Yoga and environmental consciousness go hand in hand, which is one reason the Hugger Mugger Terra Tapas mat is such a find. The first of its kind, the mat combines the quality and performance of the company's Tapas sticky mats with a more eco-friendly manufacturing process that uses less energy than competing methods. The result is a mat that leaves a minimal carbon footprint without sacrificing style or functionality. The mat also boasts an antimicrobial design, with no heavy metals or phthalates used in its construction. Instead, more than 25 percent of the Terra Tapas mat is made of plant-based materials, a soon-to-be green-certified process. The mat, which measures an extra-long 72 by 24 inches, comes in a leaf green color.

About Hugger Mugger
Sara Chambers, founder of Hugger-Mugger, was an accomplished woodworker when she came to yoga. Its tremendous impact on her health made yoga a way of life for Sara. She began developing wooden and fabric tools to help with her practice. Local teachers and students asked Sara to make things for them, and word spread. Sara continued to develop products for fellow yogis, including the company’s namesake, Hugger-Muggers, the now-famous unisex yoga shorts with a legband around the thighs to cover what’s underneath. Since the word hugger-mugger means to conceal, the catchy name Hugger-Mugger fit.

Among Hugger-Mugger's most noted designs is the Tapas Sticky Mat, which has become the yoga practice essential. Predecessor mats were not designed specifically for yoga and would deteriorate quickly with us. The Tapas Sticky Mat was the first long-term performance yoga mat and continues to set the standards for the industry.

For more than 20 years, Hugger-Mugger has been known as an innovator of technically excellent yoga products serving yoga teachers and students throughout the world. Hugger-Mugger is committed to developing products of performance, style, and comfort. The company strongly believes in the benefits of the practices of yoga and meditation.

Huger Mugger, an innovator and top manufacturer in quality Yoga Products for over 20 years is proud to announce the Tapas Terra® Yoga Mat. This new mat is the first of its kind and combines the quality and performance of a Tapas Sticky¿ Mat with a more Eco-Friendly manufacturing process. In fact, 25% of the mat is plant based! Yoga practitioners no longer have to choose between performance and a green lifestyle.
