Yoga is about compassion and kindness, but it’s easy to overlook whether your yoga mat is kind to your body AND the planet. From cork to rubber or jute and upcycled materials, the yoga market is brimming with ethical mat brands. Unsure which to choose or really trust? Our Real Eco panel and Eco Living Editor Ellen Tout have tried and tested these top five mats and crowned them our Psychologies Real Eco award-winners. The mats are plastic free, vegan friendly, ethically made and – crucially – perfect for a sun salutation! Congratulations to our winners Form Fitness, Bliss Cloud, Carrot Banana Peach, Yogi Bare. And thanks to our wonderful testers. See psychologies.co.uk/real-eco and follow @ellen_tout
