If
a person is planning on doing hot yoga (Bikram), it is important that
the hot yoga mat is anti-slippery so that when the person sweats the
increased condensation does not lead to slipping and falling.
Hot yoga, for those who do not know, involves performing a number
of flowing poses in a room that has been heated to 95 or 100 degrees.
As could be imagined, people doing this type of yoga tend to sweat
quite a bit.
It is most sanitary if you have your own hot yoga mat and towel since
you will be sweating so much. It is a good idea to clean the mat between
sessions in order to keep it in good condition.
As long as a person takes the proper sanitary and safety precautions,
there are many mats that can be used as a hot yoga mat.
