As a registered yoga teacher with years of experience guiding private clients—and nearly 20 years of personal practice under my belt—I’ve spent countless hours on the mat. Over the years, I’ve tested a wide range of the best yoga mat brands and styles to find what truly suits me as I flow through a vinyasa, sweat through hot yoga, settle into a yin practice, and find my center in prenatal classes. While each style of yoga lends itself to unique yoga mat characteristics, I tend to look for a mat that strikes the right balance between comfort and grip, with…
