Yoga & Pilates Mats

Soft foam yoga mats provide the maximum level of cushioning that is ideal for restorative workouts, Pilates and other floor-based exercises. Northern soft foam yoga mats ensure your sensitive joints are protected during your entire routines. While TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) yoga mats are made of lightweight, durable material, this mat prevents the absorption of moisture and bacteria. For professional athletes, commonly they choose rubber mats due to their high-traction surface, but this type of mat is quite heavy and may have some scent, especially if not properly maintained.

For a beginner on a fitness journey, a standard Northern 4mm yoga mat will provide excellent support and grip for yoga or Pilates workouts. But if you have sensitive joints or plan for high-volume floor-based movements, a Northern Thick Exercise mat or 10mm yoga mat is appropriate. But if you needed a space-saving mat, the foldable yoga mat is better. This type of mat can also be used as an additional training tool for flexibility or strength training exercise.

A high-quality yoga mat can be perfect for Pilates or bodyweight mobility exercises, but it is not applicable to high-intensity strength training that may involve hex dumbbells or kettlebells, causing the material to compress or tear over time. A foam exercise mat would be more appropriate for heavy workouts and high-intensity training with weights. Exercise mat can also protect your gym weights and the flooring from damage.

Rolled mats are commonly store by rolling them up then keeping them in yoga mat holders. While foldable yoga mats are lightweight mats and easy to carry making it very convenient to bring to the gym, yoga studio or when you are travelling.

After every session, wipe the surface down using a mixture of warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap. Do not use harsh chemicals or bleach that can damage the material. Use a soft cloth to remove the sweat and oils without scratching the texture. Make sure that before storing the yoga mat, it is completely dry to prevent moisture from getting trapped and causing any bad smell. Store it in a cool, dry place or in your multi-level weights rack.
