Importance of Yoga Mat
Good Yoga mats are slip resistant. Meaning that whenever you sweat like crazy (whether or not your doing hot yoga), your still suppose to be able to stop yourself from sliding. If you have an old, cheap mat then this probably isn't the case.
You probably start your session out OK, but by the time your half way through your mat is soaked and your sliding across the room ( a slight exaggeration).
Good yoga mats are supposed to be comfortable. All mats are not created equal and they come in a range of thicknesses.
The thicker the mat, the more comfort you will have. So if your doing a pose and it feels like your knees or elbows are digging into the wood floors, then consider getting a higher quality mat that has a little more thickness. You will be glad you spent the money.
