What is the best Yoga mat to buy?
Hi!
So I’ve been looking for ages for the best Yoga mat to buy—but can’t make a decision! I like Gaiam, but I also want to know what other people think.
In your opinion, what is the best Yoga mat to buy if you practice Hatha Yoga? I would love a mat that has a nice design but doesn’t wear easily.
Thank you so much! Kayla
I’ve had probably a half dozen through the years, and honestly, after a washing or two I couldn’t tell you the differences between them….and most of them gave me a few hundred hours of time.
I will say this though – the natural jute and rubber ones have a real peculiar smell that took about 6 months to fade…and it crumbled….and got everywhere. Which was really a shame because I was hoping to have one that was environrmentally freindly.
For hatha yoga you really don’t need to worry about being picky – you don’t need features like absorbency like you would if you were practicing vinyasa or ashtanga, same with extra sticky, etc. And I found that thicker ones – while sounding like a good idea because I’m scrawny and hate sitting on my hip bones, actually made it more difficult to balance on one foot, and “squished” more, making my hands and feet less stable.
As far as brands, I really don’t have any preference…
Find on that appeals to you – and take a look on Ebay – because they are usually priced very well there.
