Yoga Mat Round Up

If I knew now what I knew my first time practicing yoga back in the 90s, I would have saved so much money on the yoga mats I thought were good. I used to have a closet full of mats that never held up very well. Everyone has individual needs and preferences when practicing yoga; but comfort should be the number one priority.

A mat is one of the most important tools when practicing yoga. You don’t want to feel your knees digging into the floor during downward dog, or like your participating on the slip & slide at your son’s birthday party! These are a few mats that I find extremely supportive, comfortable and helpful when practicing all types of yoga.
