How To Use Air Track Mat In The Pool For Yoga

As well as practising gymnastics, cheer-leading or parkour moves, our air tracks provide the stability you need to work out in the pool and on land. Unlike other floating gym mats, they are not singularly useful and can be used for yoga, Pilates, balance and core strength training, mediation and even recovery training.

Yoga

Yoga in the pool is a low-impact exercise, which makes it ideal for people with joint pain or injuries to improve their strength, flexibility and range of motion.
Yoga poses such as plank, downward dog, chaturanga and cobra are perfect on the air track mat. By using them in the water, you can add a little variety to your regular yoga practice.

How to do plank exercises
Start in Downward Facing Dog (see Downward Facing Dog below), then inhale and move your torso forward until your arms are level with the floor. Your arms need to be shoulder width apart and your fingers should be firmly placed on the mat. Lift the base of your head away from your neck and look straight at the floor. Your back needs to be in line with your body. Use a mirror or ask for help to see if your body is correctly aligned from head to toe. For an in-depth method on how to do crunches, see Crunch position.

How to do a downward dog pose
From plank position move your body backwards onto your legs, this will bring your lower back and hips up. Rotate your thighs inwards, keeping your tail high and sink your heels to the floor This will straighten your arms out next to your ears. Look down, take a deep breath and sit into the extension of your calves.

How to do chaturanga or low plank
From the plank you will slowly lower your arms down into a push-up position. The difference is that you will keep your elbows bent backwards rather than outwards for the push-up. Notice that your shoulders are already in front of your wrists and your forearms should be naturally perpendicular to the floor. Ideally, the upper arm in this position is parallel to the floor. Do not go lower than this.
