Because the average height of the human body in various regions of China is below 185cm, a yoga mat of 6 1cmx 183cm (known as the extended type in the industry) is enough, but for better display, the width of yoga mats sold in China is basically 80cm.
According to different heights and body shapes, you can buy yoga mats in the following sizes: people with a height of 175cm or less use 610x1730 mm; 2.610x1830mm for people under 85cm in height; 3.800 x1830 mm for people with shoulder width over 50cm or people on the side; Suitable for double yoga, couple yoga, parent-child yoga, outdoor camping and children's fall prevention. Use 1200x 1830mm.
Extended data:
The international standard thickness of yoga mat is1.5 mm-8 mm. If you just practice yoga, it is recommended that you use a 6-8MM mat. If it is too thick, it is easy to cause imbalance, ankle sprain and other injuries during practice: the thickness of 4-6MM is used by middle and advanced practitioners; The thickness of 1.5-4MM is widely used by fans and professional yogis, and this profession knows it.
At present, the materials of yoga mats in the international market are mainly divided into four types: rubber mats (natural rubber)-royal, linen mats (natural flax+natural rubber)-aristocrats, TPE (special environmental protection materials)-high-end specialties. PVC (polyvinyl chloride foam)-popular. In the market, there are already some supernatural mats in Ceng Jing, such as nitrile rubber (Ding Cheng rubber) and EVA, which are relatively cheap. However, because the materials are not suitable for practicing yoga, they are more suitable for the rehabilitation and home use of the elderly. Many people bought it and went to the gym and were told by the coach that it was not a yoga mat, so yoga places and yoga lovers all over the world basically stopped using it.
Choose the right cushion according to your own conditions. At first, I recommend you to use 8 mm PVC or 6 mm TPE. If the conditions are good, or you are preparing for a professional internship, I recommend you to use a rubber pad or a linen pad.
