Yoga Mats: Are They Really Necessary?

Hi friends,

The following is not an original researched thought by myself. Rather, this piece comes from Colin Hall, a guest writer for Yoga Journal. The entire piece struck a positive note with me for it is very common for my practice to not include a mat and to practice on the earth or living room carpet.

Have you even practiced on a surface that is that has less ‘grip’ than your designated yoga mat? You find yourself slipping and having to engage part of your body to align properly in the pose. This technique brings greater awareness into the postures and body.

Read what Colin Hall has the say in his discussion with respected yoga teacher Angela Farmer.
