Getting Started & How to Choose

Use weight, practice, and flooring to choose the right mat thickness. Balance cushion and stability, improve grip in sweat, and select low-VOC, durable mats.

Learn how to choose kid-safe yoga mats: match size to height, pick 4-5mm cushioning, verify non-toxic certifications, ensure micro-texture grip.

Prioritize grip, not pigment: verify wet traction before choosing hues. Then use low-saturation blues for calm or oranges for energy to support focus.

Match your mat to hardwood, tile, or carpet for safer, steadier poses. Learn thickness, density, and layering tests to protect joints and improve grip.
