Yoga Mats, look simple but getting the right Yoga Mat can be vital to your Yoga practice.

You are going to be spending time with your yoga mat, so getting the right one can help right from the start. The main qualities you should be looking for in a yoga mats include:

Thickness: Naturally the thicker the mat, the more padding for your joints. If you suffer from sore joints going for a thicker mat may be a good option. Remember to thick and you may feel you are losing connection with the floor.

Stickiness: There is nothing worse than worrying about your hands/feet slipping when practicing your asanas. Unfortunately the traditional sticky mat is generally thin and doesn't offer much in the way of padding. Have a look at the Premium Sticky Yoga Mat as this is the best of both worlds

One solution is to use a softer padded mat in conjunction with a sticky mat, there are thicker versions of sticky mats being produced now though.

Another option is to use a cotton practice rug instead of a sticky mat, this can still help stop hands/feet slipping. It can also help absorb perspiration and act as a blanket at the end of your practice.

If buying a mat it would be a good idea to buy a yoga mat bag at the same time to help protect the mat. Somesuppliers provide kits with everything you need
