Consistency in your yoga practice and health and wellness journey calls for a reliable yoga mat. I’m a decades-long yoga practitioner and a former chronic buyer of cheap yoga mats, and while yoga may be one of the most accessible forms of exercise (because you can practice it nearly anywhere), finding the best yoga mat for your flow can make all the difference in turning an occasional hobby into a fulfilling lifestyle, as I know from experience.
When choosing a yoga mat, prioritize your comfort by selecting the right thickness and length for you. It’s also important to choose a model that offers excellent grip, is easy to clean (how to clean a yoga mat varies by its material and design) and isn’t a burden to carry.
With numerous options available online and in stores, selecting the best yoga mat can be mildly overwhelming. But take a deep breath and sigh it out; I cat-cowed, vinyasa-ed and crow-posed on eight of the highest-rated mats from top brands like Lululemon, Jade Yoga and Bala to find the best ones for every type of practice, from beginner to advanced to hot yoga.
