Basic sticky mat
Yoga Yoga sells a basic, eco- friendly yoga mat, similar to the ones we rent. These mats are inexpensive and come in a series of bright colors.

Some students find the surface looses its grip. We recommend the ancient yogic tradition of sponging down the mat with a solution of one part water, one part white wine vinegar to improve traction. Hang to dry.

Jade mats
The Jade line is a higher end product, like the BMW of yoga mats. Yoga Yoga carries three Jade designs: Travel, Harmony, and Fusion, each one thicker than the last. Jade mats are made of open-cell natural rubber. They don't ever lose their grip with time, wear, or moisture. Jade mats are very popular with Flow and Ashtanga students, who need extra grip when the class gets underway and they start to sweat.

Manduka
If Jade was the BMW of yoga mats, then the Manduka "high performance" line is the Lear Jet. This is the only mat Yoga Yoga carries that comes in an extra long (85 inches). The famous "Black Mat" is popular with long time students who like a lot of cushioning. The heavy rubber will stay put on the floor, and your hands will stay put on its grippy surface. You can leave it in the car or in the sun without fear, and hose it down periodically with mild soap and water to clean. If you only want to buy one mat, or you want the extra length, you can't do much better than the Manduka.

You'll see some students use a rug or towel in class. Yoga Yoga also has a selection of specially designed coverings for your mat, and bags for easy transport. Ask a staff member for details.

Yoga Yoga offers private yoga classes with our teachers. Students can make a single appointment or schedule a series of private sessions to work on the aspects of yoga that challenge and interest them. Are the classes you love rather large? If you want more time with the teacher, a private lesson is a great way to check in. You will get personal direction, support for your personal needs and limitations, and learn how to stay safe in your practice.

To schedule a private yoga session, contact Tori at privates@yogayoga.com or click here to fill out our online form.
