yogi-me Kids Yoga Mat - Eco-Friendly, Non-Toxic, Durable TPE, Non-Slip, 6mm Thick - Ideal for Children, Girls, Exercise, Mindfulness - Free Carry Strap Included

So I've always wanted my kids to get involved in healthy living so prior to lockdown I started family yoga classes with my support bubble. I ordered 2 mats for the kids and I was AMAZED with the quality.Firstly let me just start by saying I have spent countless hours of my life on mats either as a gymnast or an instructor, so I have experience beyond experience and can tell the difference between a good mat and a bad mat before I even step on it!This arrived on time, extremely well packaged and in excellent condition (see pictures), I was AMAZED at the quality especially for the price! When I showed the kids they couldn't wait to get on them.The design is amazing (posted this picture too), with yoga positions actually engrained into the mat they can just look down and perform the stretches, which is great for them rather than relying on me all the time.They are thinner than I expected but in no way do they compromise on comfort, I asked the kids (8 and 10) they both said it was grippy despite a smooth surface. I did test them myself on both the wooden floor in the living room versus upstairs on the carpet and barefoot versus in socks, it PASSED WITH FLYING COLOURS!!! The mat provides a nice amount of cushioning, delicate sponginess with spring and doesn't curl up, which is always very annoying compared to the other mats I purchased.I've been on the phone to my family and friends for the last 2 days and they're all going to get it. When I resume my YOGA classes after lockdown i'll share this with the class too! Might even bring the kids along as a show and tell!Now the kids come running to me with their yoga mats in hand and I love that, also saves me chasing them all of the time and keeps them in one spot!

Bought 2. One for each Grandaughter. Really lovely mat with helpful poses illustrated

The media could not be loaded.  I bought this mat for my kids as they kept using my yoga mat and I thought having their own one might encourage them to use it more - which is does! I just made the mistake of buying one, instead of two, so I’m going to order another one now, as myself and the kids love it so much.I’m a yoga teacher and have come across plenty different types and styles of mats over my years of teaching. This mat is brilliant. It’s so good, I’ve actually used it a couple of times myself!It’s nice and padded, so great for supporting the knees. But not too padded so that it’s really thick when rolled up. It’s light, so easy for the kids to roll up and carry around. I also love that the poses have been lasered on, as opposed to printed, so there’s no chance of them wearing off.I couldn’t decide whether to go for the freedom flow or a sun salutation mat. I probably spent a bit too long deciding - they are both superb mats. And at least I have a reason now to buy both mats!I love that it gives kids a bit of independence and creativity, allowing them to trust their instincts and go with what feels right, as opposed to being told what to do by a teacher. Kids are natural little yogis and this mat allows them to thrive in their element.It’s great quality and worth every penny. I highly recommend it. And would even say it’s great for adults too if you’re feeling tempted by it, especially if you have knee issues.Thank you yogi-me for a fantastic mat! :)

Lovely quality.

I bought this mat for myself, to eventually pass onto my nephew when i next see him as he loves his bed time yoga. I can say with full confidence that this is one of the best yoga mats I have ever used (and i've used a lot!) It's incredibly grippy and lightweight, so you don't need to worry about sliding all over the place. The designs are wonderful, and they were beneficial even for me, and I'm a yoga teacher! It offers so much padding, so is incredibly comfortable to use. I went for the green, and the colour is so vibrant. And the thing that makes it even better is knowing that it is environmentally friendly. Also it's adult size, meaning it can be used by pretty much anybody & you don't have to worry about getting rid of it when your kids get bigger! I would 100% recommend this for any children, or any yoga beginner. I myself am not a beginner but I still absolutely love this mat. Perfect!

I was inspired to buy this mat by a reviewer who was/is an instructor. She described it perfectly. The colour is amazing, which is important to a 4 year old, and hopefully will help to encourage her to use it. The exercises etched onto the mat are very clear. Her mum and dad do yoga so now she has her own mat she can join in too and her dad won’t have to constantly chase her off his! Very happy with my purchase. The only reason for 4 stars is that fact that it’s a little pricey for a child’s mat.

My 5 year old daughter has started yoga during this lockdown. I bought her this mat as she like the colour and I thought the diagrams would be helpful. She uses it daily for our nightly yoga sessions before bed and I occasionally see her getting it out during the day to practice the pictures shown on the mat by herself.It has improved her balance a lot and she’s now able to replicate all of the moves shown. A great buy at a good price.The size and shape is the exact same as mine (an adult different brand mat).I’m not too keen on the carry strap they included as it’s not elasticated like the one on my mat, so it’s more difficult for her to put it away herself (hence the one star removed). I’ve since swapped the straps on mine and hers so I have the more awkward one. An elasticated strap would make this 5 * for me.
