According to the type of yoga
1. Yoga, which is mainly based on soft training, often needs to be practiced on a mat. At this time, a thicker and softer yoga mat will make you more comfortable.
2. Similar to Power Yoga and other types of yoga, a thinner and harder mat is the right choice. Too soft yoga mats are not evenly stressed, which is not only difficult to perform in place, but also easy to fall.
3. If the movements you do are not so static, and you don’t sweat as much as running, then “choose thin and not thick”, because the grounding of the mat should be the first consideration, and laying it on the ground is like the same as the floor. The feeling of integration is the best, otherwise it is easy to be distorted. If you are in a kneeling motion, place a towel under your knees.

 

 

From the perspective of yoga proficiency
1. For beginners who are exposed to yoga for the first time, it is best to choose a thicker yoga mat such as 6-8 mm thick, which can prevent sports injuries, but also cannot choose a mat that is too thick for fear of pain, because too thick is easy to lose balance during practice , the center of gravity is unstable, resulting in a sprained foot.
2. Intermediate and advanced practitioners generally recommend a yoga mat with a thickness of 4-6 mm.
3. The hardcore fans and professional yogis generally use yoga mats with a thickness of 1.5-4 mm.
