Yoga mats aren’t just for doing yoga. They’re handy for cushioning your back when you’re crunching those abs, keep you from sliding when you’re building up your cardio with mountain climbers, and protect your elbows and knees when you’re in a plank position.
But just because it’s functional doesn’t mean it’ll have to stick out in your home like a sore thumb. Homegrown company Baaba.co has some of the prettiest mats that’ll fit in with your home decor (or even double as a carpet). Plus, they’re designed bigger so you won’t find it a struggle to keep your body within the mat.
