Which side of the yoga mat is the front 1, with wavy stripes facing up?
Generally, the yoga mats we buy are different on both sides, one side is completely smooth and flat, and the other side is uneven and striped. When using the yoga mat, the smooth and flat side faces down and the other side faces up, with ups and downs and stripes, which is the side we step on. In fact, there are many reasons to face up to the unsmooth side, such as anti-skid effect and helping training.
2. The yoga mat should not be too thick.
Many people buy yoga mats online, which is really convenient. However, many yoga mats on the Internet are customized at will to cater to public consumption. For example, many people think that yoga mats are too thin, so there are thick yoga mats online, but we are not suitable for yoga or fitness training. Generally, 6~8mm is enough, and anything above 10mm is not very formal.
Yoga mat What material is a good yoga mat? It is a mat laid under when practicing yoga. The types of yoga mats are generally divided into TPE foam, PVC foam, EVA, latex mat, CBR mat and so on.
1, TPE is the most upscale product of yoga mat, which contains no chloride and metal elements and is antistatic. Each floor mat is about1200g, which is about 300g lighter than PVC foam floor mats, so it is more suitable for carrying out. Features: Soft, docile, strong grip-safer on any ground. Compared with the yoga mat made of PVC, it is about 300 grams lighter and convenient to carry around.
2.pvc is cheap and of good quality. Pvc foam (the weight of yoga mat with 96% PVC content is about 1500g) PVC is the name of a chemical raw material. However, pvc does not have soft, non-slip and cushioning functions before foaming. Only after foaming can we produce finished products such as yoga mats and non-slip mats: PVC materials are affordable, available everywhere, guaranteed in quality and cost-effective.
3. Cloth cushions are hard to buy. Sometimes, in yoga class, we will see some people use brightly colored yoga mats, just like Arab flying carpets. It is said that this is an Indian yoga mat. This cloth mat is imported from India, and can be used on ordinary plastic yoga mats by hand dyeing. The reason for this is that the plastic yoga mat is not in good contact with the skin, and the cloth mat is soft and can be carried around, which plays an isolation role when using the public yoga mat. But I don't know if the anti-skid effect of the cloth pad is ideal.
4. Latex pad, formed by evaporation, with numerous pores and good air permeability. Because the surface of stomata is smooth, mites can't attach themselves, and latex juice has a very important feature, that is, many mosquitoes don't want to get close because of its fragrance. Excellent elasticity, no deformation, washable and durable. This is a good material for health. But latex itself can't stop the oxidation process, especially when exposed to ultraviolet light, the oxidation process is faster. Moreover, latex rubber is allergic, and about 8% people are allergic to latex.
