More and more little Aussies are diving into the goodness of yoga, and a well-proportioned kids’ yoga mat is the perfect tool for helping young yogis stretch and de-stress wherever they may roam.
A yoga mat for kids is perfectly sized for smaller bodies. They provide grip for little (and not-so-little) feet and a clean, padded surface that’s comfy enough to nap on.
Best of all, the right mat encourages little ones to improve their strength, concentration and overall health.
