My Personal Review of Jade’s Harmony Yoga Mat:

“Jade Yoga (one of the brands that Muhka Yoga carries) has a huge selection of mats, all made from different materials to suit whatever you need. Their Harmony Mat is my personal fave—it’s simple, super grippy, and has just the right amount of cushion with its 4.5mm thickness. It’s hands-down one of the stickiest, most durable mats I’ve ever used. It’s my go-to for yoga at home, but my partner and I also use it as a workout mat multiple times a week, and after all that action, there’s zero sign of wear to the rubber. Whether you’re sweating through a HIIT session or flowing through some poses, this mat’s got your back!”
