Yoga is a wonderful way to tone and shape your body, plus it can be done almost anywhere. The only piece of equipment that yoga requires is a mat to perform your poses on. Mats help with balance and strength as well as comfort while you are focusing on your stability in difficult poses. There are many different kinds of mats that are available; each has its own benefits and disadvantages. However, each serves its purpose in aiding with yoga. The best yoga mat to use depends solely on the user. Some people prefer foam, some plastic, some cotton and some prefer no mat at all. Depending on your preferences there is the perfect mat available for you.

The best yoga mat should be able to provide you with maximum support as you perform difficult poses. Many mats have a sticky surface to provide you with traction and stability so you do not fall or waver. Other mats are smooth, allowing you to perform with less stability from the mat and more from your body. In addition most mats are extremely padded. A good mat can provide you with comfort as you pose; rather it be on your feet, arms or back. Many people also choose to purchase compact mats that can be easily rolled or folded for easy transportation. The mat you choose should be easy to transport so you can take it to classes or anywhere else you want to perform.

You also have the option of performing yoga without a mat whatsoever. Sometimes the best yoga mat is no mat at all. While it may be practical to perform yoga on hard wood or tile you can always perform yoga on a carpeted area in your home. It is great because it allows you to be less restrictive with your practice. You are free to practice yoga where and whenever you want and not having a mat should not stop you. Often times performing yoga without a mat can lead to rug burn, which can heal quickly. Another disadvantage is that there is nothing to catch your sweat as it falls which will dirty the carpet.
