Cotton Mats - These yoga mats are excellent for those types of yoga that traditionally cause you to sweat a lot such as Astanga or Bikram. Because they absorb sweat, they help keep you from slipping and sliding during these heat-producing practices. They work best when they are sprinkled with a small amount of water. The damp mat gives you a good amount of traction so your hands and feet stay where you place them. Many of them have lines in patterns, which can help with your body alignment.

Cotton mats also provide cushioning. They can substitute for blankets by helping to bolster your body during certain asanas. Some people use cotton mats over sticky mats during their practice.

Yoga Mat Bag - A yoga mat bag is a great accessory for carrying your yoga mat or mats to class, work, or anywhere else you need to go. Many have extra space where you can put your keys, water bottle, and tee shirt. The bag protects your mat and helps make it easier for you to transport your yoga gear.

Now that you know about different yoga mats that are available and what each one does, you choose right mat or mats for you.

Hi Steve, I would like to thank you for help you gave during five-day course I attended last year. I was quite nervous and certainly apprehensive before course and especially on first morning, however it turned out not only to be very beneficial but also enjoyable. Being able to keep in contact after course is also much appreciated. I am happy for people to contact me with any questions and would be happy to recommend people to attend course. Speak soon, Mukesh from Wolverhampton 07985 101 689
