If you have been following my site for a while, you may know that I am a bit of a yoga devotee. I practice at home, daily if I can (or when three young children allow!) and find that it has huge benefits to my health and well-being. Due to the lockdowns and restrictions that Covid-19 has brought, many people have turned to home yoga as a way exercising as well as relieving stress. There is very little you actually need in order to practice yoga; the main requirements being something comfortable to wear and a yoga mat. Recently I was delighted to discover that there are so many different styles and designs of yoga mats available which can serve to inspire you, calm your mind, add some fun to your practice as well as perfectly compliment the decor of your room! Here are a few different options you can choose.
Yoga mats for children
Yoga has huge benefits for children. In these uncertain times, it's important that children are able to release some stress, focus their minds, have fun and exercise, all things that in the strangest of years, has been somewhat of a challenge. You can purchase so many fun and interesting styles of yoga mats to delight children and encourage them to practice yoga. My dinosaur loving little boys would simply love this T-rex one!
You may like to consider a yoga mat that features an inspirational word or phrase which will serve to motivate you and keep your mind focused during your yoga practice. This one features a colourful design and the words, 'shine bright'. it would be hard not to feel happy on this mat!Yoga mats to transport youThere are also a range of different yoga mats with stunning landscape designs. Focus on the design and you will almost feel as though you are really there, helping you to feel calm and serene.
Yoga mats to calm the mind
Some images, photos and designs can simply instil a sense of calmness and relaxation in our minds, whether that's an expanse of water, a sunset, a rainbow or even the night sky, for example. Being relaxed in yoga will serve to enhance your practice and leave you feeling refreshed and revitalised afterwards.
Yoga mats for happinessSome images just bring you happiness. They may be a fun or quirky design, make you giggle or remind you of happy times. Whatever brings you happiness, bring it into your life (and into your yoga practice!)
Yoga mats for style
You may like to use your yoga mat to compliment your home's interior. Choosing a yoga mat with an artistic image is a really unique way to add a pop of colour to your home, to display your favourite artist's work or to feature bold statement pieces to the room; it will certainly be eye-catching!
