Fear not. We\u2019ve got you. There are six key criteria everyone should consider before deciding what mat to buy.<\/p>\n<p>Just like the number of yoga and exercising styles may seem overwhelming, so can the sheer variety of mats. But with the right guidance, picking a mat is easy.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Here it goes. Let\u2019s choose a yoga mat that\u2019s right for you:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>1. Type of exercise or yoga<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>More dynamic exercises and yoga like Ashtanga, <a href=\"https:\/\/nayavita.com\/yoga\/vinyasa-yoga-the-symphony-of-breath-and-movement\/?lang=en\">Vinyasa<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/nayavita.com\/yoga\/hot-yoga-what-it-is-benefits-and-how-to-get-started\/?lang=en\">Hot Yoga<\/a> are better suited for absorbent mats with an extra grip. Among natural materials,\u00a0cork provides a naturally grippy surface, performs well even with moisture, and is generally well tolerated by sensitive skin. It\u2019s also super easy to maintain, making it a very popular choice. Vegan Suede mats from recycled microfiber is a suitable alternative. Faux suede is super absorbent, anti-slip (faux suede is highly absorbent and tends to provide better grip as moisture increases during practice), and when you\u2019re done, for regular care, simply wipe your mat with a clean cloth, or occasionally hand wash if needed. If you do Hot Yoga, consider a yoga towel or suede travel mat\u00a0that fulfils the same function.<\/p>\n<p>Less dynamic exercises, stretching, <a href=\"https:\/\/nayavita.com\/yoga\/what-is-yin-yoga-and-is-it-good-for-you\/?lang=en\">Yin Yoga<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/nayavita.com\/yoga\/hatha-yoga-the-path-to-balance-of-body-and-mind\/?lang=en\">Hatha Yoga<\/a> don\u2019t require a specific mat. For less dynamic practices, a basic mat is often sufficient, as long as it provides enough grip and stability. Here you can let your visual preference guide your choices. Although when it comes to Yin Yoga where you hold positions for prolonged periods of time, digging your bones into the ground, mat thickness is an important factor. Thicker mats provide better comfort during Yin Yoga.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Material and sustainability<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Material determines mat properties, ease of maintenance, sustainability aspects, and also plays a role in personal comfort and sensitivity.<\/p>\n<p>If you, like us, find sustainability important, go with natural and \/ or recycled materials.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nayavita.com\/yoga\/sustainable-cork-yoga-mats\/?lang=en\">Cork<\/a>, rubber, jute, cotton, as well as\u00a0vegan suede are all great options. If sustainability matters to you, you may want to consider whether the mat is biodegradable or recyclable.<\/p>\n<p>The alternative is to go less eco and more synthetic like PVC, TPE and PU. PVC is durable and widely used, but its production and disposal are generally associated with a higher environmental impact compared to natural materials.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Your physique<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>To start with, the length of your mat should be enough to support you during savasana and lying down positions. Most standard mats are between 171 \u2013 183cm long, although few brands offer extra long options.<\/p>\n<p>Then there is thickness.\u00a0Thinner mats provide minimal cushioning between you and the floor. Pre-existing conditions like joint problems should also be taken into account when deciding how to choose a yoga mat. If you have joint sensitivity, you may prefer mats with 3 mm thickness or more for added cushioning.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>4. Where you exercise<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Where you exercise is important. Home practice is logistically straightforward, and you can consider thicker and heavier mats, if that\u2019s what you like.<\/p>\n<p>Studio nomads, outdoors enthusiasts and travellers might want to select thinner and lighter\u00a0travel mat, especially when they come with their own pouch or a bag for extra portability.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>5. Your style and aesthetics<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that our environment impacts how we feel and think, so underestimating yoga mat aesthetics is not advisable. Surrounding yourself with an environment you enjoy can positively influence how you feel during your practice. It\u2019s not a coincidence that our NAYAVITA YOGA motto, is<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2>\u00a0<em>For the goddess in studio and out<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4><strong>6. Your budget<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If your budget is limited, or you are just starting out and not sure if exercising is your jam, Amazon, AliExpress and Decathlon all have mats for as little as \u20ac10. If, on the other hand, you want to treat yourself to a mat that truly fits your needs and supports your practice, prices can climb up to four figures.<\/p>\n<p>Higher prices don\u2019t always mean better quality, although it is often the case. That doesn\u2019t mean that you need to blow up your budget on an overpriced mat where you pay premium for the brand. Many boutique stores like\u00a0NAYAVITA YOGA offer original, well-designed mats that combine functionality, comfort and aesthetics at accessible prices.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Mat comparison<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hopefully these six criteria shed some light on how to choose a yoga mat that\u2019s right for you.
