The Best Yoga Mats in Canada

With multiple double-sided colour and pattern choices, this TPE yoga mat may be what you’ve been looking for to add to your routine. 

The eco-friendly TPE material is non-toxic, moisture and sweat resistant, and odour resistant, making it ideal for all types of yoga sessions including hot yoga. You can even recycle your mat if you decide to upgrade or get rid of it one day! 

It provides a strong grip and traction while still allowing movement and flow between poses without being too sticky. The closed-cell material surface blocks out any dirt, sweat, and bacteria, making it easy to simply wipe away and clean with some water and a soft brush or cloth without sacrificing any of the grippy texture or worrying about ruining it. 

A 72” x 24” wide dimension makes it suitable for nearly every user, and as it is the standard 1/4th of an inch thick, it’s great for any standing core and balance sessions, while providing enough comfort for kneeling and floorwork. Some users may find it still too thin and might want to opt for a thicker mat if they have joint issues or troubles with thin mats in general. 

All mats come in a double-sided colour scheme, giving you twice the colourway choices if you want different colour for a day. Both sides are the same material and will last for years if taken care of properly. The design does incorporate lines to let you know where you should position yourself correctly for certain poses and can work as a guide for making sure you’re in a correct position when moving between poses. 

A classic and simple yoga mat for anyone looking to start into their yoga journey, most likely has seen Gaiman products around. 

Readily available and in multiple colour and pattern choices, Gaiman yoga mats are ideal for beginners. They’re relatively affordable without losing quality and turning you off of your exercise time by being uncomfortable or terrible as some other less expensive mats can do. 

Including a yoga carrier sling, you can take your mat with you anywhere. It weighs less than four pounds and is 72” x 24” wide, making it ideal for almost any height of user. It’s non-toxic and is made from PVC that is free of all harsh chemicals, making it an ideal eco option. It may however bring a clean chemical smell with it once you open your package, and Gaiman says to leave it unrolled somewhere to air out for a few days if that is the case. 

With a relatively good grip texture and non-slip material, it’s great for almost all yoga positions and flows. It may be too thin for some users, but in general it works well if you’re looking for a basic mat that will help you get into the swing of things without breaking the bank. 

If you’re in the market for an extra thick yoga mat to help with bad joints or floorwork that won’t hurt your knees or wrists, the ProSource extra thick yoga mat might be just the ticket. 

At a very thick size of 25mm, you won’t have to worry about any sore joints or knees when doing floor poses again. The high-density foam makes it comfortable for most poses when you need it, though it might be too thick to properly give you balance when doing more advanced standing poses. 

Water-resistant, NBR naturally wicks away moisture and repels odours. Just simply wipe down with a cloth or sponge and allow to air dry. The lightly ribbed design ensures that you and your mat stay adhered to the floor without any slipping. The anti-slip material is fantastic for hardwood and other tough floor surfaces. 

It comes with a carrying strap as well and a limited lifetime warranty. It is more difficult to roll up and store due to the thickness, but all top-rated comments have loved this mat for yoga and other exercises such as doing crunches on hard surfaced floors. 

The ideal material for hot yoga is generally regarded to always be cork yoga mats as they get more grip when they start to get damp from sweat or heat. Mike’s Studio Cork Mat is top-rated and well liked for good reason. 

Becoming softer and grippier as it gets damp and the temperature rises, this eco-friendly and antibacterial cork mat will provide support and keep your sessions comfortable. The cork mat is also self-healing in case of any small indents, scrapes, or folds, and the fade-resistant water-based inks that the designs are printed from will hold up well in the sun without fading or wearing off from being worn down. 

Latex, PVC, and silicone-free ensures that there are no horrible plastic or rubber chemical smells when you first unfold it or during use when you’re close to your mat. No more distractions or annoying lingering smells to worry about, especially after a long hot yoga session. 

You can wipe it clean after sessions, or even throw it into the washing machine on a gentle cycle if you’d like to, it air dries extremely quickly. It comes with a mat covering bag / carrying bag as well with your purchase. 

It’s 70” x 24” wide, with a 4mm thickness, and depending on how tightly you can roll it back up, it’s around a four-to-five-inch diameter to store away or travel with. It has a lifetime warranty, covering fading, creasing, or tears for the entire lifetime of your new mat. It lays flat when rolled out and doesn’t tend to curl at the edges for long, if at all, when first rolled out for the first time. 

It is pricier than other mat options, but for the quality and lifetime guarantee, you can’t go wrong. 

If you’re looking for a yoga mat that can travel well, the Prima Sole folding yoga mat might be exactly what you’re in search of. 

