This hidden gem yoga mat is incredible value in the Black Friday sales

If you've been looking for a new yoga mat, an excellent choice is the Yogi Bare Paws mat, and right now it's dropped to its lowest price ever at Amazon. The RRP is £74.95, but it's currently £48.72, making it one of the best Black Friday deals I've spied so far. 

This mat ranks very highly in our best yoga mat guide, for good reason. I regularly practice yoga and I've tried a whole range of different kinds of mats, and I would happily recommend this one. It's made from rubber, which might be heavier and pricier than foam mats, but is so much better – both at effectively cushioning your joints, and providing a stable base to hold your poses on. That rubber is also a much more eco-friendly option than plastic alternatives. The Yogi Bare mat will deliver reliable grip, even if you're a bit sweaty. 

In our guide, we've picked this out as a great alternative to the Liforme Yoga mat, which is outstanding but has an undoubtedly premium price tag. With this deal, it's around half the price of investing in a Lifeorme, which is excellent value indeed.
