Though we may never master handstands nor find ourselves able to contort our bodies into the more complicated poses, yoga is a form of exercise that can be practiced by anyone.
From slow movements, relaxing stretches and calming sequences, this form of exercise is all about our personal journey with our body.
Practicing yoga poses regularly has numerous proven benefits, from building muscle strength to increasing blood flow and encouraging better bone health. Plus, it’s pretty good for your mind too.
Most yoga classes will provide you with all the equipment you need but if you’re feeling inspired to start up your own practice at home (an early morning sequence does wonders for your energy levels), then you’re going to need a mat.
A yoga mat will help you maintain a safe grip at all times, protect your joints and provide a more comfortable base on which to practice.
Yes, there are all sorts of blocks and bolsters that you might see being used by long-term yogis but for beginners, a mat is all you need.
It’s easy to roll-up and store away, too so that you don’t need to clear a permanent space for it. And, of course, you can practice all sorts of other exercises on it too - even if you don’t fancy yourself as the next yoga guru
To get you started, we’ve rounded up the five best yoga mats on Amazon so that you can get started on your new hobby within just a few days (or less than 24-hours if you have a Prime membership).
Even if you just skip straight to Savasana (the relaxing, lying-down pose), these comfortable mats are about to become your new favourite item.
