Beautiful Yoga Mat in 2021 - sedrick purdy - 09-20-2021
The best yoga mats can make a big difference in cultivating an at-home yoga practice that feels grounding and sustainable, even if you’re a relative beginner learning to flow to online videos.
A varied home practice can help us feel really comfortable in our skin,” Angela Dawn, a certified yoga instructor at Y7 Studio in New York, tells SELF. “It can be really tough to start, but you don’t have to go it alone. The internet is actually a great place to find sequencing ideas, flows, and even full video classes.”
Finding a beautiful yoga mat isn’t tough, but when you’re shopping, keep in mind all of your specific needs. Maybe you find thicker mats more comfortable for joint pain. Maybe perfect alignment is your goal, and you want a mat that provides you with ample space to stretch your legs out in Warrior II pose. And if you sweat a lot during your practice, a mat that reduces slipping might be top of mind.
Next, consider the mat’s portability. If you’re looking for a mat you can carry with you—even if it’s just into the backyard for some outdoor yoga—or a mat compact enough to stow under your bed, you may want to choose one that fits in a yoga strap or rolls up easily.
