Hot yoga is practiced under special conditions - and these require special yoga mats! You can find special mats for hot yoga at YOGISTAR in various designs and surprising looks.
Why are special yoga mats useful for hot yoga?
During hot yoga, temperatures are known to be high - and sweat usually flows in streams. For hot yoga, you therefore need a yoga mat that retains its non-slip properties even when wet. Instead of a sweat-repellent yoga mat, you also need a model that absorbs sweat, because otherwise too much moisture would accumulate on the mat surface during the yoga session.
In the YOGISTAR range you will find various yoga mats that absorb sweat and become even more slip-resistant when exposed to sweat . They literally use the moisture to get even more grip. Such yoga mats are particularly suitable for hot yoga. Compared to other models in our range that are characterized by the properties mentioned above (e.g. yogimat ultra grip, yogimat light), the special hot yoga mats are even more optimized for hot yoga.
They don't leave you standing in a pool of sweat, they become more slip-resistant the more moisture they absorb, and most of them are even machine washable. Hot yoga mats are thin and light and reliably accompany you through your asana sequence in hot temperatures.
Here are the most important criteria for a mat for hot yoga for your quick check:
- A yoga mat for hot yoga must remain non-slip even when exposed to moisture.
- It is recommended to use a sweat-absorbing yoga mat so that you don't find yourself in a puddle while practicing (let's call things what they are ;)).
- To ensure hygiene, a yoga mat for hot yoga should definitely be easy to clean.

FAQ about Hot Yoga
What is hot yoga?
Hot yoga is a form of yoga that is practiced at a room temperature of around 40 degrees Celsius to relax the muscles, increase flexibility and detoxify the body.
Is there a difference between hot yoga and Bikram yoga?
Bikram Yoga, the first and therefore original form of hot yoga, includes a trademarked sequence of asanas. In addition to the high room temperature and high humidity, it is also characterized by practicing in a mirrored room. Hot yoga is also used as a general term for other variants of the asana practice that are performed in hot temperatures.
How do I prepare for a hot yoga class?
Clarify any contraindications beforehand, as hot yoga is particularly demanding on the body. Drink plenty of water before class to avoid dehydration. It is recommended (as in yoga in general, but especially here) not to eat a heavy meal before practicing. Bring a towel and a bottle of water with you to class and choose suitable clothing that is breathable and does not constrict you. Outfits with little fabric are preferred in hot yoga.
