Overview
Bala's yoga mat pairs a PU top coat with a natural rubber base, sold in a Blush color and weighing 6.22 pounds. That weight puts it toward the denser end of home yoga mats rather than a thin travel mat.
A natural rubber base under a PU top coat is a common combination for grip focused mats, trading some portability for traction on the surface. At 6.22 pounds this mat sits heavier than typical foam travel mats, which usually points to a thicker, denser build meant to stay in one spot rather than get rolled up for the gym bag daily. Bala is known in the fitness space mainly for wearable weights, so this mat extends that line into flooring.
- PU top coat over natural rubber base
- 6.22 lb weight
- Blush color
- Sized for home yoga practice
Who it's for
Suits home practice where the mat can stay laid out, for someone who wants a grip focused rubber base over a lightweight travel mat. Less suited to anyone carrying a mat to a studio each day.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- PU top coat grips well under sweat
- Rubber base resists sliding on hard floors
- Denser build for a stable home mat
- 6.22 pounds is heavy to carry daily
- Not built as a rollable travel mat
Performance notes
The PU top coat is chosen mainly for grip under sweat, while the natural rubber base adds cushioning and keeps the mat from sliding on hard floors. The 6.22 pound weight reflects that denser build, at the cost of easy portability.
