August 20, 2007 – 2:18 pm
There are all sorts of yoga mats out there - ranging from cheap exercise mats to wildly expensive luxury Yoga mats. When you are first starting out in your Yoga adventure, the last thing you want to do is become hampered down by trying to choose the best basic Yoga mat for beginners. Gaiam has a great basic yoga mat from their Yoga Essentials series. These basic yoga mats come in many different colors, meant to mirror the colors of the Chakras and then some.
It has just the right amount of cushion to provide proper support for most types of yoga (although if you’re an Ashtanga junky you’re going to want to shell out the cash for something thicker). These yoga mats are 24″W x 68″ L x 1/8″D. There is no latex contained in the materials, for those of you with allergies. The Yoga Essentials basic yoga mat from Gaiam will run you $22.00, which is a decent price for your first yoga mat. Plus it’ll last you for a long time.
