![]() Jacquelyn D. Kirkland enjoys being healthy and active. Particularly fond of jogging, Jacquelyn D. Kirkland also practices yoga. Individuals trying yoga for the first time or novice practitioners planning to take their workouts to the next level should consider investing in a personal yoga mat. Mats come in different styles and sizes, and can be made up of fabrics as diverse as natural rubber and hemp. Individuals should be thorough when testing a mat's comfort and stability. Rubber mats are viewed as the standard, as they provide ample cushioning and can absorb the moisture generated by a strenuous yoga session. Hemp and cotton mats represent an all-natural alternative to rubber and plastic mats. Cotton mats are not as durable, though they provide a soft base and are excellent in terms of moisture absorption. Hemp mats are much stronger and are also slip-resistant. When it comes to selecting a specific yoga mat, individuals have a myriad of options. In 2017, one of the most popular yoga mats was the Jade Harmony professional yoga mat, measuring 74” or in 72” in length with a 3/16” cushion. The best-reviewed mat of the year, Jade Harmony’s mat offers both stability and durability, which is ideal for overall joint health. Furthermore, the mat is made of sustainable and recycled materials. The Manduka Mat Pro, which serves as both a yoga and Pilates mat, was another favorite among practitioners in 2017. The mat can be purchased in lengths up to 84” and offers yogis a comfortable experience. Other popular mats were made by Sivan, HemingWeigh, and Aurorae. ![]() Jacquelyn D Kirkland has many different hobbies that she pursues in her spare time. One of the activities that Jacquelyn D Kirkland engages in is jogging. Jogging provides many benefits beyond common weight loss. Jogging has been proven to prevent heart disease, as well as various types of cancer. When certain cells do not get the proper amount of oxygen they need, they begin to mutate, and form cancerous cells. When an individual jogs, they are providing their body with more oxygen. In a similar manner, heart disease is kept away because the blood pressure is kept in check. The benefits are not solely related to deadly diseases. Jogging can improve the mind as well, by lowering stress levels through endorphins. This can improve their mood, combatting depression and even turning back the clock when it comes to aging. Those who make the time to practice running when they are going through a difficult situation have also found that it allows them to feel calmer, clear their head and think, and even find enjoyment in the sport. |
