Do you lean more weight to one side when in balancing postures?
Do you pay attention to the line up of your feet, hips, head and spine?
Having a visual target allows you to focus on that pose when holding your pose and is helpful in keeping your weight centred and body in a straight line with joints equidistant apart and parallel to one another.
Testimonials
Now that I have been using the grid yoga mat for a couple of months or so, I wonder how someone did not come up with this concept sooner, because it just makes so much sense!
Besides using it in my yoga practice, I especially love it in my Pilates routine. Performing planks and bridges are so much more effective and precise.
Also, I’ve noticed that when I’m doing a running man or mountain climbers, I’m more focused and aligned... it’s like your instructor is there, on your mat, reminding you to correct your positioning and your alignment. The feel of the mat is just another added bonus, so natural and inviting. Thanks Josea! You’ve brought my practice to another level!

I’ve noticed a heightened awareness in my yoga practice from using the GRID YOGA TOWEL. The measured lines are obviously helpful with spacing and keeping my feet properly aligned but the visual reminder also helps me consciously focus on keeping my hips and shoulders square. This has strengthened my foundation by correcting the slight imbalances that I cannot always perceive by looking in the mirror. The same is true for aligning myself in savasana and other floor postures.
This towel is lightweight, and compact whether damp or dry. It washes well, dries quickly and the joyful colours have remained vibrant. I love my Sweat Matterz towels!”

As a former professional athlete and also being in the fitness industry for over 20 years, I have always looked to use the best fitness equipment. Now, as a pilates instructor and yoga/pilates practitioner, it's so important that I use the absolute best yoga mat.
I am so impressed with this yoga mat. This is the first cork yoga mat I have tried and I simply love it! My body can flow a little easier and the surface feels smooth and supportive. And the grip gets better in wet conditions.
In fact, this is the most supportive mat that I have ever tried. The cork and rubber combination feels so good under my body, it's soft and firm at the same time. This mat is a must for everyone practicing yoga, pilates or just loves doing at home workouts! The grid is so useful in keeping my body weight centred and my alignment in line.”

I love the GRID Yoga Towel with silicone grips. It covers my mat and stays put! The grips make pulling my heels for rabbit pose more secure and using the lines for my body is helpful for balance and especially alignment.
