The Brahmins would just do it outdoors, or wherever. Yoga mats are a recent western invention. In fact, actively seeking out discomfort took up a large part of the Brahminical ascetic practice, with which yoga was associated.
I am pretty old school, these days i put a bathroom mat in the middle of my sticky mat, its just so comfortable and soft, it actually transformed my practice, as i can do sliding stuff that the rubber mat would not allow, they are cheap and replacable..
i'v been takin yoga classes for some time now.. i droped four sizes off.. and i'm feelin great,, but i wish i could bee as flexible as you are,, any suggetions?
I have a powerful suggestion for you: just keep doing what you're doing, because it's obviously working. Add some flexibility poses in like standing forward bends, fan pose, pigeon, and backbends like wheel. You'll get there for sure!
I like my soft dimple covered yoga mat for good grip from USAPRO.

Thanks for posting this. I have a thicker sticky mat, and when I sweat it starts to itch against my skin. I definitely want to check this out.

Hi Sadie - how was yoga practiced by the ancients, before rubber? outdoors? Namaste.

Going outside and doing yoga on dirt is always an option but I prefer the yoga mat and yoga studios:)

Brilliant! Great for padding the knees and hips when they're down, too. I'll pass that on to my students!

Thanks:) It was harder than it looks. But containing one's power creates grace. That, and a good mat!
