Most yoga studios have mats you can rent to use during class, but it really makes more sense to buy your own, for both financial and hygienic reasons.
Good mats improve balance and coordination. Most of us are not balanced we may be stronger on our right side and weaker on our left. With greater stability, there is less compensation.
Yoga mats (also called sticky mats) are used in most classes to provide cushioning and traction. While you can usually rent a mat at a yoga studio, it's a good idea to have your own. You will also need a mat if you plan to do any yoga at home.
Sometimes a new mat will be a little slippery. If you use it for a few classes, the problem usually goes away as you wear the mat in. If it doesn't, try washing it as this can accelerate the process.
Our mats, offer cushioning that is dense yet light-weight. The "sticky" texture does a fantastic job of keeping hands and feet firmly in position.
