Yoga is an incredible tool for aligning and creating more balance in your body. But did you know that your yoga mat can make a difference too? There are certain mats that were created with this very thing in mind ... alignment! The below yoga mat companies went above and beyond to create mats that give you visual guides to properly center your body and keep your asana practice aligned.
Magic Carpet Yoga Mats
They're gorgeous, no doubt! But did you know that artist and creator, Sophie Leininger created these mats in particular shapes to give you visual guides to create better alignment? You can see certain patterns and placements that are in the perfect place to put your hands and feet in poses like down dog and ... well ... really any pose you can think of! They're also printed with eco-inks in the USA.
Liforme
A five yearlong process of research and development for both the AlignForMe system (what the Liforme team calls it) and the other important features of the Liforme Yoga Mat was completed. What was left at the end was a beautiful and minimalist design that's taken all your beautiful curves and limbs into consideration.
Atmananda Yoga Mat
Atmananda is actually a yoga studio in NY. And this eco-friendly yoga mat was presented by the founder, Jhon Tamayo to improve his students' performance. With very literal hand and foot prints in the perfect position for downward dog, there's really no way to get confused on this mat.
