Yoga Mat Reviews

There is an incredible selection of yoga mats out there. So many different materials, thicknesses and styles that it can be difficult to make a choice. Below I have listed mats I have personally owned along with a brief review for each.




Gaiam

The Gaiam Print yoga mats are by far some of the most attractive mats out there. I have two of them with different designs and they remain among my favorites. These are just 3mm thick, so don't expect much padding. Full Review

Hugger Mugger

There is nothing like an original and the Hugger Mugger Tapas really was the first yoga mat. I purchased these mats in large rolls and cut them apart for student mats. These mats last and last. Full Review
