Exercise & Yoga Mats

First, wipe away any loose dirt from your yoga mat and lay it flat. Mix water with mild dish soap, dampen a cloth and gently scrub the surface. Rinse with clean water, then hang or lay flat to air dry for at least one hour.

A standard yoga mat is typically around 170cm long and 60cm wide, providing enough space for most users to stretch and move comfortably. Some yoga mats are available in longer or wider sizes for taller users or if you prefer extra room.

The best yoga mat material depends on your needs, but common options include PVC, TPE and rubber blends. These materials offer a balance of grip, cushioning and durability.

Thicker yoga mats provide extra cushioning and joint support, making them good for beginners or longer sessions. However, thinner mats can offer better stability for balance-focused poses.

Most quality yoga mats are designed with non-slip surfaces to improve grip and stability during movement. Many are also water-resistant or waterproof, making them easy to clean and suitable for sweaty workouts, stretching sessions and everyday use.
