How to Choose the Right Yoga Mat

Yoga mats are essential for any practitioner. But how do you know which one to choose?

First off, thickness of the mat is important. A thin mat offers little in the way of support, but is lightweight and easy to transport. A thin mat is usually about 1/16 of an inch thick. Another plus of a thin mat is that they are helpful when practicing balance-focused poses, as you are close to the firm ground when attempting them.

If you are looking for a thick mat, you’ll likely see one that’s about ¼ of an inch thick. These types of mats are perfect for supporting your back support when working your core muscles or doing other poses that really keep you connected to the ground.

If you’re looking for a mat that’s in the middle and offers support and benefits of both a thick and thin mat, look for that happy middle ground! A 1/8-inch thick mat is perfect for you!

Other factors to consider, outside of thickness, include what material the mat is made of, and the texture that the mat provides. Yoga mats can be made of many different materials, including vinyl and rubber. Both last a long time, but their feel can differ, so choosing the right one is a matter of personal preference. As for texture, most mats provide a squishy, bumpy surface. This is to aid in traction as you perspire. If a bumpy surface isn’t your thing, look for smooth mats that have built-in, moisture-managing properties.
