In this article, discover all the selection criteria that will allow you to select the yoga mat best suited to your needsyour needs desires but also your convictions !
Vinyasa Yoga is a form of yoga dynamic and athletic form of yoga where each movement is initiated by the breath. Indeed, the term comes from Sanskrit: “Nyasa” means “to place”, “attention” and “Vi” means “in a certain way”. “in a certain way”.. It is a very complete physical activity of yoga which has numerous benefits for the body and the mind Muscular strengthening, flexibility, concentration, self-confidence…
This form of yoga is at the same time creative, free, adaptable and flexible, there are no fixed sequences of postures to be respected in a precise order as in Ashtanga for example. In Vinyasa Yoga we call “Flow“A series of postures that combine balance, breathing, strengthening and letting go.
Pace, style and intensity Vinyasa yoga classes depend on the teacher who teaches it. The courses may have specific themes such as a posture, a chakra or an aspect of the yogic philosophy. In addition, these classes are often performed to music in order to promote relaxation and letting go.
Vinyasa Yoga is thus a yoga among the most dynamic dynamic, cardio and very fluid. We don’t stay long in the asanas. Conversely, Hatha yoga is more static, the postures are held longer and there is less attention paid to transitions, unlike Vinyasa. Learn more about Vinyasa Yoga : discover the Special File .
You will therefore need a stable mat with a surface that is as loose as possible, but with sufficient grip depending on your level of practice and your morphology and musculature.
Vinyasa Yoga is a dynamic practice, where the sequences are often fast and the asanas must be linked in a fluid way.
If you are a beginner or are not very muscular:
It is imperative to choose a non-slip mat on which you will not slip to practice safely!
Therefore, choose a carpet with a non-slip anti-slip coating for your hands and feet, so that you can you can perform the head-down dog pose with complete peace of mind. We therefore advise you not to take a carpet made of merino wool, microfiber or PVC, because these materials are not sufficiently anti-slip, stable and solid, they do not allow you to progress with ease and serenity.
Take a look at the Yomad Mats range (non-slip and comfortable) or Star (ultra non-slip and stable).
If you have been practicing yoga for several years and or are quite muscular:
In this case it is recommended to practice with a mat with a non-slip surface or even a smooth one in order to be able to “dance” the transitions between the postures. Indeed, in Vinyasa Yoga the sequences are fast and must be fluid so it can be very unpleasant to be slowed down in a slippery transition into a big gap for example.

A good in-between can be the cork yoga mat which is a little more non-slip than the microfiber mat but still smooth and has a rubber base.
To progress in your practice in complete safety, it is preferable to choose a mat that hasa good grip on the ground! It is important that your mat does not become distorted or stretched when you practice asanas, especially in Vinyasa Yoga, so choose a mat with a base stable, adherent, strong and flexible to allow you to practice in all circumstances without the risk of slipping.
The ideal is to choose a natural rubber base, it is a material of choice that has all the necessary technical qualities! The natural rubber contains latex, and therefore has an excellent cushioning which will allow you to protect your joints and will bring comfort to your practice. In addition, a natural rubber base is dense enough to keep you from sinking into your mat during balancing poses.
Yogom’s Performance, Star and Cork ranges have the same ground stable natural rubber base.
