Review: Beinjoy AQUA Mat & Love Cushion Set

Beinjoy AQUA Mat & Love Cushion Set Review


A beautifully elegant, embossed yoga mat and cushion set that is earth loving, stylish, cushiony and effective.  Designed to give you the best yoga experience possible, this set is sure to strike up conversation if you are new in class.  Beinjoy, established in 2006, has created a unique, high quality yoga mat that is functional and gorgeous ... inspiring me to want to do more yoga with it's grace and charm.  One look at this set will create a desire to practice just to spend some time with this loving duo. 

Made from TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) this mat is safe if you are sensitive to latex and cannot use natural rubber.  TPE is easy to recycle, PVC free and latex free.  This designer mat and cushion are super thick and cushiony.  The Aqua Mat has a Koi swimming through flowing water with the word Harmony etched into it, the cushion has the word love.  I have never seen anything like them in all my life ... I am afraid to get them dirty.

The mat measures approximately 72”x24”x0.19” and it is 5mm thick, almost like having two mats and gluing them together.  If you like thick mats this one will make you happy.  I like to take it camping and sleep on it ... it is that soft.  It has a center line for proper alignment of the asanas, is light and easy to carry, has a pleasant & sticky surface and superior traction and grip. 

Both the cushion and the mat come with pretty ties to keep them rolled up.  This makes a great gift that has the potential to bring out the inner yogi in your loved ones or keep them on the yogic path.

Price:  $62.00
