I got my current exercise mat when I did my hypnobirthing classes so at that point there was no plan to do yoga on it. I find it quite slippy... anyone got any recommendations for good yoga mats?? Tia ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ

I can't help much, although you've got me thinking! I have had the same Reebok yoga mat for years, and I do find that I slip on it when I get sweaty!! I had a bit of a look and, if I were to buy a new mat, this one looks quite good:

Another thought I had was that a mat designed for hot yoga might be a good idea, since everyone gets really sweaty doing that!

Good luck anyway xxx

I love my mat. Itโ€™s a Yoga Matters one, and my daughters bought it for me the Christmas before last. Itโ€™s lovely and โ€œstickyโ€, unlike my previous cheapie which had me slipping and sliding all over the place. ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ

Just had a look, who knew there were so many types of yoga mats ๐Ÿ˜‚ the sticky one looks good though and lots of pretty colours to choose from ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Oh yes, the colour choices are fabulous, and Iโ€™d definitely recommend sticky! Mineโ€™s a dusky orange colour. I love it. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

I have a Manduka Pro Lite yoga mat and I love it. They are expensive but will hopefully last me a lifetime and I will never have to buy another one!! I have been using this for 5 years and it still looks new. I am a qualified yoga teacher so it has had a lot of use!!! I would also recommend Liforme yoga mats. I have never used these myself but I know other teachers who love them.

Not what you're looking for?
