Yoga mats are normally around 72" / 182 cm long and have a width of 24" / 60 cm. Some practitioners prefer extra-wide mats (30" / 78 cm) for positions such as Surya Namaskar or hand-balances.Yoga mats range in thicknesses from 2 mm (lightweight) to 4–5 mm (standard or "classic") and up to 7 mm for either high performance mats reserved for professional daily practices while guaranteeing little wear-out, or soft mats providing extra cushioning during yoga therapy.
Aesthetics
Yoga mats are available in many colors and patterns. "Alignment mats" are printed with guides to proper alignment. Some companies print custom images on mats. Other items used to complement yoga mats are belts, blocks and bricks
Material
The first commercially produced yoga mats were made from PVC. The first ‘eco-conscious’-labelled mats were made from natural jute and rubber. Higher-priced PVC mats are tested as Oeko-Tex certification AZO and 'DOP' free, and are certified as latex-free. The Swiss Oeko-Tex Institute has also tested some yoga mats as "free of harmful substances" and provides Oeko-Tex for some products. Alternatively, yoga mats are made from Thermoplastic elastomer, TPE, which is deemed more environmentally friendly than PVC. Some yoga mats marketed as "eco-conscious" are made of jute intermixed with a thin rubber layer for floor grip. Some outdoor mats are made of bamboo.
