Rug
That throw-rug lying on the wooden floor of your hotel room can be the perfect do-it-yourself yoga mat. You can roll it up and take it anywhere you want to. Long throw-rug turns into a nice soft mat when you practise yoga indoors. It would be better if the rug has a non-slip rubber back. If you don’t have a yoga mat and want to use your home rug as the mat, then buy a non-slip fabric and add it to one side with a glue gun so that it doesn’t slide.

Blanket
Fold it in half or in thirds for a manageable size. A blanket turned into a mat is great for practising yoga outdoors as well as indoors on a carpet. To avoid sliding while practising on the hardwood floor, place a non-slip rug underneath the blanket. Also Read - 5 effective yoga asanas that you can perform on your bed

Beach Towel
Want to do yoga on the beach? Just take out your beach towel. Cool, isn’t it? This could be a good option for practising indoors as well. However, using a non-slip fabric underneath is always advised.

Quilted Mat
If you don’t want to buy a yoga mat, a quilted mat can be the perfect option for you. It is good for both indoor and outdoor sessions. You can easily create a quilted yoga mat with the thickness you desire if you are a pro at handling a sewing machine. What you will need: Two yards of batting, four yards of fabric and bias tape. Place the quilted mat on top of a non-slip rug if you plan to practise yoga on a hardwood floor.
