Benefits of TRAVEL MATS:
The new trending topic around yoga community are TRAVEL MATS, they do not limit you when traveling or taking walks outdoors, in this article you will learn more about them.
TRAVEL MATS are the new best friends of yogis, especially nomads, the benefits of having a travel mat are:
- They weight 1 kilo, you will not have weight problems with them.
- Fold like T-shirts or roll up to fit very small spaces (fits in handbags).
- Maintain the quality of home or studio yoga mats.
- They are non-slip.
- They have cool prints to motivate you and give your photos a colorful touch.
- They are 100% biodegradable, ecological and vegan.
- You can wash them in the washing machine, you can get them dirty without regrets.
There are few brands in the world that sell travel mats, however, at CARAIBI we have a variety of travel mats in different colors and patterns for all tastes.
They were created to be used especially on soft floors, to do yoga in places like the beach and the park (sand and grass floors). The reason they are ideal for use on soft surfaces is that the travel mats are only 1mm thick.
TRAVEL MATS are not recommended to be used at home or in yoga studios because their thickness does not protect or cushion you from rough or prolonged contact in an asana with support on the rigid floor, that is, if you fall trying to do an inverted one, The mat is very thin to cushion this impact, or if you are holding breaths in an asana where you must use your knees or wrists for support, you will surely also feel discomfort.
Doing yoga on the beach or on the grass with a TRAVEL MAT gives you all the security you need, since the cushioning will be given by the soft ground, even if the mat is only 1mm thick.
Do you want to have your own mat so as not to be in contact with the one in your training center?
This is another opportunity to use your TRAVEL MAT, if your yoga or pilates center already has a mat, we recommend placing the travel mat on top and you will improve your practice while keeping distance from the material that many people use and for health reasons you should not use with direct contact.
How is the CARAIBI TRAVEL MAT ???
They are made of natural rubber and microfiber, the rubber is non-slip for the floor and the microfiber offers you a very soft and non-slip touch to make your practice a sublime and pleasant moment. We focus on natural inspiration for the patterns we have, you can find a sea mat, another of the galaxies mat and for the most “fancy” even a marble look.
Taking a TRAVEL MAT with you on a trip or for a walk will allow you to do any asana or complete practice without having to limit yourself, many times we limit ourselves to doing things by not carrying a mat and being afraid in new places of falling or slipping, with With a TRAVEL MAT you can clear those limits and free yourself wherever you need it.
Personally, I have learned to use the travel mat in my city many times even when I am not traveling or going for a walk, because I can carry it in my handbag and I always cycle without problems, in my yoga center I do not like to leave My 5mm mat because I don’t know if they can use it when I’m not there, so I place my travel mat on top of the yoga center mat.
We have prepared a YOUTUBE video so that you can see better what the TRAVEL MAT is like and above all how practical it is.
