Carmu Yoga Mat in Dusk ($134)
One of our editors calls this "the nicest yoga mat" she's ever owned, and we'd be inclined to agree. (We were tempted to leave it rolled out in our living rooms because it's just that beautiful.) The mat material is unlike any others we've used before: it has a sweat-activated material that enhances grip and eliminates the need for towels, plus feels like supersoft suede when you stand on it, which is a nice touch. It might sound too good to be true, but after testing it ourselves in a heated yoga class, we can vouch for every claim. And yeah, it doesn't hurt that the latest drop makes it look like you're practicing on top of a sunrise.
Editor Quote: "I'm a dedicated yoga girlie, and this mat is art. It looks beautiful in my home and genuinely motivates me to practice — if only to roll out my pretty yoga mat. It's pretty heavy, but as someone that practices outside, that's not a dealbreaker for me." — Chandler Plante, health & fitness staff writer + social producer
