Choosing the right yoga mat can seem like choosing the right flavor of ice cream – is there really a bad choice? But then you get a mat that gives you no grip and causes you to slide all over the place during class, and you realize that these mats are not what you expected. Choosing the best yoga mat for you is not a decision that any yogi should  take lightly. After all, in addition to costing you money, it can actually change your practice. But how do you make the perfect choice?With  SO many different types on the market! Some are thick, some are thin; some are super grippy and others are smooth. Are you better off choosing a nice doormat or one that looks super durable? And are the more expensive ones actually worth the price tag? You can’t test them all on the market  to know what feels best during your flow – but luckily, there’s an amazing group of people who have tested countless mats: yoga instructors!
