Choose the right yoga mat for your gym & yoga class

Here we have listed some general things to consider when choosing a yoga mat to bring to the gym or yoga class:

  • Thin & light 
  • Good grip
  • Good cushion 
  • Adapted to your yoga form

In some yoga forms, the grip is the most crucial thing to make you happy with your yoga mat. Below you can read which yoga mats we recommend for different types of yoga.

We recommend a thinner yoga mat which will allow you to get closer to the floor and maintain your balance more easily. The mat also needs to be durable so that it lasts over time. A perfect choice is our best-in-test winner Grip&Cushion Yoga Mat.
