Dog may be man’s best friend, but when it comes to yoga, nothing can beat a durable, cushy mat. It provides comfort, guidance and structure, so you are free to focus on increasing your levels of flexibility, strength and energy. The yoga mat is to the dedicated practitioner what the glove is to the baseball player, the rod is to the fisherman, and the racket is to the tennis pro.
For something as important as your mat, why leave it looking so generic and plain? It seems like everyone practices with a solid purple or blue mat. Having a customized yoga mat such as this flame-printed one sets up apart and makes your workout extra special. It quietly displays your sense of humor and helps you stand out, keeping your independent streak alive, while you participate in group yoga sessions. It also shows others a bit of your personality. Such a mat could serve as an ice breaker, an easygoing way to establish lifelong friendships and connections in class.
Of course, owning a customized yoga mat means you won’t be mistaking your mat for another person’s, and vice versa. A mat is a personal, treasured belonging to devoted yogis. You should select one that best suits your needs and body. Sharing is typically a good trait in life, but not when germs are concerned. Should you accidentally grab someone else’s stinky mat, you may find yourself victim to athlete’s foot, warts and other infections. It’s a wise idea to use only your mat and clean it regularly.
The Inferno mat is a fun choice for hot yoga, but just as suited for use in other types of classes. This latex-free mat is six feet long and two feet wide. At a quarter-inch thicker, it’s also cushier than the usual mat. Whatever your personality, the mat is guaranteed to be a conversation starter in your next yoga class. |
