Precautions For Choosing And Purchasing Yoga Mats

When choosing a yoga mat, you should pay attention to the following points: the length should not be shorter than the height, and the width should not be narrower than the width of the shoulders.
The thickness is about 6mm, and the cushion that is too thin will feel pain when the joint touches the ground, and too thick will affect the stability of the standing action. (Generally speaking, beginners choose a 7MM yoga mat is more moderate).

Observe the elasticity of the yoga mat. Pinching the yoga mat with your hands, if you feel that the fingers are easily pinched together, it proves that the yoga mat is too soft, even if the yoga mat is thick, the joints such as knees will hurt when they touch the ground. If the yoga mat is too hard, it is not very good, our fragile skin is unacceptable, and it is easy to break, and it is not easy to store. Be sure to choose a yoga mat with good elasticity and moderate hardness to match your practice.

Uniformity of the yoga mat. Lay the yoga mat flat and observe how evenly it foams, if the foaming surface is uneven, it is easy to cause damage during use. If the foamed bulge is broken, it cannot be repaired.

Moderate weight. Because yoga mats need to be carried with us many times, try not to choose too heavy mats so that they can be carried around.
The anti-slip of the mat surface, the mat is flat with the palm of the hand to press the mat firmly and then push forward, if the mat slides on the ground or the hand slides on the mat surface, it means that the slip resistance of the mat is not very good. There is a risk of unnecessary injury during practice, such mats should be used with caution.
