A high-quality yoga mat should have outstanding resilience, flatness, slip resistance, and skin affinity. If the slip resistance of the yoga mat is not good, there is a risk of falling when standing on it. What should be done if the yoga mat is not slip resistant? You can place a relatively large blanket under the yoga mat, or sprinkle an appropriate amount of starch under the yoga mat, purchase professional yoga non slip socks, etc. When choosing a yoga mat, attention should be paid to its anti slip properties. So, how to choose an anti slip yoga mat? Let's take a look below.

1、 What to do if the yoga mat is not slip resistant

The main reason why yoga mats are slippery is that they experience very little friction, so increasing the friction between the mat and the ground can prevent the mat from slipping.

1. If the yoga mat is slippery on the ground, you can place a relatively large blanket under the mat or directly place the mat on the carpet to increase its friction, so that the mat will not slide.

2. Sprinkle an appropriate amount of starch on the ground, and then place the yoga mat on top of the starch, which can also have an anti slip effect.

3. Purchase professional yoga non slip socks so that you won't slip while practicing yoga.

4. Lay a yoga towel on top of the yoga mat for anti slip treatment.

5. Regularly clean yoga mats. Yoga mats used on the ground are prone to slipping if they are covered with a lot of dust.

6. Stick double-sided tape at the corners of the yoga mat to prevent slipping.

7. Purchase a new yoga mat.

2、 How to choose an anti slip yoga mat

1. Do not choose a flat surface cushion

When choosing an anti slip yoga mat, it is not advisable to choose a yoga mat with a smooth surface. If the surface of the yoga mat is very flat, it is very likely that the friction between the yoga mat and the ground will be very small, leading to the sliding of the yoga mat. So when choosing, try to choose some relatively rough yoga mats.

2. Choose patterns with protrusions

When choosing an anti slip yoga mat, it is best to choose patterns with protrusions. These patterns will be uneven, increasing the friction of the mat and preventing people from easily falling during exercise. If a yoga mat without uneven patterns is used, the chance of accidents during exercise will greatly increase.

3. Hard foam material is not selected

When shopping for non slip yoga mat, you should also pay attention to that you cannot choose yoga mat made of hard foam or eva. If you choose yoga mats made of these two materials, there is a high possibility of slipping on the soles of your feet during exercise, which can lead to accidents.

4. Choose a yoga mat made of natural rubber material

The yoga mat made of natural rubber material has excellent anti slip, elasticity, and grip. When placed on the ground for exercise, there is generally no need to consider the issue of being fixed or not fixed.
