The 4 mm density provides enough cushioning for comfort on hard floors while maintaining a close-to-the-floor connection favored in many yoga styles. The product is lightweight, simple to clean, and suitable for frequent use at home or in group sessions.

How to use

Unroll the yoga mat on a flat, dry surface and allow it to settle before beginning practice. Use the textured side up for optimal traction.

Usage recommendations
