Soulgenie Health Pathways LLP - Floor Mats

The yoga mat is the best friend to yogis extremely personal. So you would want a mat that you feel one with and which will be with you for some time. The right Cushioning between your body and the floor is a big necessity of a yoga mat not too much; not too little. This densely woven 4 mm mat provides the right yet natural cushioning.A yoga mat can actually improve your balance. The soft surface lets your feet sink just a little bit, giving your foot more support. The soft base also allows your foot to roll easier and more subtly for minor adjustments necessary to balance. For stretching postures, these are essential to users.

The Spike Acupressure mat, also called as the Nail Mat, Shakti Mat or then, just a Spike Mat refer to the same kind of mat. These mats are NOT Yoga Mats but more of relaxation mats or mats to just be upon for a few minutes daily. They are cotton mats with bunches of nylon or plastic spikes fixed on them. You are supposed to gently ease your weight on the mats while the spikes stimulate the nerve endings on your body. As they do so, they stimulate the skin and secretion of the hormone, oxytocin which is said to be a relaxing hormone. Amazingly popular the world over (it is believed, one in every sixth person in Sweden has got one!) it is put to daily use to relieve, stress, pain, tension and insomnia.

We would recommend these sticky mats as great starter mats for Ashtanga Practice. While normally one would think that a thicker mat is better than a thinner mat, in actuality it is not so! A thicker mat not only experiences uneven stretch (something that is irritating to the pose stability), but it is also easily torn apart OR causes unnatural surface depressions over time of a rigorous ashtanga practice. You should have a mat which is minimally thick to provide just the right level of cushioning for your joints without affecting your practice flow!
