What’s the best material for a yoga mat?

The material affects both performance and sustainability. Natural rubber mats are eco-friendly, durable, and offer great grip, but they can be heavy. TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) mats are lightweight, non-toxic, and slightly softer. Cork mats provide a natural, anti-microbial surface

How thick should a yoga mat be?

Mat thickness impacts both comfort and stability. A standard mat is around 4mm thick, offering a good balance between cushioning and connection to the floor. If you have sensitive joints, a 6mm+ thick mat provides extra padding. For travel, thin mats (1-2mm) fold easily but offer less support

How do I choose the right yoga mat for my practice?

It depends on your yoga style and personal preferences! If you practice hot yoga, go for a non-slip, sweat-absorbing mat like one made from microfiber and natural rubber. For gentle yoga or meditation, a thicker, cushioned mat (6mm or more) provides extra comfort. If you need more stability for balance poses, opt for a grippy, dense mat (around 4mm thick).
