If you have ever cut a yoga session short because your knees were hurting, or avoided certain poses entirely because the floor felt like concrete, here is something worth knowing: that is not a you problem. That is a mat problem.
Most yoga mats are 3mm to 5mm thick. They look fine in product photos and feel fine for the first five minutes. But the moment you hold a low lunge, sink into a seated forward fold, or try to stay in a kneeling pose for more than thirty seconds, you feel every millimeter of distance between you and the hardwood floor.
The Wai Lana Extra Thick Yoga and Pilates Mat is available now at Arbasa.
The Bottom Line
You do not need to earn a better mat by suffering through a worse one. The Wai Lana Extra Thick Yoga and Pilates Mat is for anyone who wants to practice without hurting -- which is everyone.
Stop blaming your knees. Get a mat that actually supports your practice.
