Three must-see points to choose a yoga mat

1. Since the yoga mat is in direct contact with the practitioner's skin and is itself a chemical, it must not be toxic or smelly.

Because the poisonous and smelly mat has not been treated with non-toxic and odorless, it has a very strong smell when first opened and smokes the eyes. After being scrubbed with water for a long time or placed in a dry place for about 20 days, the smell will become smaller, but the uncomfortable smell will always be There will be, practitioners will experience adverse reactions such as intermittent dizziness, nervous headaches, nausea and fatigue after long-term use.

2. A good yoga mat requires moderate material and weight, and the mat is not easy to deform after being laid down for a long time.

The yoga mats currently sold on the market are roughly divided into five materials: PVC, PVC foam, EVA, EPTM, and non-slip mats. Among them, PVC foaming is the most professional PVC content of 96%, yoga mats weigh about 1500 grams, EVA and EPT 'M are mainly used to make moisture-proof mats weigh about 500 grams. However, the mat made of this material is too light to be laid flat on the ground, and the ends of the mat are always rolled up. PVC and anti-slip mats do not use foaming technology, but are only cut from raw materials and weigh 3000 grams. Only one side has anti-slip patterns, and the anti-slip property is poor. Moreover, after using this mat for a period of time, there is no foaming cavity in the middle, and the mat will be flattened and will not rebound back to normal specifications.

3. How to tell if the Yu Bo mat is toxic:

Roll the new yoga mat into a column, use your nose to be 1 cm closer to one end of the yoga mat to smell if there is a pungent and unpleasant smell. The poisonous yoga mat has a very strong smell. After leaving the yoga mat open and flat for a few days, try again using the above method. If it still smells, it proves that there is something wrong with the mat. (Editor in charge: Tian Tian)
