Yoga mat and supply

Your yoga mat should be non slip and add perfect comfort when moving into the many positions of yoga.
 

A yoga mat is the most widely used yoga prop for increasing traction and safety and can immediately improve your practice allowing you to move fully into the pose without trying to prevent yourself from slipping.

How to care for your yoga mat

If your mats are lightly soiled, using a spray bottle or damp cloth, wet the soiled surface with water, then wipe it dry with a clean terry cloth towel. For heavier soiling, wash your Mat in a tub of cool water and mild detergent. Use only a small amount of soap because any residue may cause your mat to become slippery when it becomes wet with perspiration. Rub the mat with a soft cloth or let it soak. Rinse thoroughly. To quicken the mat's drying time, lay it on a dry towel and roll the mat and towel together like a sleeping bag. Step on the rolled up mat and towel to squeeze most of the water from your mat into the towel. Unroll your mat and hang it to air dry. With use and washing your mat should become softer and stickier.

A Yoga Story: German Scholar

A German scholar was preparing to leave for India to learn yoga. His colleagues asked him if he was going there to learn the yoga siddhis, or mystic powers. The scholar replied that he was not. He said that the yoga siddhis or mystic perfections were already being duplicated by modern science and he was therefore not interested in them.

He told them, "The mystic yogi struggles for decades to achieve the power to levitate or the power to stay underwater for long periods of time. But with the development of airplanes and submarines, modern scientists have achieved the same aim."

"Then what kind of yoga are you planning to learn?" they asked him.

"I am going to learn the process of yoga that leads to the perfection of spiritual love. That is the true and highest goal of yoga."
