Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between TPE and natural rubber mats?

TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) mats are lightweight, recyclable, and often more affordable, while natural rubber mats offer superior floor grip and long-term durability.

Which mat thickness is best for sensitive joints?

For those requiring extra cushioning, 10mm, 12mm, or 1 inch extra-thick mats provide the highest level of shock absorption for knees and spines.

Are there specific mats for taller practitioners?

Yes, our catalog includes extra-long and extra-wide yoga mats, including 84 in lengths, to accommodate taller users and provide more room for movement.

How do alignment lines help during practice?

Alignment lines are visual guides printed on the mat surface that help practitioners maintain proper hand and foot placement for safer and more effective poses.
