Sticky Yoga Mats
Yoga is a relaxing, positive form of exercise, but if not done with the right equipment can lead to
injury. A yoga mat is one of the most important pieces of yoga equipment you need to do yoga safely and properly. While there are a number of different types of yoga mats, sticky yoga mats can give you all the security that both you and your mat are stable and safe. They are also one of the most popular types of yoga mats for just this reason.
Sticky yoga mats are easy to pick out by their distinctive bumpy texture which is what gives them such superior grip. To get maximum grip you’ll want to ensure that both the bottom and top of the mat have this texture so that neither you or your mat slip.
Another great feature of these mats is their value for money, as they are usually the most inexpensive and also they get better with age. They are also available in a number of thicknesses, and are fairly odor-resistant.
Another consideration is the type of yoga that you practice. If you are a fan of Bikram, or hot yoga you may want to get a yoga mat that has added absorbency which you will probably need due to your increased perspiration. If you practice Vinyasa or flow yoga, you may want one that has increased traction on the bottom due to the fast pace of movement in this type of yoga.
