My Own New Thick Yoga Mat
Many people have told me about thicker yoga mats. Some say it feels better and easier to practice on It never occurred to me that my mat may be even more comfortable. I borrowed a mat from the store, to take it on a test run, to see how it would feel over a week or so.
I checked out some online stores, read a few reviews. I was surprised to see so many sites on this topic. There was even a fanclub. I found this one to be rather helpful – . Some good points were made on this site – Reviews of Thick Yoga Mats
I picked up a neat little mat. It was pretty thick and had a nice ruffled surface.
It is safe to say – I felt it right away. There was a big improvement. My thick yoga mat was made of natural rubber with special stitching and a fabric surface. I felt as if my feet were firmly planted in sand.My balance has improved. There was more stability. I was constantly getting stuck to the mat while moving around. I was faced with a problem of loss of mobility, the mat was sucking me in.
My knees felt much better after class. My back bones were not as hurt. I know understood why everyone enjoyed this so much. It was a key to much gentler practice.
