PICKING YOUR YOGA MAT.

3/24/2017

Whether you're looking for a new mat or just another one to add to your collection...
You've come to the right place (baby not included... haha).

Looking for the right yoga mat is serious business. Having a good and sturdy mat for your personal practice is important! It is your foundation. It is like walking out into the snow in sandals verses some warm, dry boots... it makes all the difference! Being on your mat is your happy place. It is the place where you want to be the most comfortable. You need to be so comfortable that you are willing to leave the world behind you so you can just focus on yourself. Your mat can become your oasis, your getaway, and your paradise. Not only does it need to be comfortable, but it needs to be durable, long lasting, and easy to clean (especially when you're sharing it with those little ones).

When looking for a mat with these qualities, you really cannot go wrong with Hugger Mugger. I love all of their mats but the two below are my most favorites. Having a sturdy mat has changed my personal practice. I have fallen in love, and I look forward to stepping onto it everyday... no joke!

Hugger Mugger Tapas Ultra Mat (74-Inch, Burgundy)

I have been through a lot of different yoga mats, but I fell in love with this one right away. This is the one I tote around with me everywhere. It has a lot of grip, it is nice and thick, and it comes in difference sizes.

Hugger Mugger Ultimate Comfort Mat

This mat is another favorite! It is absolutely to die for, and it's thickness is out of this world. It is a non-slip memory foam mat, antimicrobial, and is also eco-friendly.

Here are a couple other mats that have come highly recommended by other yogis. I have tried out these mats and loved them as well. I would say the main difference between these two and the two above from Hugger Mugger is the thickness. Some yogis like to feel the ground more during their practice. Others (like me), like to have more of a padding there between them and the ground. It is really up to you... It's all about your personal preference.
