Gaiam Kids Yoga Mat Exercise Mat ($22)

Searching for a yoga mat for kids? Look no further than this one, made specially for children ages five to eight. It's kids' size (24 x 3.5 x 3 inches) and comes in a bunch of different fun designs (our favorite of which is this smiling unicorn, for obvious reasons).

Instructional Yoga Mat with Poses ($39)

This yoga mat has illustrations of 75 yoga poses on the front and 75 stretching poses on the back, so you'll always have a visual reference if needed. It comes with a strap and boasts an anti-slip surface, a quarter-inch thickness, and comes in two color options: black and a blue and purple option.

Liforme Original Yoga Mat ($122)

This grippy yoga mat has alignment marks to guide you and reduce the risk of injuries during your practice. It's made from natural rubber and topped with eco-friendly polyurethane, ensuring it's not only PVC-free but also biodegradable.

Peloton Reversible Workout Mat ($42, originally $70)

When you think of Peloton, the brand's famous stationary bikes probably come to mind. But the brand's workout mat should be on your radar, too. This dual-sided mat features a smooth side ideal for strength workouts and a grippy side designed for yoga sessions. We love that the yoga side has horizontal and vertical lines to help you stay centered during your practice.

Manduka PRO Yoga Mat ($99, originally $138)

If you're interested in investing in a top-tier yoga mat, Manduka's options won't disappoint. You can think of it as the Lululemon leggings of yoga mats, loved by instructors for its dense cushioning, latex-free and Oeko-Tex-certified PVC material, and durability. One shopper who rated it five stars wrote: "I've had this mat since 2012. It is now 2020 and it still looks the same as it did the day I got it. In the last eight years, I've probably averaged 150-200 classes a year on it."

SUGA Premium 100% Recycled Yoga Mat ($99)

This yoga mat is made entirely from recycled surfing wetsuits and it's fully recyclable. It's not sticky, so it's not the best for vinyasa styles, but shoppers love it for hot yoga because it absorbs quickly and keeps you from slipping during poses. A shopper who gave it a perfect rating wrote, "Suga has been the best one in terms of withstanding sweat. I've been using it for 3 years. The mat absorbs it so quickly that it never has a chance to pool. So that alone makes this my go-to mat."

Bala Exercise Mat ($99)

The distinctive portal shape of Bala's exercise mat undeniably elevates its chicness. This mat is constructed with FSC™-certified natural rubber and a high-grade polyurethane top coat and has garnered praise for its 8mm thickness. A specific shopper, awarding it a five-star rating, shared: "The shape and aesthetics of this mat are great, but most importantly the thick 8mm cushion is exactly what I hoped for. I needed a thick mat that I could use on a smooth cobblestone surface so that I could practice outside in the mornings before the Texas heat sets in. My usual preference for thin mats was leading to knee pain and discomfort on this surface— so the super thick mat solved this issue. It's sufficiently padded, but also firm enough for me to balance in standing poses."
