What material do you buy for the yoga mat? How thick do novices buy?
Yoga mat is an essential equipment for practicing yoga. At present, there are four kinds of yoga mat materials on the market, namely rubber mat, linen mat, TPE and PVC. TPE and PVC are commonly used. Yoga beginners can choose TPE material. Let's see how to choose a yoga mat.

What material should I buy for the yoga mat? 1.TPE yoga mat is an environmentally friendly material of natural latex and hemp, which can be recycled and reused without causing environmental pollution after being discarded. It mainly has the characteristics of good elasticity, good anti-skid effect, good toughness and strong tension.

2. Rubber yoga mat is an environmentally friendly material made of rubber. If it is natural, it is usually picked directly from rubber trees, which is very environmentally friendly, but the price is very high;

3.PVC yoga mat Now this material has been upgraded to high-density PVC, which is very durable and people are slowly praising it.

4.PU yoga mat is a new material that appeared in recent two years. Generally, it is wet and dry, with high comfort, but low durability.

5. Generally used for meditation or meditation. It is said that it has the function of gathering energy.

How thick a mat a novice can buy, not the thicker the better. If you buy it in a store, you should pinch the yoga mat with your thumb and forefinger to try to resist pressure.

Generally beginners suggest a 6-8mm yoga mat; 4-6mm is enough for people with certain experience. The length of the yoga mat is generally 173cm, but there are also extended versions of 180cm or 183cm.

Because beginners' action essentials are generally not in place, accidents are prone to occur. The cushion is too thick, and it is easy to sprain my ankle, so it is not convenient to do movements. If it is too thin, it will be more painful and easy to bruise for beginners to do some kneeling movements.

What brands of yoga mats can I buy? 1, lululemon Lulu's foot pad, the anti-skid performance is not bad. My members and I like their clothes better than cushions, and now it is synonymous with fashion. Pay attention to the maintenance of the floor mat, otherwise it is easy to leave traces!

2, Manduka frog home mat is a black mat, very durable! Suitable for aerobics training! However, it is not as good as other brands in anti-slip, and it is quite heavy and not easy to take out. Can only be put in the museum, haha!

3. IKU Aikujia's cushion material is mostly TPE, and other materials are also available, but not as much as TPE. It works fine. Non-slip, environmental protection, good balance!
