If you practice soft yoga, you will often encounter the action of sitting on the mat. At this time, a thicker and softer yoga mat will make you more comfortable. However, if you practice strength yoga, flowing yoga or eight-legged yoga, you need a thinner and harder mat, but a yoga mat that is too soft is not convenient for movements. Some picky people will feel that the thick yoga mat hinders their contact with the ground and so on. In fact, the thickness of yoga mat mainly depends on personal preference.

If your movements are not so static and you sweat less than running, but somewhere in between, what kind of cushion should you use? I will answer, "I will choose a thinner one." Thick mats (above 5 mm) lose the feeling of contact with the ground, and there will be a "twisted" feeling when doing many actions. In foreign countries, most yoga practitioners love to use thin mats, which is the reason. If you feel uncomfortable with your knees when doing some kneeling movements, you can put a towel under your knees.
