Yoga Mat

The first prop a yoga practitioner must purchase is a yoga mat. The yoga mat prevents slippage during the workout. In addition, it provides stability and comfort.

Many positions in yoga require the practitioner to stretch his body or move into a balancing position. A sticky yoga mat prevents a practitioner from falling. In addition, when the practitioner is on the floor and resting on his knees the yoga mat provides enough cushioning so that the knees are protected.

A yoga practitioner can bring his own yoga mat to a class. However, because studios understand how important mats are, they usually supply mats for the users. Yoga mats come in different thicknesses and materials to accommodate user preferences.
