i’m gonna keep it real- i’m not much of a yoga person. i did a lot of it in college (courtesy of this video), but seemed to lose track of anything fitness related when i moved to new york. but if i did head to yoga class on a regular basis, i would consider picking up one of jill malek’s new yoga mats. jill partnered with yogamatic.com to create this line of eco-friendly, biodegradable mats based on her ‘frequencies’ wallpaper patterns. if you want to pick one up (the mats sell for $85) just click here to shop on jill’s website.

Beautiful. Now when they tell me to soften my gaze, it will soften much more easily from looking at pretty patterns.
haha! i had the pilates for dummies video in college. that link made me laugh. cute mats!!
They are beautiful, but $85 for a yoga mat? I don’t think I could justify that even if I could afford it.
Yes. Thank you. I have been looking for a nice looking yoga mat to use with my wii fit, that I could leave out and it wouldn’t look horrendous.
So pretty! I adore Jill’s work. Seems like a luxury indeed.
wow I really love these….
$85 is sort of insane. While they are nice to look at the idea of a yoga class becoming the site of a fashion show is depressing.
Hi Guys! I know that the cost sounds really high for a yoga mat. The reason they are so expensive is that they are not made with that harmful pvc vinyl that cost about $20—these mats are a completely degradable product that cost a bit more to produce than the typical mats out there. When you think about, most high-end mats are $50..these mats come with a protective bag, are cleanable, do no store bacteria, AND have custom solvent-free inks printed on them. You can read more about the product on yogamatic.com!
i love these yoga mats! they are beautiful and it’s nice to know that if you accidentally lick your mat during downward dog you won’t be poisoned, ha. seriously though, i think they are gorgeous and definitely worth the cost.
It is really nice that they’re not as harmful as typical mats (mine freaks me out a little), but I don’t know if I like the idea of printed mats. I like the simplicity of the yoga studio – solid, neutral colors help me focus, patterns usually set me daydreaming. It’d be fine to say that’s just my issue, but yoga space is almost always shared space – I’d hate to bring fashion statement and distraction in there.
what a fabulous idea. i think i will go stencil my yoga mat myself!
I think these are lovely, and restful. Love that they are 100% biodegradable, too…and when I factor that in, with how pretty they are, AND they come with a bag, too? Not that ridiculous, actually.
