Sustainability
The Block Print Restorative Yoga Mat with Towel and Carrying Case is a sustainable choice for those looking to enhance their yoga practice while supporting artisanal craftsmanship. Handcrafted in India, each mat is made using traditional block printing techniques, an eco-friendly process that minimizes waste. The use of cotton for the mat's fill and fabric not only provides a comfortable and supportive surface but is also biodegradable and renewable. The included carrying case and towel, made from the same materials, ensure convenience while reducing the need for single-use plastic alternatives.
By supporting artisans in Jaipur, the mat helps preserve a centuries-old craft, ensuring that the environment and local communities benefit from sustainable practices.
Block Printing Tradition
Jaipur, India, is renowned for its traditional block printing, a centuries-old craft that involves intricately carved wooden blocks to create stunning patterns on fabric. Artisans in Jaipur skillfully hand stamp these blocks onto textiles, producing vibrant and detailed designs. The process often involves a meticulous arrangement of blocks, precise color application, and repeated impressions to achieve the final masterpiece. Jaipur's block printing is celebrated for its rich heritage, vibrant colors, and quality.
