Unlock your inner yogi with Gaiam’s Classic Starter Yoga Mat!

Yoga brings the body and mind together and is built on three main elements – movement, breathing and meditation. Yoga has many physical and mental health benefits including improved posture, flexibility, strength, balance and body awareness and if you’re looking to get started, you’ve come to the right place. 

One brand we have a Gr8 Health that we love is Gaiam – where you can find the best fitness and recovery products available. Today we look at their starter Yoga mat and how it can be a game changer in your fitness routine. 

What is It?

Gaiam’s Classic Starter Yoga Mat is ideal for those new to yoga and performs best in restorative to slower paced practices. The 3mm thickness combined with a ridged, light-tac surface provides the safety you need to enhance and maintain proper alignment. The Classic Starter mat is also latex free and free of six harmful phthalates making it a better mat for both you and the planet.

We Tried

Firstly, I would like to note I never practiced yoga before. So yes, I am an absolute starter, looking to incorporate something new into my routine. 

Upon trying the mat, the first thing I noticed it’s how comfortable it actually is. Super lightweight, easy to carry and versatile, I found it was easy to get started using this mat as my knees, who at their best don’t always perform well, did not feel the pressure of the floor as much. 

For a slow paced session, this product was ideal and really facilitated the moving around. It has a rigid profile for easy grip and it definitely stops you from losing your balance. 

Final Thoughts

With an amazing design and sling to carry, Gaiam’s starter Yoga mat is a great option for all beginners and it even makes a great gift option for a Yoga loving friend or family member! 

And with other options, such as their Premium Support and Essential Support, all levels of yoga are covered with Gaiam! 

If you’re looking to start a new wellness routine or trying to find a perfect gift for a special friend, Gaiam has incredible options in their range available at Gr8 Health!
