Do you know the hazards of public yoga mats?

There are various materials, sizes, colors and designs of yoga mats on the Internet. I always don’t know which one to buy? So I didn’t buy it at all and used the public yoga mats in the yoga studio. In fact, this is just a simple reason. The real reason is: I’m too lazy to hold a heavy yoga mat and run back and forth. Sometimes there is a class for two days. Also bring it, which is why most of the public cushions are used. So what harm can public yoga mats bring to everyone?

1. The smell is unpleasant

When practicing yoga, we don’t wear socks, and some classmates have no way to wash their feet after a day’s running or a day’s work. Therefore, standing on the yoga mat at this time, the dirt or smell on the feet is directly absorbed on the mat. On, it will be kept on it for a long time. Seriously affect the indoor air quality.

2. Bacteria spread

Through 1, we know that if the mat is shared, it will cause the spread of bacteria. Some people have fungus on their feet, and they will be infected directly through contact. If you are just blindly lazy, you will lose more than you gain. You may have a skin disease unknowingly, but you still don't know where the problem is.

3. Affect breathing

This is also in the case of 1, when we usually practice yoga, we need to cooperate with the breathing to complete, inhale fresh air, exhale the exhaust gas in the body, so when the air circulation is not good, the yoga mat emits an unpleasant smell , Do you feel that you just want to hold your breath?

Some people say that yoga studios do not regularly carry out care and disinfection? What I want to tell you is that very few yoga studios do this, because it takes time, and it takes a certain amount of space and time after each yoga mat is cleaned, so it is difficult to do it.

Suggestion: Bring your own yoga mat. Don’t be afraid of trouble for your health. If you are far away and don’t want to bring it, we can bring our own yoga mat, which can also be spread on the yoga mat.
