As a yogi, you may already realize that what you do on the mat can have a profound impact beyond the mat. But what if the mat itself made a difference? Well, Jade Yoga‘s eco-friendly, American-made rubber mats are reason enough to celebrate, but the brand doesn’t stop there. For every mat purchased, Jade Yoga will plant a tree through its partnership with Trees for the Future. Here, Jeremy and Aris visit the environmental organization to discover how it helps combats hunger and poverty.
