As a certified Ayurvedic nutritionist, wellness educator, and mama to a toddler, yoga is an indispensable part of my daily self-care routine. Over the years of maintaining a steady yoga practice since 2005, I've found that having a variety of yoga mat options allows me to fully customize my practice. From cushy mats for restorative sessions to grippy towels for hot yoga, having different mats keeps me engaged!
The YDL Combo Mat - My Trusty Companion for All Types of Yoga
My tried and true favourite is the YDL Combo Yoga Mat. This innovative dual-layer mat features a moisture-wicking microfiber top fused to a natural rubber base. Designed for hot yoga, the absorbent towel prevents slipping while the rubber grips any surface. But I use this mat for all types of yoga and workouts! The cushioning provides ample support and the texture prevents sliding. This mat has been my trusty companion for years now.
Nurturing My Little Yogi's Practice with the YDL Kids Mat
For yoga with my toddler, we adore the YDL Kids Mat. My little yogi is always inspired by cheerful designs and colours. The soft grip and cushioning comfortably support their growing body during the child's pose and downward dog. As I mentioned in an older post [link to older post] about the benefits of yoga for kids, this sturdy mat is perfect for nurturing my kiddo's blossoming practice.
The YDL Curve Mat Aligns My Practice
I also unfurl the YDL Curve Yoga Mat [product link] for full-body stretches and flows. As one of the shorter yogis out there, I love that the unique shape and size help me move smoothly between poses without readjusting. The alignment markings help keep me grounded in the moment. This mat is also great for prenatal yoga, providing needed support and stability.
Portability On the Go with the YDL Travel Mat
When traveling, I pack the compact YDL Travel Mat. Super lightweight, it folds up small to tuck away into my suitcase without adding bulk. The handy size is ideal for squeezing into tight spaces like airplane aisles or hotel rooms. It's the perfect companion for our yearly overseas family trip.
While some yogis stick to one reliable mat, having different mat options keeps my varied practices feeling fresh. The YDL mats provide durability, functionality, and portability whether I’m at home, in a studio, or traveling. The range of mats allows me to customize my practice as needed. I’m grateful to have found my perfect yoga companions in these thoughtfully engineered mats. No matter how my practice evolves, I know I’ll always have the ideal YDL mat to support me.
