No sheep left its life for this yoga mat.. Strong Karoo sheep fur, permanently bonded to a knitted back, makes this the lightest, fluffiest yoga accessory ever. In the long distant past, yogis meditated on bear or tiger skins.. Ah, we have come a long way since then. Use this when you travel, sit on it in the plane, or sleep on it in the depth of winter, and use it to seal your magnetic field when you practise and meditate. An occasional cool machine wash with Sunlight soap or Woolite keeps its super-galactic WAH-ness!
