Best Combo Yoga Mats – The Best Yoga Mats for Hot Yoga, Bikram and Ashtanga Yoga.
While Yoga is hardly ever thought of as a cardiac work-out, the new alternative adaptations of this centuries-old practice has been brought right up to our current interpretations of 21st century work-outs.
These modern interpretations of yoga, designed to suit the times of our modern living include hot yoga, alongside the more physical interpretations of yoga, Bikram and Ashtanga, which widely appeal to those of us needing a more physical workout.
Along with the more demanding physical nature of these types of yoga practices, we also come to require a different type of yoga mat to support the practise. No longer will the standard yoga mat with a towel on top, do. The need for a combo yoga mat with a comfortable water-absorbent surface that is also easy to wash and clean has become a necessity for fans of these yoga forms.
