You have researched about the best yoga studio in your area. Chosen the type of yoga that better adapts to your style, found the ideal teacher and the class that fits into your busy schedule. Now, you just have to buy a ‘simple’ yoga mat. But when you head to the sports shop, you find hundreds of options that you didn´t expect! Materials, colours, thicknesses, prices. You never thought that it would be so difficult to choose one!

As with most senior yoga practitioners, I have been approached many times by beginners asking where/how to start yoga, and which teacher/studio is the best. But there is no simple, standard reply!
