      It might seem practical to use a floor covering, towel, or camping mat for yoga, especially as a beginner, but these alternatives don’t offer the essential qualities needed for a good practice. Yoga requires a surface with specific properties like durability, elasticity, and a non-slip texture.

      Today’s selection of yoga mats is vast, with options varying in material, size, thickness, weight, and color. So how do you choose a mat that meets your needs? And is it worth owning a mat when many studios provide them for in-class use?

      It’s generally best to have your own yoga mat, especially if you practice at home. Owning a mat also makes it easy to take your practice outdoors, to the studio, or into nature. A yoga mat can be considered a personal hygiene item since it absorbs sweat during intense sessions. Some also believe that mats absorb the energy of those who practice on them, as yoga involves energetic work.

      Choosing the Right Length, Width, and Thickness
      To determine the ideal length, add 5–10 cm to your height. Common yoga mat lengths are 173 and 183–185 cm, with longer options of 200–220 cm available for taller yogis or those practicing specific exercises.

      The standard width is 60 cm, providing enough space for most asanas. However, wider mats of 66–80 cm are also available.

      Thickness affects stability, thermal insulation, softness, and comfort. Yoga mats typically range from 3 to 6 mm in thickness, with 4–5 mm being a versatile choice for various yoga styles. Thinner 3 mm mats are better for outdoor practice on softer surfaces, while thicker mats are ideal for those with sensitive knees and elbows. Ultra-thin mats (0.5–1.5 mm) are lightweight and compact, making them perfect for travel.
