Yoga Mats

Thank you for joining the 15 minutes a day Yoga Challenge, this will be the beginning of a healthier lifestyle for you. All of these exercise can be done in the comfort of your own home.

Here are a couple of items that we use in our course, it is totally up to you to decide whether or not you may need them, I am just giving you some options.

Choosing the right Yoga Mat


When picking out your yoga mat, besides your budget, there are also many other things to keep in to your consideration:

 Thickness: This really depends on personal preference.  thicker mats  reduce the stress on your wrists and knees when you are doing some of the Yoga poses like boat pose, pigeon pose.

 Grip: You would need to make sure that your yoga mat has enough grip. Not just grip between you and mat, but the mat and the floor as well.

Material: Mats are most commonly made with PVC or rubber, to give you a better grip whether you’re chilling out in Child’s Pose or wavering through Warrior II. The sticky nature of these makes it ideal for yogis who are prone to sweating or take up hot yoga.

YOGA Accessories Extra Long 1/4'' Deluxe Yoga Mat

If you are a tall yogi or looking for a little extra length in your yoga mat, the Yoga Accessories Extra Long 1/4'' Deluxe Yoga Mat would be perfect for you! Scaling in at 7 feet long, this is a thick, dense mat that will provide cushioning for added joint support.

For comparison, the average yoga mat is 68" long and 1/8" thick. The Extra Long Deluxe Yoga Mat measures in at 84" x 24" x 1/4".

 Large Nylon Zippered Yoga Mat Bag

The  Large Zippered Yoga Mat Bag is  a very popular yoga mat bag. The simplistic design will carry a standard 1/8 inch or thick 1/4 inch mat, and lightweight Nylon fabric with mesh window allows your mat to breathe and dry out. These utilitarian yoga mat carriers come in both classic and contemporary colors so you can coordinate with your mat, blocks, pillows and other yoga accessories. A zippered closure and a shoulder strap make packing up after class fast and easy. This particular yoga mat bag offers a loose fit for 1/4'' mats (standard 24'' wide) and is available in custom printing.

 YOGA STRAP and BLOCK



These are two Yoga accessories you may need to help you get into positions a little easier, I have short arms and trying to get  from downward facing dog  to Warrior is not easy for me and this is where I use my block to help me lift my body up off the floor a little.  This Yoga Strap & Block Combo  supports your body to make difficult poses more accessible.

The strap can be used to stretch out you poses a little further or you can use it as a resistance tool, you would be very surprised at how useful this tool is.
