Best Eco Yoga Mat: Jade Harmony Professional Yoga Mat
The Jade Harmony Professional Yoga Mat is made of open cell, all natural rubber which makes it slip-resistant as well as eco-friendly. At 3/16″, it’s thicker than the standard mat for extra support and is heavy enough that it doesn’t move or roll up while you practice. At $59.95 for the 68″ and $64.95 for the 74″, it’s an investment in your practice, but one that you won’t regret. JadeYoga plants a tree for every mat sold.
Best Premium Yoga Mat: Manduka Black Mat PRO
If you are a serious yogi, the Manduka Black Mat PRO is the perfect yoga mat for you. It’s longer, wider and thicker than the standard mat, giving you extra room, comfort and support. After the initial break-in period, it’s as slip-resistant as a yoga mat gets. At $85 for the 71″ and $99 for the 85″, the price tag is one of the highest, but it now comes with a lifetime guarantee so you’ll never have to buy another yoga mat again.
Best Travel Yoga Mat: Gaiam Reversible Travel Yoga Mat
If you live out of a suitcase, consider buying the Gaiam Reversible Travel Yoga Mat. At $29.95 and 1lb, this is the lightest yoga mat on the market and can be folded or rolled into your carry-on. It’s only 1/16″ thick, which makes it best suited for use in your hotel room on the carpet or as a layer on top of a rented yoga mat.
