How thick is the yoga mat to choose?

The thickness of yoga mat is mainly 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm. Among them, 6 mm is the standard thickness, which is more suitable for beginners. The purpose of using a yoga mat is to prevent sports injuries. After a certain foundation and experience, you can switch to a yoga mat with a thickness of 3.5 mm to 5 mm. Of course, if you are very afraid of "pain", you can always use a relatively thick yoga mat for practice.
If you practice yoga that is mainly based on soft training, you will often encounter the action of sitting on the mat. At this time, a thicker and softer yoga mat will make you more comfortable. However, if you are practicing a type of yoga that is more pulsating like Power Yoga, Flow Yoga or Ashtanga Yoga, then you need a thinner and harder mat, and a yoga mat that is too soft is not convenient for doing movements.

Some people who are more particular also think that too thick yoga mats hinder their contact with the ground, etc. In fact, the thickness of yoga mats mainly depends on personal preferences. Yoga is suitable for all kinds of people, and there are many kinds of yoga mats to accompany practitioners. When choosing, you must choose a softer one that sticks to the ground. When laying flat, the grip should be strong, it cannot slide when sweating, and it is easy to carry. , To have better waterproof and anti-skid performance, even if you are sweating, you can practice on it with ease. The bottom of the mat is full of particles and will not slip.
