Yoga mat: a variety of materials for every taste

- Training mats made of synthetic fibers such as NBR, PVC or TPE
- Virgin wool mats made from natural hair
- multi-layered shiatsu mats made of a mix of materials
Each material has its advantages and unique properties. All three types are suitable for successful yoga training, as well as for gymnastics exercises or Pilates. Below, we'll introduce you to the individual types of yoga mats in our range in more detail.

How to find the right mat size
In theory, a yoga mat as large as possible would be ideal, as it would provide enough space for all asanas. On the other hand, smaller mats are much more practical: They're easier to transport and, above all, easier to clean. Since you have direct skin contact with your yoga mat during many exercises—often with your face—hygiene and cleanliness are very important.
Accordingly, entry-level models are generally somewhat smaller, lighter, and therefore easier to wash. We present you with our Yogabox Basic Mats, special mats with the basic dimensions of 180 cm by 60 cm. Nevertheless, their surface area is still absolutely sufficient for your training. Basic Mats provide you with security and stable support. They are particularly characterized by their excellent grip.
You can also choose from particularly handy new wool mats (180 cm x 75 cm). For that truly XL feel, we offer a variety of large yoga mats. With our new wool mats XL, wool mats Deluxe, The Black Mat Pro XL, and our shiatsu mats, you can treat yourself to true luxury: a 100 cm x 200 cm training surface! Ultimately, the right mat size depends on your height and personal preferences.
Which yoga mat for which type of yoga?
If you want to do a lot of dynamic exercises, you'll need a secure surface above all else. So, if you prefer a style with various jumps and standing poses, such as Lyengar Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, or Bikram Yoga, a non-slip plastic mat is the best choice. Standing asanas and sun salutations are also much easier to perform on a non-slip yoga mat.
For gentler floor exercises, sheep's wool mats are particularly popular because they feel warmer and fluffier. Accordingly, new wool mats are primarily suitable for yoga styles that include a greater emphasis on sitting and lying asanas, such as Satyananda Yoga, Vini Yoga, or Yesudian Yoga.
Yoga for balance and well-being
Regular yoga practice supports you on your path to inner balance. These holistic exercises offer you an effective counterbalance to our increasingly hectic daily lives. As you experience moments of peaceful harmony, you'll find serenity and calm.
For over 2,000 years, yoginis and yogis have known the connection between mental balance and physical energy. Meditations and asanas stimulate all the energy pathways in your body, blockages in the meridians are released, and your Qi pulsates freely. During a yoga session, you feel your flexibility and your breath flow calmly. The effective combination of mental and physical exercises mobilizes your body, strengthens it, and harmonizes it. At the same time, the breathing techniques stimulate your life energy. Regular practice brings harmony to mind and body, and you feel completely well.

Care tips for the correct use of your yoga mat
Regular cleaning is important for an uninterrupted training experience! A fresh and clean surface is more comfortable, especially when meditating or resting your face on the yoga mat during various asanas.
1. Synthetic fiber mats: Most of our synthetic fiber-based training mats are machine washable. Depending on the material, they can be washed at temperatures up to 60°C (140°F). Please refer to your yoga mat's care instructions for specific cases. Of course, you can also simply wipe your yoga mat with a damp cloth or rinse it in the bathtub. Afterward, it's best to hang it loosely over a line to dry.
2. Virgin wool mats: Wool is a natural material and can felt. Therefore, you should only wash your pure wool yoga mat gently and in lukewarm water, and always keep in mind that washing promotes "tangling," especially with deep-pile mats. It's usually sufficient to hang your wool mat out in the fresh air and comb it out regularly. The self-cleaning properties of virgin wool ensure the necessary hygiene.
