Your Guide to Upgrading Your Practice

A quality yoga mat makes a world of difference in your practice.  That being said, quality yoga mats are also an investment.  We have found Manduka and Liforme to be the best yoga mats in the market and these are the brands we have chosen to offer at the studio.

Liforme

Liforme yoga mats are water-wicking which means you do not need a mat towel.  Your mat is your towel!  The surface of the mat has a phenomenal grip (yet still allows you to move freely) and a density supportive enough for most practitioners.  

Liforme yoga mats need to dry out after each heated session to prevent any damage to the mat.  If you are a "roll it up and forget it" yogi, this mat is not for you.  Liforme mats also have subtle alignment markers on the surface of the mat, which are helpful for even the most advanced practitioners.  

Manduka

Manduka yoga mats come in a range of densities, surfaces, and prices.  Manduka is an established brand with a great reputation that caters to a variety of yogis and budgets.  

Manduka has one sweat-wicking mat called the GRP.  This mat is absorbent.  The other Manduka mats are not absorbent and may require a mat towel depending on your preference (and the amount you sweat!).

The Manduka PRO and PRO lite mats have a lifetime warranty through Manduka that covers all 'normal' wear and tear.
