One of things I like best about yoga, you don't need any specialized equipment. If you are exercising on carpet, you don't even need a mat. However, a yoga mat is a great piece of equipment to have, and some people wouldn't even think of trying yoga exercise without using a mat.
Yoga mats come in a variety of types, styles and thicknesses. A typical yoga mat has a sticky surface to help with friction when obtaining your poses. Some yoga mats are thicker than others, and these can really help when you get on your knees.
Yoga mats come in a multitude of colors and patterns, so you can express your personality (and find your mat when it's time to pack up and leave the gym). . If fact, you can even have your T-shirt match your yoga mat.
If you are just starting out, you really don't need a yoga mat, especially if you are working out at home. Most gyms will lend you a yoga mat or rent one to you. But if you are serious about yoga exercise, you should invest in a good quality yoga exercise mat as soon as you can. After all, do you really want to use a mat that some one else has sweated on?
There are some very good online shops for buying yoga mats, bags and other related accessories.
