GRAND BASICS instructional yoga mat with 75 poses, Jet Black (68" x 24"), 1/4" extra-thick non-slip

This GRAND BASICS instructional yoga mat is a 68" x 24" extra-thick, non-slip exercise mat printed with 75 illustrated yoga poses and 75 stretches, and it includes a carrying strap for easy transport.

Built for beginners and self-guided practitioners, this mat puts guidance and comfort under your hands and feet so you can practice at home, in class, or on the go. The reversible, two-color design is made from SGS-certified PVC that resists slipping and cushions joints with a quarter-inch thickness. Printed illustrations and pose names help you chain flows, learn alignment, and revisit stretches without constantly watching a screen or instructor.

How does the printed pose guide help me learn yoga?

The printed sequence of 75 poses and 75 stretches gives immediate visual cues so you can practice independently and build muscle memory. Each illustration shows basic alignment and progression, helping you move safely through flows and transitions.

• Clear illustrations for standing, seated, balance, and restorative poses
• Pose names printed on the mat for quick recognition and repetition
• Good for sequencing warm-ups, standing flows, and cooldown stretches

Will this mat protect my knees and joints during practice?

The mat’s 1/4" (about 6mm) cushioning provides thicker support than many standard 5mm mats, offering more padding for knees, tailbone, and wrists. The added thickness reduces pressure on contact points while keeping you stable during standing and floor work.

• Extra-thick foam for joint-friendly comfort
• Non-slip texture to maintain steady footing during transitions
• Durable PVC that holds shape through regular use

How portable is the mat for commuting to class or traveling?

Despite the extra padding, the mat rolls up compactly and comes with an included strap designed for shoulder carry. The strap makes it comfortable to transport on foot, by bike, or on public transit without awkward slinging under your arm.

• Lightweight PVC construction balances cushioning and portability
• Included adjustable strap for over-the-shoulder carrying
• Rolls tightly to fit gym lockers or small storage spaces

Is the mat safe and easy to care for?

The mat is made from SGS-certified PVC formulated to be non-toxic and long-lasting; initial factory scent fades after airing. For routine cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry—avoid machine washing to preserve the printed graphics.

• SGS-certified PVC for safer materials and durability
• Two-color reversible design hides wear and extends aesthetic life
• Simple cleaning: wipe down, air dry, avoid harsh chemicals

Who this is for: If you’re a beginner, a self-directed student, or someone who wants a visual practice aid built into their mat, the GRAND BASICS Instructional Yoga Mat fits your needs. It’s ideal for home practice, studio drop-ins, or travel when you want supportive cushioning and on-mat guidance. If you prefer ultra-lightweight or eco-rubber materials, consider those alternatives, but if you want a supportive, illustrated learning surface with easy portability, this mat is tailored to that goal.
