The Best Luxurious Yoga Mat You Can Get - Holistic Silk Review

 A while ago, I featured this amazing brand called Holistic Silk, a silk accessories and wellness shop that sells products for sleep, relaxation and rest. I featured their silk eye mask and pillowcase, and talked about how these products improved my sleep and mental health. Today, I want to feature another of their products which helped me in my journey towards relaxation. 

A bit about the brand- Holistic Silk products that helps people sleep, relax and rest, which means that they produce gorgeous sleeping masks, yoga mats, pillowcases and other accessories such as gloves, scrunchies and masks that delivers wellbeing at its best. The brand was created as an antidote to modern life, and aims to help people improve their wellbeing, mental health and sleep through luxury products designed to provide true health benefits and aid in relaxation. 

I want to talk about their fantastic Yoga Rug Mat which was just launched a while ago. Now, yoga is something that I've been doing everyday for the past two years since I went through a personal traumatic event. Yoga has helped me through depression, anxiety and dark times. However, I've never seen a yoga mat quite like this one. Holistic Silk has designed a luxurious yoga mat that is filled with lavender flowers, which means that it smells of lavender on the surface. This cozy mat is the ultimate tool to help anyone de-stress from the pains of modern life, and is completely different from all of the yoga mats that I've ever seen. Take a look below! 

As you can see, the yoga mat is designed beautifully and is unlike anything that I've ever seen. The mat features a faux leather base which is non-slip, so you can out it on any surface and use it as a normal mat. Personally, I think the faux leather base is designed beautifully as mine featured a floral golden pattern. Holistic Silk sells these mats in a variety of colors including lavender, pink, olive and blue stripe, so you can get this mat in a wide range of shades. The floral pattern got me a lot of compliments as it stands out from the crowd. The gold trim on the edge makes the mat look extra luxurious and elegant, and really adds an extra "oomph" factor to the product. 

The mat comes with a strap so it can carried around, but I'd recommend using this mat indoors in order to preserve it's beauty. The lavender smell will also fade away with washes, so the shop recommends that you sprinkle lavender oil on top to maintain the aroma. The smell is very comforting at the end of a long day and I feel pampered when I'm lying on the mat. It's like getting a warm, cozy hug from your own yoga mat! 

The mat also features a soft fleece top which can be washed in a washing machine. This fleece top is comfortable and grippy, which means that you can do gentle yoga (think yin, meditation and others) on top of the mat easily. The website recommends this mat for Hatha, Restorative, Kundalini and Yin Yoga, Meditation and Pilates. It can also be used to decompress at the end of a long day. I personally used it to do breathing exercises after work and it has helped me relax so much better than regular mats that feel cold, hard and uninviting. It's such a refreshing little mat and is extremely well-made.

Overall, this yoga mat by Holistic Silk is one of the most gorgeous mats that I've ever seen in my 2 years of practising yoga. I've owned a lot of yoga mats in the past, but none compares to the comfort, design and luxurious feel of this beautiful fleece-top yoga mat. It feels like an elevated yoga blanket but can be used as so much more- I would definitely recommend buying this for yourself or as a gift to someone special, because I'm sure they'd love it.
