1. What kind of yoga mat is good
At present, TPE and PVC yoga mats are popular. These two yoga mats are environmental friendly products. They both meet the national environmental protection standards, can be recycled, and will not cause pollution to the environment. Among them, TPE is the most environmentally friendly to the human body and has no peculiar smell.
2. Function of yoga mat
2.1. The function of yoga mat is not only used for anti-skid, but also plays a certain protective role. When you are doing some knee landing movements, if the mat is too thin, the knee will have a strong squeezing feeling with the ground. For example, when we are doing tiger pose, we only have one hand and one leg landing on the ground, and the rest should be lifted up to maintain balance. If we do this yoga movement without using yoga mat, Then it will lead to injury, which is very harmful to our human health, so it is very important to make a suitable yoga mat for yoga.
2.2. Yoga mat is not only a tool, but also a protective tool for the body, which can protect you from injury, better protect your spine, knees and other joints, and also make you get a healthier body. And the Yoga towel can be used as an auxiliary tool to pad on the yoga mat. One is to increase the length, and the other is to put it on the body when we do the rest. Because after we do yoga for half a day, our body will have a lot of sweat. At this time, putting the yoga mat on our body can help us effectively prevent the symptoms of catching cold, which is conducive to our health.
3. How to use yoga mat
3.1. Keep the yoga mat clean. Yoga mat is in direct contact with skin. If there is too much dirt and bacteria on the surface, it will affect human health if it gets on human skin or bacteria invade the human body during use. In addition, if the mat is dirty, cross use by different people will also cause cross infection. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the hygiene of the mat and do a good job in cleaning and maintenance.
3.2. Do not expose the yoga mat. Although the yoga mat is made of good material and can withstand exposure to the sun, if it is often exposed to the sun, it will also bring adverse effects, such as fading. Therefore, when you don’t use the yoga mat, you should put it away, and don’t put it in the sun for a long time after cleaning.
3.3 pay attention to moisture and mildew prevention. Yoga mats are like ordinary mats. If they are damp, they will also become moldy and grow molds. Therefore, anti mold measures should be taken. It is recommended that they should not be placed near the water source at ordinary times. After each use, they should be dried with a dry cloth and dried after cleaning.
