Yoga is an excellent form of exercise that’s designed to strengthen your body, mind, and soul, but it can be tough to enjoy all of those benefits when you’re a big guy that barely fits on a yoga mat. Trying to concentrate while you’re slipping all over the place definitely hampers the experience, and that “trick” where you try to supplement the mat with bunched up yoga towels just makes it worse. If you’re a big guy, you need a mat that’s got enough length and span to fit your body for every pose, with enough density and grip to keep you comfortable and steady.
