Hey yoga lovers,

I just discovered this Beinjoy yoga mat with unique matching cushion at the Green Expo. I've been using it in class and it's one of the best yoga mats I've ever used!

Everything a beginner or experienced professional needs

2008-11-27T22:42:00.000-08:00

I have been using my mat for nearly a month and couldn't be more satisfied. The Beinjoy mat is everything a beginner or experienced professional needs to practice yoga, which is why I've already told both of my teachers about the company.

I've also had nice comments and 'Where can I get one?'s from others. I am more than willing to tell others where it's from and hopefully they will turn to Beinjoy in the future. I know where I will go if I need this one of a kind product.

Best mat I've had in 30+ years of teaching Yoga!!!

2008-04-20T23:50:00.000-07:00

Hi. This is a fantastic yoga mat. The gray side is perfect for standing postures; cushioned and sticky enough to provide great footing. The lavender side is equally good for sitting postures---very comfortable. I love the idea of the line down the middle of the mat to allow good alignment.

I have used the mat in all of my classes and my students repeatedly inquire about them.

Thank you --- best mat I've had in 30+ years of teaching Yoga!!!

What a wonderful find!

2008-04-14T19:00:00.000-07:00

What a wonderful find! I just HAVE to share my good fortune. Anyone who may be looking for the perfect yoga mat can officially end their search. Think it sounds too good to be true? Think again. Think you've already got the perfect yoga mat? Think again...

I was lucky enough to receive this mat as a gift from a friend. I wasn't even on the market for a new one. I had my ordinary mat which I did yoga on. But this one is outstanding...I can't believe how comfortable it is. Now I do all my exercises on this mat, not just yoga. I do my pilates and even my meditating on it.

I absolutely love it.

"Never, ever go back"

2008-04-02T10:00:00.000-07:00

My Beinjoy mat has changed my yoga practice forever! I love it! After using it only once I was completely hooked. It is the most comfortable mat I have ever used, and I will never, ever go back to a “regular” yoga mat! The center line guide is fantastic, and has really helped me with my standing poses. Thank you Beinjoy!

"Absolutely Elegant--Functionality, Beauty, Quality, Sustainability"

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!

"A Welcomed Addition"

2008-03-10T03:15:00.000-07:00

I use the Mat and Cushion on some of the more advanced asana's I do, and it really does help tremendously!

It's not always easy to make the time to connect with your body, for that reason being an urban Yogi can be a balancing act...

Beinjoy cushions are small, comfortable, and easier to use than fumbling with a blanket for joint support.

I recommend it to my students to protect their knees and elbows, and it is a welcomed addition to my practice.

Wahe Guru!

"A great yoga mat without the use of PVC"

2008-02-22T00:25:00.000-08:00

I love your product. It is very refreshing to know that a company out there has found a way to make a great yoga mat without the use of PVC; it is thicker than others I've had and it is so pretty, too :) I absolutely love it! Thank you.

"I enjoy the feel of the mat"

2008-02-13T01:24:00.000-08:00

I've never done yoga before. I'm an avid gym person. When I saw the Beinjoy yoga mat at my friend's house, I was inspired to try it. I enjoy the feel of the mat under my feet. It doesn't slip. I'm starting to practice yoga now and Beinjoy is my mat of choice.

"So beautifully designed"

2008-02-12T00:01:00.000-08:00

A friend of mine got me a Beinjoy yoga mat set for my birthday. It's so nicely made and packaged! I found out about it from momfinds.com. I liked that the mat and cushion set are eco-friendly.

I love my yoga mat, it's so beautifully designed. Plus the center-line guide helps with my pose alignment. I love using the cushion as a pillow during shavasana, too.

Thanks Beinjoy!

"I totally recommend it!"

2007-11-07T23:43:00.000-08:00

It's EXTREMELY nice and VERY high quality. Not unlike those inferior low quality $10-30 mats. [I] just used it for yoga & meditation classes yesterday - my instructor could not stop raving about it! The word LOVE is perfectly imprinted at the top to enjoy & absorb in mind while in downward gaze, downward dog, chattaranga, etc. The little cushion is really amazing for propping you up perfectly for sitting in tripod...I totally recommend it!!!

"Inspires me to do more yoga!"

2007-10-13T00:00:00.000-07:00

I've been doing yoga for years and this is the best yoga mat that I've ever had! It makes me happy. When I see the word love, it inspires me to love my body. It actually inspires me to do more yoga! When I do poses, I feel supported by the thickness. It feels so much nicer than other mats I've had in the past. I highly recommend the Beinjoy yoga mat and cushion because it inspires me, motivates me and supports my body!

I have found the highest quality, most comfortable yoga mat in the world! The Beinjoy yoga mat is so amazing! I have been using mine every day for a week and I can honestly say it (is) the BEST out there right now. They are also beautiful. The artwork is inspiring alone!
