If you want to become a master, you must have the equipment of a master. The yoga mat makes us feel comfortable and relaxed. The most important thing is that it can make us stick to it better and achieve our goal of practice!
Yoga has become the first choice of fitness for more and more people. For female white-collar workers in the city, the choice of yoga mat is the same as the choice of sports. High quality is the best choice.
Now there are a variety of yoga mats on the market, which can easily make people fussy. What kind of yoga mat is harmless to health, and can be used for a long time with excellent quality? Good Yubo mats should meet the following two requirements.
1. Yuzi Yoga Mat is in direct contact with the body skin of the practitioner. It is also a chemical product and must not be toxic or smelly.
The poisonous and odorous mat has not been treated with non-toxic and odorless treatment. When it is opened, it has a strong smell, which is very irritating to the eyes. After being scrubbed with water for a long time or placed in a dry place in the shade for about 20 days, the smell will be smaller, but the uncomfortable smell will always exist. After being used for a long time, practitioners will have intermittent dizziness, nervous headache, nausea and fatigue and other adverse reactions.
2. A good yoga mat requires moderate material weight, and it is not easy to deform even if the mat is laid for a long time.
Yoga mats sold on the market are roughly divided into five materials: PVC, PVC foam, EVA, EPTM and anti-skid mats. Among them, PVC foam is the most professional (PVC content is 96%, and the weight of yoga mat is about 1500g). EVA and EPT'M are mainly used as moisture-proof mats (weight is about 500g).
However, the mat made of this material is too light to be laid on the ground. The two ends of the mat are always rolled up. PVC and anti-skid pads are not made of foam technology, but only cut from raw materials (weighing about 3000 grams). Only one side has anti-skid lines, and the anti-skid performance is poor.
And after using this kind of cushion for a period of time, because there is no foam cavity in the middle, the cushion will be compressed and will not rebound to the normal specification.
How to clean yoga mat
Method 1
Yoga mat cleaning method that is often used and not too dirty.
Add 600ml water and a few drops of detergent into the sprayer, spray the yoga mat, and then dry it with a dry cloth.
Method 2
It is a method for cleaning yoga mats that are not used for a long time and have deep stains.
Fill the large basin with water and add detergent. The less detergent, the better, because any residue will make the yoga mat after cleaning slippery. Then scrub the mat with a damp cloth and rinse it clean. Roll up the yoga mat with a dry towel to absorb excess water. Open it and place it in a cool place to dry. Be sure to avoid direct sunlight.
Yoga supplies are necessary equipment in yoga practice, because they can better fit the whole person's state. It is better to equip some professional equipment when practicing yoga, so that the speed and state of the whole person entering yoga can be improved, and I hope it can help everyone.
When practicing yoga, you must pay attention to the equipment. Only in this way can you better improve the mental state and effect of the whole person. The state is very important when practicing yoga, which is why so many people choose now.
Classification of yoga mats
PVC
It is the most common material in the market. Compared with other yoga mats, its biggest advantage lies in its affordable price. This kind of cushion has uniform holes and slightly high density, and anti crack cloth is added inside.
But ordinary ones are enough for daily use. The disadvantage of PVC is that some harmful gases may be released during processing. So the new mat will smell. The raised anti-skid lines on the surface will generally disperse after being used for a long time.
TPE
TPE is a relatively environment-friendly material. In addition, its smell should be smaller. It's light to carry, so it's easier to carry. However, sweat absorption may be slightly less.
hemp
Pure natural, with flax and jute materials. The natural hemp has insufficient ductility and is slightly rough. The manufacturer will generally treat it, such as adding rubber latex, and it will be heavier after treatment.
rubber
Good ductility. There are natural rubber and industrial rubber. The selling point of natural rubber yoga mat is pure nature, returning to nature. But it is usually heavy. The price is no less than 300-1000 yuan.
Common carpet
Don't choose that kind of fur carpet. It is better to use the special carpet for the dance room. But the carpet is not easy to clean. If there are bacteria, fungi, mites, etc. in the carpet, it is troublesome to clean, and it needs to be exposed to the sun frequently.
