06 MAT MATTERS
Not all yoga mats are made equal. The Liforme Yoga Mat might cost £100 (S$180), several times that of a regular mat, but it checks way more boxes. Made from natural rubber that is heat-bonded with a “specially engineered eco-polyurethane†that is biodegradable and non-toxic, it provides excellent grip, which matters especially for those sweaty hot yoga sessions. The mats also feature a unique system of alignment markers, so even novices can figure out how to position themselves. Another eco-friendly alternative is from Yoloha, which handcrafts mats from premium-grade cork. Apart from good grip and absorbency, it also offers antimicrobial properties.
