For those into meditation or gentle practices like Yin Yoga , comfort is key. A thick, soft, and cushiony yoga mat is recommended to support joints and allow you to sit comfortably for long periods of time. Mats that are 5-7mm thick provide extra cushioning, ideal for relaxation and floor poses.
If you practice a more dynamic yoga, such as Vinyasa , Ashtanga or Hot Yoga , grip, size and comfort are essential criteria. A non-slip yoga mat with excellent grip will prevent slips and accidents. A moderate thickness, between 3 and 5 mm , will ensure a balance between comfort and stability, allowing you to move from one posture to another without restriction. The dimensions of the mat must allow freedom of movement, especially for quick or prolonged postures.
Sweating is an important aspect to consider, especially if you practice intense forms of yoga. PVC mats can become slippery if you sweat a lot, increasing the risk of falls. Conversely, cotton or jute mats absorb sweat better and provide good grip even when wet. At Mahola we have chosen to exclusively offer organic cotton yoga mats !
The thickness of the mat directly influences the protection of your joints. For people with sensitive joints or those who are new to yoga, a thick Yoga mat , between 5 and 7 mm , is often recommended. This thickness offers increased support, ideal for prolonged positions on the floor. However, a mat that is too thick can affect stability during balancing postures. Experienced yogis who want to work on their anchoring may prefer a thin Yoga mat , 3 mm , which offers a better connection with the floor.
Are you often on the move or like to practice yoga outdoors? Our 3mm mats are ultra-light and compact and are designed to accompany you everywhere without compromising grip or stability during your sessions.
If you're looking for a compromise between comfort and portability, our 5mm mats are perfect for you. They provide excellent cushioning for your joints while being lightweight enough to carry around easily.
If you are looking for exceptional comfort for your yoga practice, our 7mm thick mats are the ideal choice. They offer superior cushioning to protect your joints while ensuring excellent stability during your postures.
The thickness of a yoga mat plays a role not only in terms of comfort, but also in portability. 3 mm mats, often called travel yoga mats , are ideal for nomadic yogis. They easily fit into a suitcase or bag, allowing you to practice yoga anywhere. On the other hand, 5 to 7 mm mats offer greater comfort, and can become an integral part of your decor. Note that cotton mats are particularly practical to transport, as they can be folded to easily fit into bags.
PVC mats pose environmental and health concerns. PVC can contain endocrine disruptors and harmful chemicals such as phthalates , volatile organic compounds (VOCs) , dioxins and chlorine . These substances can be released during use, particularly through heat and sweat, which can affect your health.
Fortunately, eco-friendly alternatives exist and that's the choice we made. Our Yoga mats are made of organic cotton. Not only is this material biodegradable, but they are also free of toxic substances, ensuring a healthy and environmentally friendly practice (including yours).
The grip of the mat is essential to avoid slipping during postures, thus ensuring your stability and limiting the risk of injury. Our mats are designed to provide excellent grip, even when wet, ideal for Bikram Yoga or practices where you sweat a lot.
Aesthetics are not to be neglected. A beautiful yoga mat, which is visually pleasing, can be an additional source of motivation and pleasure.

Not only do these mats enrich your yoga experience, they also make great decorative items. Their unique and aesthetic design allows you to seamlessly integrate them into your living room, bedroom, or any other living space.

In addition, our rugs are easy to maintain and designed to age gracefully . A rug that ages well will be a faithful companion in your practice, while beautifying your living space. Choose a design that inspires you and brings you joy, because this rug will accompany you for years to come and will reflect your values and personal style.
The type of yoga you practice and where you practice it also influence the choice of thickness, material and type of your mat.
