Benefits Of A Mat

When you use a yoga mat, you are more likely to be able to maintain your balance for longer. Imagine having to do poses where you rely on your shoulders for support. If you were doing yoga on a smooth and waxed wooden floor, it would be very difficult to hold a pose without your body sliding back and forth.

Yoga mats can keep you warm. As basic physics rules have told us for years and years, the floor is the coldest part of the room, as heat always goes up. Now, imagine having to lie down constantly on the floor during the winter. When you use a yoga mat, it can help transfer some of that body heat onto the surface, so you’ll have a warm place to come in contact with instead of that cold floor.

Another form of injury during yoga is a result of not getting enough comfort while you’re stretching and holding postures. You might end up with sore knees, back or shoulder pain. This is even riskier if you suffer from a condition like arthritis. This is why you need a yoga mat, and one with a sufficient amount of padding that will prevent you from ending up with sore muscles and joints (unless the soreness is a normal result of a quality workout, then you’re good).

It is sanitary. Imagine going to a yoga class without a mat. Think of your hands touching the floor that who knows how many hands and feet have walked on since someone last mopped the floor. Doing yoga without a yoga mat is simply unsanitary. Even when you do it at home, think of having to mop the floor, then waiting for it to dry, then doing your yoga session. A mat can provide you with a clean workout space, regardless of where you’re at.
