    I am interested in getting more involved in Yoga. So far my experience is just that on the Wii fit.:o

    I am looking to purchase a good yoga mat and am looking for some advice on what to look out for.:confused:

    I weigh 120lbs and I will be doing most of my Yoga stretches on a hard wood floor.

    Manduka Pro mats are good. They have a life time guarantee. I had one that started to tear after a 4 or 5 years usage. They sent me out a new one after I sent pictures of the damage. No problems at all. They are a bit pricey though, you can get them of amazon.co.uk

    I've just bought a simple Reebok Yoga Mat and can't fault it yet tbh. Not expensive at all which was perfect as I wasn't sure if yoga would be something I would continue.

    Yoga is working wonders for me so will keep this for now. It also has that handy strap for hanging over your shoulder to carry with you :)

    Hope that helps,

    If you plan to use it daily I would invest in a good mat, as cheap mats disintegrate very quickly with daily usage. If you are only going to practice occasionally, I would go with what the previous poster recommended.

    What sort of money do the more expensive mats go for??

    If you're anyway near a TKMaxx, they always have good mats in, for a fraction of the rrp. Spend €20 or so, and you'll have a mat that'll do you for life.

    I find my nike ones have lasted YEARS of indoor and outdoor practice. TK Maxx is always good for a mat too - you can be very lucky!
