Bewitching ArtA Different form of Art

We’ve all experienced the uncomfortable feeling of doing our exercises on a thin mat. Thin mats have a purpose. In fact thin mats are used in yoga so you can feel more secure in your poses, but when doing Pilates exercises switch to a thicker mat for more comfort. A Pilates mat is designed differently than a yoga mat. The most attractive ones on the market are ones made of closed cell foam. These are thicker and firmer, long and wider. Pilates mats make a great investment.

When doing Pilates floor exercises matshelp save your body from the hardness of a wood floor. Mats range in prices but if you need to save a few dollars you might be wiser buying one that give you the needed protection and in those cases the mats will be pricier. That is why Pilates studios and physical therapists choose ones that provide the most comfort ability to their clients. Some mats are used for hydrotherapy and water rehabilitation. High standards of quality assurance and versatility are worth the investment.

So the next time you go to your fitness center to take a Pilates mat classand they hand you a yoga mat, you may need to bring a Pilates mat in with you the next time.