It’s 1/4th of an inch thick like most regular yoga mats and folds down into a 10” x 12” square to easily be tucked away into a suitcase or bag. Coming in multiple colours, you can pick and choose whichever one suits your routine and style best. 

Made of PVC, it has a decent grip and holds up well against moisture and sweat without losing much grippy texture. Ideal for core strength, balancing, and other sessions of that sort. It may be too thin for some users if you’re looking to do more floorwork or need extra cushioning for wrists and knees. 

It’s long enough for most users unless you’re well over six feet tall, and comfortably works for general yoga sessions. It may not hold up great for hot yoga or in high temperatures as well as other materials such as cork, but it shouldn’t be too easily damaged. 

Like most cork mats, this one is fantastic for hot yoga and for being non-slip grippy for any position you need. 

It has alignment marks along with the design to ensure that you’re in the best position for any moves, and is PVC free, eco-friendly, and is 5mm thick for comfortable support and cushioning for any floorwork while staying firm enough to not interrupt your flow for balancing moves. 

Lightweight and easy to carry, it can be brought wherever you need it from the living room to a yoga studio session, to the outdoors on a deck or patio. A carrying strap is included with the mat, and Frenzy Bird has a one-year warranty included as well if anything goes wrong or if you’re not entirely satisfied. 

Cork is best when it’s warm and damp, making it perfect for hot yoga sessions. The cork will get softer, and the grip intensity will improve as well, making it the most anti-slip mat around. If you’re not into hotter yoga sessions, it still works great regularly, with the cork being easy to clean and able to stand up against sweat without retaining any odours. 

It is double sided, with both sides being anti-slip and made from eco-friendly materials. It may take a few uses before it unfolds to be completely flat. 

This double-layer eco-friendly TPE yoga mat will have you reaching for your mat every day. 

Coming in three colour variations with green, blue, and light purple you can choose what works best for you. No latex, free of PVC, and no harsh chemicals there won’t be any strange rubber or plastic smell when you unpack your yoga mat or do close to the mat moves. 

At 6mm thick, it works for comforting joints, knees, and wrists, while being stable enough to ensure that you still can handle balanced poses without losing traction or balance. It’s 72” long and 24” wide, making it longer than most average yoga mats, which is great news if you like more length or if you’re a taller user. 

The moisture resistant material makes cleaning it a snap with a gentle wipe down, and it can be cleaned fully with just soap and water without losing any of its grippy texture. It’s light and easy to carry as well for any travelling or outdoors sessions you’d like to take your mat to.

If you’re looking for an easy to carry mat that comes with its own carrying straps for yoga before or after work, the BalanceForm Yoga Mat is a wonderful option worth checking out. 

Available in a beautiful array of colours, this affordable PVC yoga mat fits the bill. It’s ¼” thick like most standard yoga mats and provides a decent grip. Some users may find it a bit too thin and slippery still, but if you’re just starting out or doing slower yoga sessions this mat is all you’ll need. 

It’s 68” long and 24” wide, which is a good size for most users. The double-sided non-slip surfaces allow you to use either side and always get a good grip when doing certain poses, while being thick enough to ensure comfort when doing any floorwork sessions. The additional carrying strap that comes with your purchase makes it easy to roll and carry to class or for outdoors practice, and with it weighing only 1.5lbs, transportation is a breeze. 

BalanceForm products are covered under their two-year warranty, so if you’re dissatisfied with your purchase or it breaks or falls apart you can be assured that you’re covered. 

All-natural sustainable cork on top with a lightweight TPE rubber on the bottom makes this a non-slip eco-friendly mat that everyone in the family can enjoy. 

If you enjoy hot yoga, worry about water or sweat, or just want a mat that’s more sustainable and good for the environment, then Gaiman’s cork yoga mat has your needs covered. Cork is fantastic for resisting moisture, sweat, odours, and bacteria making it one of the best materials around to keep clean and keep fresh before and after your sessions. 

Cork is the best for hot yoga sessions as it will become softer and grippier as it gets damp and warm. It does weigh a bit more, at around five pounds, but is still an easy carry to the studio or for doing yoga at home. It’s 5mm thick, which is thicker than other mats but still offers enough stability to ensure a good balance, while being good for floorwork that can hurt knees and joints. 

It may take a few uses before the mat rolls out completely flat and the edges aren’t curled up, and the wear and tear that happens to other materials won’t be as much of an issue with the cork topper. Great for hardwood floors and tile floors, anywhere that you practice that has a harder floor.
