  Um, dah...

  With these posts, I am wondering what the function of the vinyl/sticky mat is...Wai Lana,  (TV  yoga show) uses a neat Hawaii-type quilt. I use a nice older-than-dirt woven blanket. Why not use thick cotton, like those neat soft, smooth but durable, foldable woven "native-American"-kind blankets/rugs?. I have a back-of-the-head query lurking -- what is the stickiness supposed to help? Seems that  to control/gauge our stretch and our balance, that out-reached foot or hand,.... we only should have a "natural"  dimension to our work/relaxation.... but maybe I'm missing something. Never did like those 'creepy' feeling mats, and now I'm learning why.  One thing I wish I could solve is the barefootedness -- I love going barefoot, but winter in Wisconsin, w/ keeping the temp lower at nite, begs for socks-warmed toes when we pop out of bed -- since I like to do yoga in early a.m., I start out with socks, but have to shed them to get the grip and grasp. Maybe I'll try cutting out sections ha. Bikini socks. Ah, spring is here:  who cares? On Umbra on toxic yoga mats posted 1 year, 8 months ago 19 Responses
