Precautions for choosing a suitable non-slip yoga mat

When choosing a suitable non-slip yoga mat, what should we pay attention to?

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 5mm. A cushion that is too thin will feel pain when the joints touch the ground, and too thick will affect the stability of standing movements.

3. Observe the elasticity of the yoga mat. Squeeze the yoga mat with your hands. If you feel that your fingers are easy to pinch together, it proves that the yoga mat is too soft. Even if the yoga mat is thicker, the joints such as the knees will be painful when they touch the ground. If the yoga mat is too hard, it is not very good. Our fragile skin cannot accept it, and it is easy to break and not easy to store. Be sure to choose a yoga mat with good flexibility and moderate hardness to match your practice.

4. The uniformity of the yoga mat. Lay the yoga mat flat and observe the uniformity of its foaming. If the foaming surface is uneven, it will easily be damaged during use. If the foam protrusion is damaged, it cannot be repaired.

5. Moderate weight. Because yoga mats often need to be carried with us, try not to choose too heavy mats for easy carrying.

6. The anti-slip property of the cushion surface, the cushion is flat, press the cushion firmly with the palm and then push forward. If the cushion slides on the ground or the hand slides on the cushion surface, the anti-slip property of the cushion is not very good. It is possible to cause unnecessary injury during the exercise, this kind of mat should be used with caution.
