5 Top Yoga Mats: Our Favorites for Every Practice

Whether you’re a hot yoga enthusiast, a gentle yin devotee, or a vinyasa flow lover, your yoga mat plays a vital role in supporting your practice. A great yoga mat should feel like an extension of your body—providing the right balance of grip, comfort, durability, and style.

With so many options out there, we’ve narrowed it down to our top 5 favorite yoga mats that truly stand out from the rest. These are the mats we trust in our studios and use in our personal practices every day.

1. Lululemon The Mat 5mm

Why We Love It:
The Lululemon 5mm Mat is a total game-changer. With dual-surface texture and just the right amount of cushioning, it’s perfect for everything from hot yoga to restorative flows. The top layer has a grippy polyurethane surface that keeps you grounded even during the sweatiest sessions, while the natural rubber base adds stability and joint support.

What Makes It Stand Out:

• Excellent grip—even in sweaty conditions

• Antimicrobial additive to help prevent mold and mildew

• Eco-conscious materials

• Dense, cushioned support for knees and wrists

Best For: Hot yoga, vinyasa, power yoga

2. Manduka PRO Yoga Mat

Why We Love It:
The Manduka PRO is legendary for a reason. It’s ultra-dense and provides unparalleled support and durability. Though it takes a little time to break in, once it does, it becomes an absolute rock for your practice.

What Makes It Stand Out:

• Lifetime durability

• Closed-cell surface prevents sweat from seeping in

• Extra cushioning for joint protection

• Ideal for taller practitioners with its extra-long options

Best For: Daily use, long-term investment, high-impact practices

3. Manduka eKO Yoga Mat

Why We Love It:
The eKO mat offers eco-conscious yogis a sustainable alternative without compromising performance. It’s made from biodegradable natural tree rubber and provides incredible traction and support.

What Makes It Stand Out:

• Non-toxic and eco-friendly

• Superior wet and dry grip

• Made without PVC or harmful plasticizers

• Lightweight yet sturdy

Best For: Earth-lovers, travel, dynamic flows

4. Manduka GRP Hot Yoga Mat

Why We Love It:
This is the holy grail for hot yoga lovers. The Manduka GRP (Grip) mat is engineered to absorb moisture and eliminate the need for a yoga towel. It maintains its grip no matter how sweaty you get.

What Makes It Stand Out:

• Built-in charcoal-infused core to absorb moisture and odor

• Ridiculously good grip in heated classes

• Smooth, soft surface with high responsiveness

• Heavy-duty feel

Best For: Hot yoga, Bikram, sweaty practices

5. Liforme Yoga Mat-arrving in our boutiques this June

Why We Love It:
This mat rounds out our list for its alignment features and eco-friendly build. Liforme mats come with etched alignment markers, which are great for beginners and advanced yogis alike who want to fine-tune their postures.

What Makes It Stand Out:

• Eco-polyurethane top layer for grip

• Built-in alignment guides

• Biodegradable and PVC-free

• Comes with a carrying case

Best For: Beginners, alignment-focused practices, eco-conscious yogis

Your yoga mat is the foundation of your practice—and investing in a high-quality one makes a huge difference. Whether you're practicing in a heated room, flowing through a dynamic sequence, or melting into a long savasana, these mats offer something for every style and body.
