Posted by Gymsportz Fitness on November 25th, 2019

You already know that there are various yoga styles. But did you know that there are also different kinds of yoga mats in Singapore that you can use for your practice? Yoga mats may look all the same at first glance, but they actually vary greatly in terms of thickness, texture, size, and shape. It’s important to look at these factors (aside from the color) when buying a yoga mat.

Gym equipment stores offer a wide range of yoga mats in Singapore, catering to every preference and budget. So, how do you choose the one that’s perfect for you? 

Body type or profile 

One the first things you should take into account when buying a yoga mat is your size and height. Standard yoga mats are 68 inches long, which is fine if you are of average height. But if you are on the taller side, then a standard yoga mat wouldn’t be comfortable for you. The longer yoga mats which are around 72 to 74 inches can be better options. 

Thickness

It is necessary to choose the right thickness of yoga mats because it will greatly affect your comfort and even your entire yoga practice. You don’t want to pick a mat that is too thin, or it might feel like you are doing your asanas directly on the floor. The standard thickness of yoga mats is 1/8 inch. But if you need more padding and extra support, go for ¼-inch mats.

Texture

Texture also matters because it offers traction so that you won’t easily slip. Texture likewise prevents injuries and helps you keep your balance on the mat. Yoga mats in Singapore come in different textures. The best way to figure out what you like is through trial and error. Don’t work on a mat that has too much traction or texture because the roughness will affect your comfort level. You may want to consider buying PVC yoga mats. This material is sticky, which helps prevent you from sliding and skidding.

So, where do you find your perfect yoga mat in Singapore? It’s actually easier now than before because there are plenty of stores online. But if you want to make sure that you are getting the best quality of yoga mat that will serve you for years, buy only from a leading gym store online.
