Inventory: Tips for purchasing yoga mats

Of course, yoga mats are indispensable to practicing yoga, but how should we purchase these yoga supplies and what issues should we pay attention to when purchasing them? Today, Xiaobian will discuss with you how to choose yoga supplies that suit you.

When purchasing a yoga mat, you should pay attention to the following points:

1。The length should not be shorter than the height, and the width should not be narrower than the shoulder width.

2。The thickness is about 6 mm. A cushion that is too thin will feel pain when the joints contact the ground, and too thick will affect the stability of standing movements. (Generally speaking, it is more appropriate for beginners to choose a 7MM yoga mat)

3。Observe the elasticity of the yoga mat. Pressing the yoga mat with your hands, if you feel that your fingers are easy to pinch together, proves that the yoga mat is too soft. No matter how thick such a yoga mat is, joints such as knees will hurt when they touch the ground. For example, the yoga mat is too hard and not very good, which is unacceptable to our fragile skin, and it is easy to break and is not easy to store. Be sure to choose a yoga mat with good elasticity and moderate hardness to match your practice.

4。Uniformity of yoga mats. Lay the yoga mat flat and observe the uniformity of foaming. If the mat surface is unevenly foamed, it will easily be damaged during use. If the foamed raised part is damaged, it cannot be repaired.

5。Moderate weight. Because yoga mats are often needed to carry with us, we should try not to choose too heavy mats for easy carrying with us.

6。For the anti-slip property of the cushion surface, the cushion is laid flat, pressed hard with the palm of your hand and pushed forward. If the cushion slides on the ground or your hand slides on the cushion surface, it means that the anti-slip property of the cushion is not very good. Unnecessary injuries may occur during practice, so such mats should be used with caution.
