10 things to do with yoga mats.

Those Latex and PVC mats that you use to reach Nirvana are doing nothing for Mother Earth or your local landfill. So what can you do with old yoga mats?

1. Donate them to homeless shelters

2. Donate them to animal shelters as cage liners

3. Cut them up and use them under furniture

4. Make Yoga Ornaments out of them

5. Make purses and bags out of them

6. Cut smaller and make baby changing pads

7. Line your drawers and cabinets for a no slip surface

8. Cut and use as package padding between plates and dishes when storing or moving (watch excessive heat or long term storage color leaching)

9. Donate to schools for use in craft projects

10. Cut and use in sports training classes (like vinyl circles)

The possibilities are endless, look for more information at http://skyyogastudio.com
