creativity, sustainability, functionality. The BeInJoy mats are half the weight and twice the cushioning as other high quality mats. The rubber mat is tested was not only heavy--rolling a rubber mat is like trying to roll a dead fish. The BeInJoy mats have a wonderful surface which grips well --even if I'm sweating--without being rough. I use the embossed vertical line in each class. I had no idea how helpful it would be in demonstrating pose alignment and supporting alignment in my own practice.
The BeInJoy mats are so very beautiful in every detail, including the little Chinese-knot ties, the unique Asian floral art and even the embossed stamp. Very feminine, very elegant. feel good on them knowing that...one fine day, when they are completely used up, they will easily bio-degrade. I use the cushion for a prop when sitting, as a yoga brick, as a pad under my knees or hands, under my back for a supported restorative backbend (I have a narrow back.). I think it could be used as a light, portable bolster when rolled up.
It's obvious that the creators of BeInJoy care deeply about yoga and yoga practitioners. They have gone to extraordinary measures to create a mat that really works. I so want to see more products of this quality, beauty and sustainability. I support people who support me, my students and the practice of yoga.
If people comment that the mat is expensive, I invite them to compare the cost of a pair of track shoes, golf clubs or a tennis racket or even a sweater. Most of all, your mat is where you come home to yourself in your practice. You deserve excellence, beauty, great function and support to...BeInJoy!
