Choose a yoga mat that fits your body and is right for your practice. Mats for the practice of yoga come in a variety of lengths, materials, thicknesses, colors and styles.

However, practitioners should choose a yoga mat based on their preference and comfort level.
No longer standard blue vinyl, yoga mats come in variety of colors, fabrics, textures and thicknesses to support your individual needs and personality. Ranging from 1/16 inch to 1/4 inch, the yoga mat thickness that is right for you depends on where you plan to practice yoga as well as the kind of support you need. Decide whether you will use the mat most often in a yoga studio on a hardwood floor, at home on a carpeted or tile floor or outdoors.
