If you enjoy a dynamic yoga practice with flowing postures, a mat with reliable grip should be your top priority.
Luckily, right now, there’s a great deal on one of my go-to options—the Liforme Original Yoga Mat, which has been reduced from $154.95 to $119.96 on Amazon.
I’m a yoga therapist and tested this mat for our guide to the best yoga mats—and have been using it ever since, thanks to its standout grip and thoughtfully-designed alignment guides.
To move confidently through sun salutation (surya namaskar) or feel grounded in warrior poses, you need a mat with an uncompromised grip.
The Liforme’s grip is excellent—even with sweaty palms—meaning you can plant your hands into downward-facing dog and focus on your breath and form without worrying you’ll slip.
As for the alignment guides, I was sceptical at first, but now I’m a convert. It’s surprisingly easy to lose track of hand and foot placements, especially in a fast-paced flow, whether you’re new to yoga or you’ve been practising for years.
I’ve grown to value these subtle lines and markers that take the guesswork out of where to place your hands and feet. Now I can flow through sun salutations without constantly checking my positioning.
The mat also rolls out perfectly flat, without annoying curled-up edges—a personal bugbear of mine. It also comes with a sturdy, well-designed carry case, making it easy and comfortable to take your mat from your home to the studio.
