Choosing A Travel Yoga Mat With Excellent Quality

By John MacKintosh


Even when traveling, a yogi must take with him or her all the essentials, and it includes a travel yoga mat. One with an excellent quality enables you to do your regular routines regardless of where you go. Because it's designed in a different way than the standard type, you can be sure it's not going to take up a lot of space in your luggage.

It can be folded easily for easy stashing in your suitcase, backpack and even a small hand bag. This is possible because it's thinner that the standard type. Whenever you're going on a trip, it's a wise idea to pack lightly. Now, you can spare yourself from taking along with you something cumbersome. Getting from point A to point B should be trouble-free as this must-have can weigh 1 to 5 pounds only.

The product is thinner that what's recommended for use everyday. Due to this, it can be easily damaged. Some poses may prove to be uncomfortable as well. But by placing the item over a rug, carpet or towel with the same size, the problem can be solved. Go for something that won't end up bunched while being used.

Most of them have a 24- x 68-inch size. But there are also larger ones that are suitable for use by tall yogis. You can be sure that even the largest one is still lighter than the standard because of the thinness. No matter where you are - in the hotel room, in your folks' home or by the seashore - getting a size that suits you should let you carry out your routines.

Such product is also generally easier to clean. You can have the one you own hand washed in the kitchen sink or bathtub. It also dries up really quickly because it's thin. However, not all products may have the same cleaning requirements. To ensure that you're taking care of yours properly, check the cleaning directions coming from the manufacturer.

Going for a cheap one isn't recommended. There are many high-quality ones intended for use by traveling yogis that carry reasonable price tags. They may not be made to be as tough as the standard types. But by opting for one coming from a reliable manufacturer, you can be sure that you'll be able to take it with you to many of your travels.

Ensure that the travel yoga mat you're eyeing is made from natural rubber. The surface should also provide excellent grip, especially if you're into routines that make you sweat a lot. Otherwise, it's easy to get yourself into an accident. The one you're intending to buy shouldn't sacrifice comfort, safety and durability over portability.
