Best Yoga Mats for Your At-Home Practice

Like any piece of workout equipment, the right yoga mat can make or break a session, especially when practicing at home without a teacher to guide you. Yoga mats provide support and stability to help you hold poses longer and keep you from slipping, but some are more up to the task than others. With so many mats on the market, it can be overwhelming to know which one to choose. We’ve tried all of the most popular brands to see which yoga mats are best for cultivating an at-home practice. Here are our top picks.

This mat is made from 100% renewable natural rubber and is available in more than 10 colors. It’s super grippy and comfortable and comes in three different lengths, so it’s suitable even for taller yogis. Jade also plants a tree for every yoga mat sold. 

Gaiam Premium Yoga Mat – $35

Quality doesn’t have to come at a cost – this mat is more affordable than many other popular mats, yet provides the same comfort and support. It’s designed to wick away moisture to prevent odor-causing bacteria from getting into the material.
