Yoga mats so pretty they'll make you actually want to workout

If you were under the assumption that all yoga mats were created equal, then you were sorely mistaken.

There are the budget mats which many of us hastily purchase when the need is there, and then there are the elite: the stylish yoga mats. And trust me, the experience is not the same on both.

First of all, there's no better - or more adorable - an incentive to distort and contort your body than a mat which makes you smile each time you catch a glimpse of it.

And then there's the fact that once we're back at our weekly workouts (Psycle, we miss you), we'll be the envy of our class. I beg you to tell me what's not to love in this situation?

Whatever you're fulfilling your home workouts on, I implore you to ask yourself, would Jane Fonda in the eighties approve? If the answer is an ashamed no, then keep on scrolling for the best - and most stylish - yoga mats around.
