There are many best yoga blankets on the market and it can be difficult to decide which one to invest in as a beginner or expert yogi. The different types of yoga blankets listed below serve different purposes, so read through this list before deciding which blanket will be right for you! Whether you’re looking to buy a new yoga blanket to use at home, or you’re planning on getting your first lululemon yoga mat, here are the best yoga blankets available on the market today.

Introduction

The best yoga blankets are a popular item among yogis, but they come in many different shapes and sizes. Which one is best for you? With so many options to choose from, it's not always easy to determine which one is the right fit. I'll be going over some of the most popular types of yoga blankets and what makes them unique. First up, there's the traditional cotton woven type that usually comes in either black or white. These don't have a lot of padding and are typically used more for asanas like savasana or during meditation because of their simplicity and cheap price point.

Another popular option is an organic cotton blanket with wool lining on the inside that provides extra warmth as well as comfort. The added bonus to this type is that it also helps with temperature regulation by keeping heat trapped inside while still breathing well enough to release excess body heat if needed.

Types of Yoga

-Vinyasa: This style is often practiced in a heated room, but it can also be done at home or outdoors. The key to Vinyasa is linking the movements together with breath. A typical sequence might start with some standing poses, and then flow into a sequence of poses on the floor.

-Hatha: Hatha is all about holding still, so there's no real flow to it. To get the most out of your practice, you should aim for about 20 minutes in one pose and 10 minutes in another pose. For instance, you could do 3 minutes each of mountain pose and child's pose before switching back to mountain pose again. There are many other ways to mix up Hatha yoga, including adding arm balances and headstands.

-Bikram: Bikram is a hot (110 degrees!) form of yoga that gets your muscles warmed up quickly. There are 26 postures (called asanas) that are done consecutively over the course of 90 minutes. Classes are led by an instructor who walks around the room giving individual corrections when necessary, which means students don't need any previous experience in order to attend!
