10 Of The Best Yoga Mats To Achieve Zen Anywhere

10 Of The Best Yoga Mats To Achieve Zen Anywhere

Any yoga aficionado will tell you that having the best yoga mat is vital in getting you ready for your next downward dog.

During times of stress, yoga has a way of lowering anxiety, rejuvenating us to feel at peace—and the mat is where all the magic happens.

From preventing slips to keeping energy above the surface of the ground, it supports you physically and mentally while you centre yourself.

At a time when staying indoors is of paramount importance, our homes are becoming our new yoga studios. While you search for the ideal space to practise your vinyasa, take the opportunity to work with what you've got. As the supportive qualities of hardwood floors are ideal, softer surfaces such as carpet, can work wonders with the right floor companion.

From thickness and grip to sustainability and aesthetics, there are endless amounts of yoga mats to help you perfect your pose. With those in mind, we've narrowed down our favourites for you to reach your zen.

Here are our 10 favourite yoga mats perfect for yoga lovers at any level:
