About how to buy yoga supplies

I. Types of yoga supplies to buy and timing of purchase.

Yoga supplies include yoga clothes, yoga mats, yoga bricks, yoga ropes, yoga balls, yoga dumbbells, yoga gloves, yoga socks, yoga stretch bands, yoga VCDs, books, etc., which are all-inclusive and have a wide variety. According to the order of use, the main ones are yoga clothes, yoga mats, and VCD are needed at the beginning of practice and are the minimum tool for practicing yoga. For beginners, clothes, mats, and VCD need to be purchased first, while yoga ropes, balls, belts, bricks, dumbbells, etc. are gradually added based on a certain yoga basis.

II. How to choose yoga clothes.

Yoga exercise has a large range of movements, requiring clothing to choose materials with better stretchable properties. At the same time, exercise sweats more, requiring materials to have relatively high sweat absorption and breathability. Some nylon on the market have good elasticity but poor sweat absorption. Some have good sweat absorption but no elasticity at all and are loose when worn. It is best to use materials that are rich in stretch and sweat absorption to achieve the best balance between the two. Wearing it on your body, you will not only feel comfortable close to the body, but also stretch freely. When selecting pants, it is recommended to use pants with straps as much as possible.

III. How to choose a yoga mat.

Traditional yoga mats are made of cloth, straw, and rubber, but these materials cannot meet the anti-slip, positioning, and shock-absorbing requirements of yoga. Yoga Products launches a yoga mat made from a mixture of PVC and fabric fibers. This product has stronger traction and slip resistance, good elasticity, wear resistance, and tear resistance; it can play a good protective role in yoga exercises.

IV. How to purchase an exercise VCD.

VCD is like a textbook. Try to choose VCD tutorials from famous professional masters. Ensure the mental skills of practice, standardize the movements, etc. Such as Whelan's Yoga VCD.

As the practice deepens, you can appropriately increase the purchase of other yoga supplies. In short, if you insist on measuring products according to professional and environmentally friendly standards when purchasing, the purchase satisfaction rate will be greatly improved.
