As a company specializing in customizable yoga products, MOWIN understand the importance of having a quality yoga mat for hot yoga sessions. The heat and humidity can make it challenging to maintain a steady grip, which is why selecting the right yoga mat is crucial. In this article, we will discuss the factors to consider when choosing a yoga mat and provide our top recommendations for the best customizable yoga mats for hot yoga. 

Factors to Consider

• Thickness:a thick yoga mat may seem ideal for comfort, but it canreduce stability and balance. For hot yoga, where you're likely to perspire heavily, choose a thin mat with enough cushioning for comfort and support, while maintaining stability.     

• Texture: Choose a mat with a non-slip, sticky texture that provides traction even when sweaty. Look for mats made with natural rubber or materials that absorb moisture while maintaining a non-slip surface. Avoid mats with a slippery, shiny finish or those made of PVC, which tend to get slippery when wet.

•  Size: Consider the size of your mat, as it should fit your body comfortably and provide enough space to move freely. Look for mats  at least 68 inches long and 24 inches wide, and 3-5mm thick.

•  Durability: Hot yoga can wear down your mat due to constant sweating and heat exposure.Choose a mat that is durable resistant to wear and tear, and easy to clean.
