I finally purchased my new yoga mat. It isn’t the one that I was planning on buying but it is really nice. I ended up getting a Lululemon brand,
and it is just called “The Mat”. It is made of a thin polyurethane top layer wicks away sweat and absorbs moisture so it isn’t slippery.
It also has an antimicrobial additive that helps prevent the growth of mold, bacteria and fungi. It is a little larger than my old mat which makes me feel a little space-greedy since I am on the shorter/smaller side. But that is the only negative about the mat. Overall it has just the right amount of sponge to it and is very comfortable! It makes me so happy to go to yoga.
