Gaiam Yoga Mats

Gaiam Yoga Mats – comfortable, nonslip eco-friendly yoga mats
Gaiam gets my award for cutest yoga mats. They have a yoga mat for every yogi’s preference including extra-thick, eco-friendly, reversible, travel, and many more. Here are some of Gaiam’s most popular mats:

Gaiam Reversible Travel Yoga Mat

Gaiam’s Reversible Travel Yoga mat is a great lightweight mat that is easy to fold up and stash in your carry-on and take wherever your travels may lead.  It is fairly thin at 1.5mm so you probably aren’t going to want to use it for daily practice, although it does layer nicely over your regular mat for extra sweat absorption during hot yoga practice.
Why it rocks:

  • Slightly sticky blend of microfiber and natural rubber
  • Lightweight at 16 ounces
  • Absorbs sweat and gives you increased grip

Gaiam’s Flower of Life Yoga Mat

Free of PVC, latex and the six most harmful phthalates, the Flower of Life is Gaiam’s classic eco-friendly mat. At 3mm thick, the Flower of Life offers much cushion for your body and is plenty sticky with its textured nonslip surface. Can be a bit slippery at first, but just wash with water and a mild soap at first and it will get more sticky.
Why it rocks:

  • Free of PVC, latex and the six most harmful phthalates
  • Textured nonslip surface
  • Provides cushion for your body
  • Lightweight, durable and chic
