Some yoga styles like Ashtanga and Bikram usually
require using both a yoga towel and a sticky mat
to avoid slipping. Here are some of the tips
that you should know before buying a Yoga mat
for you! 1. Thickness The thickness of your
yoga mat is a key factor for comfort. If your mat
is too thin it may cause discomfort to your knee
in certain asanas. You may prefer a premium yoga
mat that is 1/4 inch thick or if you are planning
on traveling you may prefer to pack a grippy
yoga towel instead.

2. Material Before purchasing a yoga mat, make
sure the material is both eco-friendly and
grippy. Natural rubber is a popular choice among
environmentally conscious yogis, but for people
who are sensitive to latex, rubber mats can be
problematic, so make sure your yoga mat is latex
and chemical free.
3. Texture The texture influences or how much
sliding slipping goes on during your practice.
Texture comes in both man-made as well as other
materials. PVC yoga mats have a softer feel
whereas the yoga mats made up of Jute which have
a natural rough surface that might irritate those
with sensitive skin.
