The specification of yoga mat is not only size, but also thickness. Generally, novices should use a thicker cushion (about 8mm), which can effectively protect their bodies. Some skilled people like to choose a thinner cushion (5mm or even thinner). You can consider the thickness more when buying a cushion.
In addition, the condition of the underlying surface itself is also very important. If you practice on a flat wooden floor with a yoga mat, it shouldn't be too embarrassing.
