It looks like the yoga mats provided my studio are better than the one I bring from home. My current mat became very slippery and dangerous. My mat started to fall apart, with gaping holes here and there. It started to smell like gym. I recycled my old mat, it's now serving somewhere else.
I became really confused when I saw how many options are available. The prices were pretty serious too, there was no joking around with $150 yoga mat bag. There are many different materials, lengths, widths, textures, even decorations. Sorting by budget didn't really work, as in my price range there were tons of options.
I went online and found a neat little site, ran by yoga teachers. Yoga Mat Reviews was the name. There was a lot experienced yogis behind this page, and they knew their stuff. The site featured comments from regular users, and reviews from various sites. After many hours of comparing and reading, I settled on the most popular choice - the Black Mat Pro by Manduka.
I was happy I settled on the Manduka Mat. "Yoga Mat Reviews" wrote about it here ->
The Manduka Mat review.
This wonderful mat is now my best friend. I just can't imagine practicing without it - it's that good. I highly recommend my BlackMat Pro to any yoga enthusiast.
