The Naboso Mind Body Mat isn’t just any ordinary yoga mat.
The key feature of the Naboso mat is its unique surface, which is made up of a gentle, raised texture (there are spikes, but not like the Shakti Mat, reviewed here!) that activate the nerves in your feet and hands. This sensory stimulation enhances balance, proprioception, and overall body awareness and creates a more mindful and connected practice.
I've tested this mat while practising Yoga, Barre and Pilates. In standing exercises, I feel noticeably more steady and balanced. With that, I find my body becoming more aware of its alignment and position during each movement. It makes holding poses and transitions feel more grounded and focused.
I can't say I'm a huge fan of weight baring through my hands on the Naboso Mat. My delicate hands find the surface a bit uncomfortable during press-ups, planks and 4-point kneeling exercises. I also prefer the gentler rubbery grip of my Liforme Mat (reviewed here) in inversions and arm balances. I often use the Liforme Yoga Pad to give me the best of both worlds!
On the plus, the Naboso Mind Body Mat is durable and relatively lightweight. The surface gave me a solid grip, which prevented slipping during sweatier routines.
Overall, I've found the Naboso Mind Body Mat improves my practice by providing sensory feedback that truly encouraged deeper core engagement and made me feel stronger and steadier on my feet.
I would definitely recommend the Naboso Mind Body Mat for those who find struggle with standing balance work or want to explore a deeper mind-body connection. It's a great mat for Yoga and Barre. Perhaps stick with a more conventional cushioned mat for Pilates, though.
