TPE yoga mat: Assuming it is a double-layer yoga mat with different colors on both sides, one side has a pattern and the other has ripples, then the side with the pattern should be the front side, which should face up; suppose it is a single-layer yoga mat with the same two sides, then There is no need to separate the back side, the effect on both sides is the same.
2. PVC yoga mat: pvc yoga mat is an average material, so it can be made double-sided, assuming that there are evenly spread anti-skid dots on both sides, and the texture on both sides is the same. Then this kind of mat is a double-sided yoga mat, so both sides can be used with confidence. If there is a pattern on one side and an anti-skid point on the other side (or a lubricating side while an anti-skid point), then the non-slip point is the front side.
3. Linen yoga mat: This kind of yoga mat is usually double-sided, linen and other materials (PVC, TPE, natural rubber) can be used together, usually double-sided yoga mats, and the double-sided functions and effects are different .
