John John Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I really want to start doing yoga regularly. It's great for flexibility (I sit too much), your core and your posture. I'm in good shape, but my flexibility could use a bit of work. I went on Amazon to check out the yoga mats, and there are so many. I'm guessing it doesn't really matter that much, but wondering if any yogis on here could point me in the right direction of a good and affordable mat? Thanks folks!

WithLove Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I just bought one at a department store on clearance for $10 - but I'll be using it for some core exercising, not yoga. But they did have some nice ones that seemed thicker and had material on the bottom that is supposed to prevent sliding. My guess would be to shoot for ones like that. Those ran about $20.

Yeah I want to get one that's got anti-sliding on both sides of the matt (so you don't slide on the mat, and it doesn't move around while you're using it). After I get back from California, I really want to start doing yoga at least once a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WithLove Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hey, let us know how it goes? I'd like to do yoga one day, but I don't feel that I'm flexible enough for it to be of any benefit to me, yet.... and let's be honest: I don't feel that I'd do the exercises any justice!!

Liraele Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Check out Amazon. They have great mats that fall into every price range and the reviews are super helpful for narrowing down your choices based upon what you're looking for. It sounds like "grippy" is what you want. I use a Manduka, but they are fairly pricey... it has been worth the investment for me, since I do a LOT of yoga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyhiraeth Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I've been doing yoga regularly for over 20 years. I have several mats, and I prefer my $20 Gaiam mat over my $80 Lululemon mat. I like Gaiam; they last me a long time. Have fun getting into yoga! I think it's one of the best things a person can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthemoon86 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I practice yoga 6 days a week and I use a gaiam yoga mat and it is the absolute best!! Great quality, does not slip around and it is affordable. like $25. I would definitely get one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
