How to choose a yoga mat

UGA mat: "You will get what you expect." 

Look for Yoga Mats with textured surfaces to maintain a better grip when the poses get more strenuous. Thicker mats provide extra cushioning and are best for more therapeutic practices. If you enjoy restorative yoga, a style with fewer poses that you hold longer, for example, you may prefer a softer, more cushioned mat.
