Experts teach you how to choose the right yoga mat

Teacher Lan Li suggested that the following issues should be considered before purchasing a yoga mat:

1. Is it easy to lay down the yoga mat when it is laid flat on the ground?

2. Will it be easy to slip after sweating?

3. Does the manufacturer indicate a "useful life"?

4. Is it easy to carry?

5. Is its material environmentally friendly? How much impact will it have on the environment after being eliminated?

5 tips to help you buy the right yoga mat:

1. Use your thumb and index finger to pinch the yoga mat and try to see how it is pressure-resistant. A yoga mat with good elasticity is more protective to the human body.

2. Carry an eraser with you before buying, use it to wipe the yoga mat, and try to see if the material breaks easily?

3. Gently push the surface of the mat with your palm to feel dry. If too much foaming agent remains on the surface of the mat, it will feel slippery, and it will easily slip and fall when practicing on it.

4. Those who are new to yoga can choose a thicker mat, such as a 6mm thick one; if you have a certain foundation, you can choose a yoga mat with a thickness of about 3.5mm-5mm.

5. Compared with traditional yoga mats made of PVC, an environmentally friendly yoga mat mixed with natural latex and hemp is slightly more expensive, but it will be better for the human body and the environment. When the economy permits, consider it. (Editor in charge: Song Xue)
