When it comes to yoga, one thing is non-negotiable: grip. Whether you’re deep in a warrior flow or finding stillness in downward dog, the last thing you want is to slip on your mat. A solid, stable foundation can change everything about your practice. That’s why more eco-conscious yogis are making the switch to ECO-PU mats, an innovative blend of performance and sustainability.
At Gayo, we’ve seen first-hand how the right mat transforms not just your poses but your mindset. Our Eco-Friendly Non-Slip Yoga Mat 4mm and Eco-Balance Yoga Mat 5mm were designed with this exact philosophy in mind. Both feature high-quality ECO-PU material, offering unbeatable grip while keeping your values and the planet in mind.
Let’s break down why ECO-PU might just be the upgrade your practice has been waiting for.
What is ECO-PU?
ECO-PU stands for eco-friendly polyurethane, a material that offers the performance benefits of traditional PU mats but with a lower environmental impact. It’s free from harmful chemicals like PVC, heavy metals, and latex, making it safer for your skin and more aligned with a sustainable yoga lifestyle.
Unlike rubber-based mats that can feel too soft or cork mats that might not suit everyone’s grip preference, ECO-PU gives you that "sticky" feel without being overly rigid. It offers the perfect balance between cushion and support, giving you a responsive, non-slip surface from your first inhale to your final savasana.
Why Grip Matters More Than You Think
Grip isn’t just about safety. It’s about confidence. Slippery mats can disrupt your alignment, affect your posture, and honestly, steal your focus. If you’ve ever hesitated to go deeper into a pose because your hands or feet felt like they were sliding, you already know how limiting that can be.
With an ECO-PU mat, you get a grippy surface that responds to your movement. The more you sweat, the better it performs, making it an ideal companion for hot yoga, vinyasa flows, or even dynamic home practices. It supports you in the moments when your body is working hardest.

Eco-Friendly Without Compromise
In the past, choosing eco-conscious yoga gear often meant giving up on comfort or performance. Not anymore.
Our Eco-Friendly Non-Slip Yoga Mat 4mm is a great pick if you’re looking for something lightweight and portable without losing any of the grip. It’s perfect for daily flows, studio practice, or travel. Meanwhile, the Eco-Balance Yoga Mat 5mm offers a bit more cushioning, great for yogis with sensitive joints or anyone who wants that extra layer of support.
Both are made with high-density ECO-PU and natural rubber backing to provide durability, comfort, and the grounding stability your practice deserves.
Easy to Clean, Built to Last
Let’s be real. Some mats absorb sweat and never quite smell the same again. ECO-PU mats are designed to be low-maintenance. With a closed-cell surface, they don’t absorb moisture, meaning you can wipe them down easily after practice. No need for harsh cleaners or constant scrubbing.
Because they’re resistant to wear and tear, they hold up well over time. If you’re someone who practices daily or multiple times a week, this mat is built to keep up with you.
Designed for Every Body
At Gayo, we believe in gear that works for all types of bodies and all styles of practice. That’s why our ECO-PU mats come in a generously wide and long cut, giving you more room to move freely. They lay flat right out of the box without curling corners or a break-in period.
Whether you’re working on inversions, restorative stretches, or a quick 20-minute flow, this mat adapts to your needs. And for teachers, wellness coaches, and studio owners, they also make a fantastic in-studio option for students who need both grip and comfort.
Gayo’s Commitment to Eco-Conscious Living
Beyond the mat, Gayo is committed to mindful movement and sustainable choices. We don’t believe in “fast yoga.” We believe in intentional living. From our packaging to our product materials, we’re working to reduce waste and inspire conscious consumer choices.
