Some of the most difficult places to cover in terms of flooring are dance, yoga, and pilates studios. A yoga floor, for example, must hold up in terms of heavy traffic, moisture and extreme pressure from feet pressing down on it. This type of performance flooring needs to be top quality and comprised of a well thought out design that keeps in mind all of the abovementioned factors.
There are several yoga flooring and pilates flooring designs on the market today. However, few of them are one-of-a-kind designs that are slip-proof and made of superior materials that are suitable for any style of dance. Slip-resistant urethane is a highly popular choice for a pilates floor.
A yoga floor is not just limited to a dance studio. Good quality yoga flooring can be used for personal home dance studios, workout rooms, or any other room where performance flooring may be needed. Stages, ballroom dance floors, gymnasium floors, and aerobics studios are just some of the many ways to utilize this type of flooring.
Many yoga floor systems are portable and can be easily uninstalled and reinstalled if you ever move to a new location. This makes portable yoga and pilates floor a great option for leased dance studios or apartment workout rooms. Taking a yoga floor -to go- has never been easier thanks to the development of highly portable and easy to install floor pieces. This type of flooring is ultra-easy to just pack up and take to a new location. Also, with such easy installation, most people with basic carpentry skills can handle the job with no problems.
There isn’t much (if any) difference between pilates flooring as opposed to yoga flooring. Both types are designed to make movements easier and to ease joint pain that may be associated with dancing and being on one’s feet for hours. A special pilates floor is a great way to practice pilates or yoga in the most ergonomic manner possible.
If you are considering a new yoga floor for your studio or exercise room, consider the materials and technology that go into the flooring units. With floor that takes quite a beating over a long period of time, durability and comfort are huge factors when making this purchase. Find a good established yoga wood flooring company to help you make the best decision for this very important choice. Choose wisely.
