A Grippy, Forgiving Mat

Thicker than a studio mat

Why we picked it

Most postpartum movement happens on a living room floor with a baby nearby. A little extra cushioning makes that far more likely to actually happen.

Who it may be useful for

Anyone easing back into movement at home rather than in a class.
