Yoga mats
Yoga mats are sometimes called sticky mats and are commonly used in most yoga classes for traction and cushioning. Most mats are made from synthetic materials and can be purchased for around $25. Other people prefer mats made from natural materials such as rubber and jute and these mats may cost more than a synthetic mat.
Most yoga mats come in a standard size of 24” x 68” and are generally not very thick. Many yoga studios offering a yoga class will often have mats you can rent for a nominal price. Those people wishing to practice yoga at home usually buy their own mats and bring their mats to yoga class for financial and hygienic reasons.
The purpose of yoga mats is ultimately to create your own personal space during a yoga class. It also serves as traction for your hands and feet for many of the yoga poses, particularly as you get sweaty. For those who plan to bring their own yoga mat to class, check ahead with the studio to see if they can store your mat for you.
