The Reversible Mat by Lululemon is a popular choice for yoga mats. It's perfectly cushioned with a 5mm thickness and as the name suggests, reversible!
One of the sides features a smooth "sticky" polyurethane side. This will help you adhere to the mat. The other side has a spongy "grippy" texture that provides extra traction.
The options for colors and designs are limited, so this is ideal for someone who likes a simple and sleek design.
Who knew cork was so cool? Cork yoga mats like the one from Cork Yogi offer a unique design made from Portuguese Cork.
The texture gives the yoga mat a great amount of grip, but it's still easy to move around. This thickness of cork mats allows you to hold positions for a longer time. Don't worry, they're still easy to roll up and transport.
The cork is antimicrobial, which makes it easy to keep clean. Vinegar and water should do the trick.
Another cool thing about cork mats is that the grip improves with moisture. Perfect for hot yoga or for those who break a sweat during practice.
Cork Yogi also works with the Destiny Foundation to support human trafficking victims.
