Jade Yoga

Jade Yoga is an American yoga equipment company founded in 2002 and based in the United States. The brand is particularly respected for its environmental commitment — for every mat sold, Jade plants a tree in partnership with Trees for the Future. Since their founding, this program has resulted in millions of trees planted.

The Jade Mat

Jade's signature product is their natural rubber yoga mat, made from sustainably tapped rubber. Key characteristics:

• Material: Open-cell natural rubber
• Grip: Exceptional — among the best available, particularly excellent when wet
• Thickness: Available in multiple thicknesses (3mm, 4.7mm, 5mm, 6mm)
• Weight: Moderate to heavy depending on thickness
• Smell: New Jade mats have a distinctive natural rubber smell that fades with use and airing

Environmental Commitment

Jade uses Malaysian natural rubber (non-Amazon), does not use ozone-depleting substances in manufacturing, and the tree-planting program offsets the carbon footprint of each mat. The brand is frequently cited as among the most environmentally responsible yoga mat manufacturers.
