All about the basic yoga mat: Frequently asked questions from yoga beginners
-
Why do I need a yoga mat? Can't I just use a gym mat instead?
A yoga mat has a number of differences from an exercise mat. For example, it is more slip-resistant and its thickness has been adapted to the requirements of yoga practice. A lot of know-how from yoga practice has gone into the development of the yoga mats available from us, and these mats have been made specifically for yoga - this is a noticeable advantage over an exercise mat.

I'm a beginner, but I'm starting with a very demanding style of yoga. Is a basic yoga mat the right choice for me or would another model make more sense?
In fact, the style of yoga practiced plays a certain role in choosing the optimal yoga mat. For example, sweating is a factor in choosing the right yoga mat, and of course you can sweat a lot even in beginner classes. For example, someone who practices a dynamic flow or a static but very strenuous style will probably sweat more than someone who practices a very gentle and calm style - regardless of whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner. And in some yoga styles, it is the beginner classes that are taught in a very physical way, while later on spiritual aspects and meditation are more in the foreground. So if you have chosen a yoga style that requires a very non-slip yoga mat, it can make sense to look outside the basic yoga mat category, for example at the premium yoga mats. If you generally sweat quickly or practice a type of yoga that automatically makes you sweat a lot, you should make sure you choose a yoga mat that remains super non-slip even when exposed to a lot of moisture. Our customer service will be happy to advise you on this. If you do hot yoga, we recommend our special hot yoga mats.
Regardless of the style of yoga practiced, many beginners also like to use designer yoga mats or particularly comfortable comfort yoga mats, although this is simply a question of taste.

Should I consider anything special when choosing my basic yoga mat?
You can find some tips on this in the previous answer, which deals with cases in which a model from another mat category might be even more suitable. In general, however, it can be said that a basic yoga mat is a very good choice as a simple and universal model for the majority of yoga beginners. Most people are well advised to go with the yogimat basic. If you are very tall or if you simply like it spacious, you can opt for the yogimat XXL variant. If you want more padding, we recommend the yogimat plus. Since our basic yoga mats are also suitable for allergy sufferers, you generally don't have to worry about this either. If you have any questions, you can of course always contact our competent customer service.
We hope you have lots of fun with your basic yoga mat! Discover how good yoga is for you...
