There are so many ways to use your new Yoga Mat. It’s soft enough to protect your knees and wide enough to keep you centred, making it perfect for the gentler side of yoga. 

Think yin, nidra, core workouts and slow flow – but don’t be scared to work up a sweat. When you’re done, all it takes is a quick wipe down with a clean, damp cloth and you’re ready to relax with your Shakti Mat.

If you have a meditation practice you can ground your cushion or sit bones easily – and comfortably. Place your meditation cushion directly on the mat or simply get comfortable in a seated pose. Your sit bones and ankles will sink into the mat’s soft, smooth surface.

Other ways to use your Yoga Mat

• Perfecting your post-workout pigeon pose
• Meditation and mindfulness
• Winding down before bed

• Keeping it unrolled is the easiest way to build a consistent practice.
• Hold the loops of your carry strap in either hand to stretch your shoulders, hips and hamstrings.
• Extra length and width means you’ll never fall off the sides.
• A little sweat on your hands and feet will keep you grounded on top.

The Grounded in Comfort Mat is designed for winding down. The compromise here is that it isn’t suitable for hot yoga or humid environments.

No, it’s not a sticky non-slip mat. The soft, smooth recycled polyester upper is made for comfort and slower floor-based practices. But don’t be afraid of building up a little sweat on it! It’s easy to clean and wipes down well with a damp cloth.

Because it wouldn’t be comfortable, otherwise! Natural rubber is heavier because it doesn’t have the fillers and trapped air that other types of foam (and other types of yoga mats) do. And our mat is already thicker than most.
