Hi there,

 

I would like to buy a yoga mat online but I don't know where to. I

live in Portugal so I should be buying in a european online store.

 

Should I buy a cotton rug or a sticky mat?

Should I go for the famous black mat?

Is black mat worth the price?

I don't really need a thick mat and thinner gives me better

stability, right?

Does it make sense to combine a cotton rug with a sticky mat? Why?

 

Thanks in advance,

Nuno Godinho

Finding a mat is based on your preference. Use a European based

search engine to find a European based online yoga products store. I

have found nice products from www.huggermugger.com

 

I use a very thin mat (which is also a lot less expensive) and a

practice rug, which I like to call a flying carpet. The mat is for

traction only. My rug absorbs sweat from more intensive practices

and doubles as a bolster for some asanas. I really like having both,

I think it offers diversity. Sometimes I practice with my sticky mat

only, which has a line dividing it in half down the middle for

working on alignment. Most of the time I use my sticky mat for

traction (I work in a studio with hard wood floors), with my rug over

top. Try a mat only, see what you think. Obviously a thicker mat

provides more cushioning, which may be what you desire. If you can

do a couple of asanas on a couple of different types of mats, see

which one fits your practice style.

 

Hope I have been of some assistance.
