Gaiam Yoga Mats – comfortable, nonslip eco-friendly yoga mats

Gaiam gets my award for cutest yoga mats. They have a yoga mat for every yogi’s preference including extra-thick, eco-friendly, reversible, travel, and many more. Here are some of Gaiam’s most popular mats:

Gaiam Reversible Travel Yoga Mat

Gaiam’s Reversible Travel Yoga mat is a great lightweight mat that is easy to fold up and stash in your carry-on and take wherever your travels may lead.  It is fairly thin at 1.5mm so you probably aren’t going to want to use it for daily practice, although it does layer nicely over your regular mat for extra sweat absorption during hot yoga practice.

Gaiam’s Flower of Life Yoga Mat

Free of PVC, latex and the six most harmful phthalates, the Flower of Life is Gaiam’s classic eco-friendly mat. At 3mm thick, the Flower of Life offers much cushion for your body and is plenty sticky with its textured nonslip surface. Can be a bit slippery at first, but just wash with water and a mild soap at first and it will get more sticky.

Gaiam’s Premium Sticky Yoga Mat

At 5mm thick, Gaiam’s Premium Sticky Yoga Mat is almost twice is thick as a standard mat. The Premium is great for yoga workouts that are back intensive like Ashtanga or power yoga classes. The mat is also great for anyone who likes a little extra cushion.
