Introduction to the use of non-slip sports yoga mats

1. Where to put the yoga mat for ventilation after use?

The environmentally friendly yoga mat is made of natural latex, hemp and other natural materials, and does not contain PVC. At present, TPE is an environmentally friendly and popular yoga mat. Someone asked why the TPE yoga mat also smelled?

The package of TPE yoga mat is made of plastic film, and TPE itself is also degradable, especially under high temperature. TPE is a double layer with strong glue between the two layers, and it is encapsulated after leaving the factory, so the smell of the glue will take a while to dissipate. When packaging TPE yoga mats, in order to prevent the mats from sticking together, a layer of talcum powder or the like is applied to the surface, which is also one of the sources of taste. Therefore, the smell of TPE yoga mat is plastic film, super glue, and slippery surface coating. Because the mat is encapsulated, the smell cannot be dissipated.

Solution: After disassembling, wipe it with a wet towel and water and dry it in a ventilated place. There will be no odor in the future.

After having a yoga mat of your own, you must not only take care of it carefully, but also clean it frequently. To ensure hygiene, clean it once a week.

For ordinary simple cleaning, just wipe it with a wet towel and dry it, or you can use two cups of water and 4 drops of dishwashing detergent into the sprayer, spray the yoga mat, and then wipe it with a dry cloth dry.

When the TPE cushion is not in use, roll it up and tie it up with a wool buckle, or simply lay it flat, do not fold it, or it will crease and severely crack.

Precautions

If the mat is very dirty, you can use a neutral detergent to wash it directly with water. It is not recommended to wash it with detergent. Because it is difficult to wash off the washing powder residue, it will make the yoga mat slippery. Wipe the mat gently with a cloth dipped in neutral cleaning liquid water, then rinse it with clean water, roll up the yoga mat with a dry towel, absorb the excess water and dry it. In addition, do not expose the yoga mat made of PVC and TPE to the sun, which will accelerate the aging of the material.

Second, the yoga mat is barefoot or wear shoes

There are two meanings of bare feet: one is easy to slip when doing asanas, especially standing poses, or the contact between the socks and the soles of the feet deviates with your exertion, and even the socks heels are twisted to the insteps, which is very funny The second is a kind of restraint on your body, which will hinder your intimate communication with the outside world, affect the blood circulation of the feet, and hinder the perception of the feet, which will bring inconvenience to your yoga practice, so we recommend you to practice Take off your socks and experience the smooth flow from head to toe.

Barefoot training is a characteristic of yoga, and it is also a physical and psychological need to release the body and gain balance. When a person maintains a standing position,

People's weight is pressed on the body structure-one foot. The evolution of the foot allows it to support the body to maintain a standing posture. Foot knot

The structure, together with its muscle structure, embodies nature's extraordinary ability to cushion the reaction force.

However, because most people now wear hard-soled shoes and walk on flat masonry roads, this wonderful body

The structure is overwhelmed. Yoga barefoot exercise is precisely to restore the strength of the foot and calf muscles and adapt to the road.

In the process of yoga practice, bare feet give people a kind of relaxation, return to oneself, and find the connection between people and the ground.

In the early stages of training, the emphasis is usually on simple movements like standing upright, which is something that a one-year-old child can do.

If people feel that they can complete the three arches of the body's feet and the muscles that control the arches through the three contact points between the feet and the ground. Bare feet played a decisive role.

Barefoot training helps us to connect and balance the arch and the ground, maintain stability and a good state, and perceive the results of yoga asana training.

Bare feet are generally suitable for practice in spring, summer, autumn and winter in a warm room.

3. Wear socks on the yoga mat to lose weight

Although many companies are selling these products to you, there is no need to wear socks and gloves during practice unless you are practicing on the floor instead of on a yoga mat.

Without any interference, getting a complete sense of grounding is very important for yoga practice.

Yoga socks and gloves may get together and hinder the completion of yoga movements, and they will also become an obstacle between you and the yoga mat, preventing you from getting grounded.

In addition, the bacteria that grow on these items may also be transmitted to the yoga mat and your body. As a result, you will have to replace a new yoga mat.

If your yoga mat is slippery, you can go to the store to buy another yoga mat with better slip resistance to ensure the stability of your feet and hands.

Now, do you understand? Remember when doing yoga again, come on!

Ms. Citizen Qu: I like yoga very much. I go to the yoga studio to practice every night or after get off work at noon. The hot weather did not extinguish my enthusiasm, but I found a lot of small bubbles on my feet. I usually pay attention to personal hygiene. Is this related to the public yoga mat?

Professor Liu Yibing, Dean of the Department of Sports Human Sciences, Jilin Institute of Physical Education: Yoga blankets are notorious spreaders of plantar warts (common warts that occur on the soles of the feet, caused by viral infections, can be infected through tiny skin breaks), caused by sweat Humid environment is conducive to the spread of warts, especially common blankets are more likely to cause foot and plantar warts. So when you go to a yoga studio to practice yoga, try to bring your own yoga mat or prepare a pair of socks to avoid infection.

4. Is it necessary to buy a yoga mat and towel?

Yoga drape is a kind that can be used in conjunction with PVC yoga mats. Doing yoga on it can reduce contact with yoga mats and make yoga mats lasting and clean as new. Towel cloth is used, and silica gel is used to increase slip resistance, which makes the process of laying towels more stable.

The warp and weft of the towel fabric used are first-class superfine fibers with uniform dyeing and durability. The seaming thread adopts eight high-elastic polyester threads, which are beautiful, strong and durable. However, common manufacturers use six or even four seaming threads and counterfeit polyester. The edges are loose and easy to fall off and are not beautiful.

Silicon dioxide

Alias: Silicone rubber is a highly active adsorption material, non-toxic, odorless, chemically stable, except for strong alkali, hydrofluoric acid reacts with any substance outside. It has many other similar materials that are difficult to replace: high adsorption performance, Good thermal stability, stable chemical properties, high mechanical strength, etc.

Silica gel is a biological material with considerable light separation in cosmetic surgery. It has good compatibility with monks, no irritation to human tissues, no toxicity, no allergic reaction, and minimal body rejection; it has good physical and chemical properties , It can maintain its original elasticity and softness during contact with body fluids and tissues without being degraded

1. Spread on a yoga mat to absorb sweat. (Know that when doing yoga exercises, the body will expel a lot of sweat, dripping on the yoga mat,

If the sticking is uncomfortable, you can use this super absorbent drape on the yoga mat at this time to effectively absorb sweat)

2. Prevent the inhalation of bacteria on the yoga mat, and prevent certain facial movements from inhaling bacteria or dust mites when doing yoga.

3. The capillary adsorption effect of superfine fiber makes the fabric have the characteristics of fast water absorption and quick drying.

4. There are non-slip rubber particles on the back, which can fix the drape on the mat without sliding, and effectively assist the stretching and balance of yoga exercises.

Improve sports safety and comfort. During exercise, the bumps and bumps of the rubber particles have a good massage effect on the soles and backs of the feet and promote blood circulation.

5. Lightweight, multi-purpose, easy to carry.

6. Machine washable, easy to clean. It is a fairly stable inert material, such as: nasal prosthesis, artificial jaw, etc.
