The Tunturi 8 mm mat is suitable for yoga, fitness and Pilates. Its extra thickness provides added comfort when exercising in a seated or lying position and reduces strain on the back, legs, knees, ankles and joints.
The 8 mm yoga mat is thicker than standard 3–4 mm yoga mats. It is suitable for yoga styles such as yin yoga, yoga nidra and meditation, which involve many poses in a lying or seated position. The mat’s thickness may be helpful if hard flooring at home or in the gym causes discomfort.
The mat is also suitable for other forms of exercise, such as fitness and Pilates, including for people experiencing (chronic) pain or recovering from an injury.
The mat is available in 7 colours and comes with a carry bag. Before using it for the first time, take it out of the packaging, roll it out on the floor and leave it for a couple of hours to prevent it from rolling back up when you lie on it.
“Feel better every day” is Tunturi’s motto. The company’s roots are in Finland, where two brothers founded a bicycle shop in 1922. Now, over 100 years later, Tunturi is a Dutch company and a global brand. The company offers cardio and strength training equipment, accessories and support apps.
