The Ashtanga Yoga Productions (AYP) Gecko Mat created by David Swenson is composed of the strongest, most durable, latex-free materials. It is an efficient tool for practice, weighing 30% less than comparable mats. The Gecko Mat provides incredible durability, support, and grip!

This mat measures 26 inches wide, 74 inches long, has a width of 5 mm and weighs only 5 lbs.

"Around the world I've heard practitioners talking about their yoga mats. I hear the same story again and again. The really durable mats give great support but are too heavy to carry around. The lighter mats are easier to carry but they don't provide good support, and they tend to fall apart. I thought there must be a way to have both durability and efficiency. After much research I came up with what I believe to be the perfect balance. The Gecko Mat! Why call it a Gecko Mat? In trying to think of a name that would convey the mat's qualities of grip and support, the image of a Gecko lizard popped into my mind. Geckos can climb on anything and be completely at ease, and they are really cute! So was born The Gecko Mat." - David Swenson

Tips for "breaking in" your Gecko Mat: Daily use of your mat is the best way to break it in. You can also leave the mat in sunshine for an afternoon or scrub it with a sponge and a mixture of water and sea salt.
