Yoga has increasingly become a fitness program for people to cultivate their moral character, maintain their health and body shape. However, people don't know much about how to choose yoga supplies. Here is a brief introduction, hoping to be helpful to yoga enthusiasts.

Second, how to buy yoga.

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.

3. 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.

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.
