Yoga mats can reduce the body's pain caused by contact with the ground, prevent various injuries, and can effectively block the cold on the ground, play a non-slip effect, and are one of the spare parts when practicing yoga. The following points should be paid attention to when choosing and maintaining yoga mats:
1. The uniformity of the yoga mat should be appropriate: spread the yoga mat flat. If the foam is uneven, it will be easily damaged during use. If the foaming protrusion is damaged, it cannot be repaired.
2. The size, thickness, and lightness are important and appropriate: the length should not be short and the height, the width should not be narrower than the shoulder width, and the thickness should be about 5 mm. Too thick yoga mats will affect the stability of standing, try not to choose too heavy Cushion for easy carrying.
3. Observe the elasticity of the yoga mat: squeeze the yoga mat with your hands. If you feel the fingers are easy to pinch together, it proves that the yoga mat is too soft. If such a yoga mat is thicker in time, the joints will be painful when they touch the ground. If yoga is too hard, it will not only make the skin unacceptable, but also break easily.
4. Slip resistance of the mat surface: lay the yoga mat flat, press the yoga mat firmly with the palm, and then push forward. If the yoga mat slides on the ground or the hand slides on the mat surface, it means that the yoga mat is not slip resistant. Very good, a yoga mat with poor slip resistance may cause unnecessary injury during practice.
5. Maintenance method: pay attention to maintenance after buying the yoga mat. Do not expose it to the sun. Wipe it with a damp cloth after each use, and then air dry it in a cool place.
