The seven yoga gear items on this list are all winners of ourSELF Healthy Living Awards.

From mats to straps, these seven favorites are guaranteed to help you flow like a pro.

Each of the seven color options come with a grippy top thats also easy to clean.

Lululemon Reversible  Mat

After class, you’re able to just toss it in the washing machine.

The microfiber top helps with grip and absorbs sweat, so you wont slide out of your poses.

The handy strap is clutch, according to one tester.

Manduka Pro Lite Mat

The designs vary from polka dots to arrows to a classic stripe or checkerboard design.

We also found the blocks were a bit firmer than others, while still being lightweight.

Our testers were impressed by the durable, sturdy fabric and easy-to-use buckle on these cotton straps.
