Sun Salutation or Freedom Flow?
Same size, same material, same price. The only real difference is whether the pictures ask your child to stand up or to settle down.
Sun Salutation
Standing poses, numbered one to fifteen.
Mouse, cow, cat, downward dog, dolphin, rag doll, mountain, chair, rainbow, frog, airplane, eagle, deer, tree, dancer.
Choose this if
- A child who wants to get up and move
- Burning off energy before tea or after school
- Following a sequence in order, one to fifteen
Freedom Flow
A calmer floor sequence.
Butterfly, flower, star, boat, fish, bridge, crab and the rest, all done sitting or lying down.
Choose this if
- Winding down rather than winding up
- Bedtime, or a quiet corner in the afternoon
- Younger children still finding their balance
Identical in every other way
There is no better or worse mat here, and nothing is held back for the more expensive one, because there isn't one.

Still not sure?
Most parents start with Sun Salutation, because standing poses are easier for a child to copy on their own. One buyer told us her only mistake was buying one mat instead of two.
