When you buy a yoga mat, it is not so easy to choose. There are mats of many types as shown below. But there are some things you should keep in mind, we have compiled a list to help you: - Grip - the yoga mat should provide sufficient friction so that you do not slip around on the mat when you do different asanas
- Environmentally friendly - materials degrade differently. In addition, some cheap yoga mats contain traces of heavy metals. All of our yoga mats are guaranteed free of toxins and heavy metals
- Moisture Resistance - if you sweat a lot. Some mats provides much poorer grip when and maye even shorten the life cycle of the mat as the the moisture makes the mat break up into small pieces
- Weight - If you always practice in the same place the weight does not matter, but if you are on the move, it might be nice to have less to carry around.
- Durability - how long can you keep the same yoga mat
- Dampening - A yoga mat should not be too thin, then it can be painful in some asanas, but also not too thick, then balance will not be good as the foot is no longer clearly can feel the floor.
