    Wondering which Liforme Yoga mat to choose for yourself or to give as a gift? Well, wonder no more because our buyer’s guide gives you the lowdown on each of our mats and recommends the perfect one for every yogi on your list. Of course, all of our mats are environmentally friendly, non-toxic, grippy, generously proportioned to fit people of all sizes, feature a version of our unique and original alignment designs, and they all come with a complimentary handy mat bag!

    Liforme Yoga Mat

    Liforme Classic Yoga Mat

    The Liforme Signature Collection is our original, classic design featuring the AlignForMe® graphic on the dream practice surface, which took us five years of seriously hard work, in-depth research, and development to create. Having the alignment guide etched right onto the mat makes it ideal for beginners, however, the AlignForMe® system is intelligently designed to be flexible and to assist you as you grow in your practice, so these are very appropriate for advanced yogis as well. The absorbent, completely unique top layer provides our revolutionary Liforme grip, even when sweaty-wet. You can say goodbye to those fussy mat towels once you get onto your Liforme Yoga Mat. The Liforme Yoga Mat is available in our classic range of colours: Grey, Pink, Blue, and Green.

    Dimensions: 185cm (72.8 inches) long x 68cm (26.8 inches) wide
    Weight: Approx 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs)
    Thickness: Approx 4.2mm

    Available in: Purple Earth, Blue, Green, Pink, Olive, Grey, Dusk Blue, MaroonGolden Sand, Terracotta & Aqua Teal

    Liforme Evolve Yoga Mat

    Liforme Evolve Yoga Mat

    The Liforme Evolve Mat is the same dimensions, weight, and practice surface as the Signature Collection, but with a pared-back version of the alignment guide for yogis who prefer a simpler visual. The strong Central Line, which provides the structure for so many postures remains, along with the very useful End-to-End lines, which offer reference points for length-ways alignment. Of course, you still get the amazing grippy surface that makes asana practice such a pleasure with Liforme mats. We made this mat for anyone who finds the original a bit too busy. Grey is the obvious choice for the true minimalists while our mainstay alternatives of Pink, Blue, and Green liven things up with a nice touch of colour.

    Dimensions: 185cm (72.8 inches) long x 68cm (26.8 inches) wide
    Weight: 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs)
    Thickness: Approx 4.2mm

    Liforme Travel Mat

    Liforme Classic Travel Yoga Mat

    Liforme Travel Mats have the same surface and hence the same incredible grip as the Liforme Yoga Mat and the full AlignForMe® guidelines, but in a significantly lighter weight and with slighter smaller dimensions. This compact version of our mat comes in at around 1.6 kg (3.5 pounds), shaving a good two pounds off of the original, making it perfect for the international traveller, commuter, or yogi on the go. However, unlike some travel mats which are so thin as to be almost non-existent, we’ve managed to pack in some light cushioning. Because it is thinner, you can layer it over a studio mat to get that optimal Liforme surface experience when you’re away from home. 

    Dimensions: 180cm (70.8 inches) long x 66cm (25.6 inches) wide
    Weight: Approx 1.6 kg (3.5 lbs)
