    Choosing a good yoga mat

    Although most yoga mats look similar at first glance, there are many options in terms of material, length, width and thickness of the mat. Some yoga mats are suitable for any yoga style, while a PVC mat will slip away during a hot yoga class. Especially with dynamic forms of yoga, it is important that the mat offers grip, even with perspiration. For more static forms of yoga, wear-resistant materials are a better choice. Via the filters you will quickly find a yoga mat that meets your needs. Would you like to try the mat first? Feel free to visit one of our stores in Amsterdam for this.

    Below you will find more information about yoga mats made of natural rubber, PVC, wool and cork. For more detailed information, read our blog: How do you choose the right yoga mat ?

    Yoga mat natural rubber

    Yoga mat natural rubber

    Natural rubber offers a lot of grip and provides extra cushioning while performing the various exercises. The mats are slightly heavier, so that the corners do not curl up. A yoga mat made of natural rubber is a particularly environmentally friendly choice: you will not find any PVC or other harmful substances in the mat. This natural material does require special care. The rubber does not tolerate the sun well and dries out when exposed to high temperatures. At Yogisha you will find special products for cleaning your yoga mat that keep the mat in optimal condition.

     

     

    Yoga mat PVC

    Yoga mat PVC

    Yoga mats in studios are often made of polyvinyl chloride or PVC. A PVC yoga mat offers grip as long as it remains dry and is therefore also called a sticky yoga mat. However, these mats can become slippery with perspiration and are therefore a less good choice for intensive forms of yoga and hot yoga. You can easily take a PVC mat with you wherever you go: the flexible material is easy to roll up and does not tear. The material is even so strong that this type of mat can easily last a lifetime. PVC is easy to maintain, occasionally wiping it down with some soap and water or disinfectant is sufficient. These mats are also very suitable for outdoor yoga.

     

     

     

    Yoga mat TPE Yoga mat TPE

    TPE a synthetic rubber. The material is completely biodegradable, which makes a TPE yoga mat an ecological choice. These mats are softer than a PVC yoga mat. The material is also very light, so you can easily take the mat with you on the bike.

     

     

     

     

     

    Yoga mat wool Yoga mat wool

    This material is very suitable for practicing slow Yin yoga or Kundalini yoga or meditation. The body is extra supported by the soft wool, making it easier to maintain the different postures. The woolen yoga mats at Yogisha are made from 100% pure virgin wool. No chemical materials are used during the washing of the wool. The underside of the mat consists of 80% natural latex and prevents slipping.

     

     

     

     

    Yoga mat cork

    This natural material not only looks beautiful, but also offers extra grip during perspiration. The material becomes stiffer as it gets damp and thus ensures that your feet do not slip during a warrior pose and during the savanasa the soft cork offers extra support for the (lower) back and shoulders. A cork yoga mat is a sustainable choice: to extract the cork, only a part of the cork tree is used, which will grow back automatically after harvesting.

     

     

     

     

     

    Yoga mat organic cotton

    Yoga mat organic cotton

    Many thousands of years ago, the first yogis in India practiced yoga on cotton mats. This natural material feels pleasant and absorbs sweat, giving you more grip. Cotton mats are completely biodegradable and therefore an environmentally friendly choice. They are therefore especially nice to use as an extra layer on another yoga mat. The cotton yoga mats are easy to maintain: by washing them occasionally in the washing machine, you can enjoy a fresh mat again.

     

     

    Yoga towel made of recycled polyester

    With your own yoga towel made of recycled polyester, you can easily create a hygienic layer between you and the yoga mat in the yoga studio. In addition, the yoga towel offers extra grip because the special fabric absorbs sweat. Thanks to the silicone studs on the underside of the mat, the towel does not slip. Our sustainable towels consist of 42% recycled old plastic (PET), which makes this type of yoga mat a sustainable choice. You can easily clean the towel by washing it in the washing machine.

     

     

     

    Special yoga mats for different yoga styles

    While soft, thick yoga mats provide extra support for Yin yoga, you prefer a thinner mat with extra grip for an intensive Vinyasa flow. At Yogisha you will find yoga mats for every style of yoga. We have yoga mats that are suitable for practicing:

    • kundalini yoga
    • Hatha yoga
    • Iyengar yoga
    • Ashtanga yoga
    • Vinyasa yoga
    • Bikram yoga
    • Yin yoga

    Buy a thick or thin yoga mat?

    Most mats in studios have a thickness of 4 or 5 mm. Still, a thicker mat can be nice, for example for practicing quiet yoga styles. A thinner mat is nice for dynamic forms of yoga: a soft mat causes instability during balance exercises. By taking the advantages and disadvantages below into account, you always choose a yoga mat that suits your needs.

    Thick yoga mat

    AdvantagesCons
    Extra support for jointsNot foldable
    No problems with curling cornersHeavier

    Thin yoga mat

    AdvantagesCons

    Yoga mat with extra grip

    Every yogi has experienced it: while you are standing in a downward facing dog, your warm, sweaty hands slowly slide away. In the Yogisha range you will find special yoga mats with extra grip. Even if you perspire heavily, you can perform all your exercises.

    Maintenance of the yoga mat

    Mats made of plastic are easy to clean with mild soap or a mixture of vinegar and water. A mat made of a natural material such as cotton, rubber or cork often deserves special attention. You will find various special cleaning sprays at Yogisha for this purpose.

    Yoga mat with print

    In the extensive range of Yogisha you will find yoga mats in different colors and styles. From a mat with a neutral look to a brightly colored mat with a special print. For example, take a look at our yoga mats with alignment print , which you can use to check whether you are keeping the correct lines.

    Buy extra long yoga mat

    The standard size of a yoga mat is 60 x 180 cm. If you are wider or taller, a larger size is nice. That is why you will also find extra long and extra wide yoga mats in our range.

    Price of a yoga mat

    In the extensive range of Yogisha you will find yoga mats with different prices. For example, the price of a thin yoga mat for travel starts at € 19, while an extra long and wide rubber yoga mat costs € 185. Do you regularly practice yoga? Then don't save on purchasing a good mat. For example, with a high-quality PVC mat you can usually go on for a lifetime, or with a rubber mat you can enjoy never slipping away in your downward dog again.
