Are yoga mats the same as exercise mats?

I need to buy an exercise mat for my home workout videos, but all I can find are yoga mats. Will yoga mats work as well?

The difference between yoga mats and exercise mats is one of thickness of the mat, and springiness. Most yoga mats would be suitable for workouts an ashtanga yoga mat would work nicely, as youhave to do a lot of jumping around in ashtanga.
