Choosing a great yoga mat for your practice


Practicing yoga isn’t about simply achieving the flexibility and strength to master different poses, rather it’s a lifestyle that facilitates ongoing growth. We are always working to deepen our practice and make it richer for both our minds and bodies. The shift in energy that happens when one takes up yoga continues to build as our relationship with yoga also grows.

It’s important to have the right equipment for a few reasons. Yes, we want the right mat and blocks that will handle the ways we use them in class. More importantly, we want to ensure that what we use in class allows for a seamless connection between our bodies and minds. The spiritual component of yoga is absolutely essential, so ensuring that your equipment doesn’t interfere with that connection is key. Keep these factors in mind when searching for the best yoga mat for your practice:
  • Thickness

The depth of your mat determines how much cushion your body will have during practice. Not only does this support body weight, it also minimizes the impact on your joints and creates a buffer between hard surfaces that you may be set up on. Mats typically range from 1/16” to ¼”, with thinner mats more popular amongst those who like to connect with the ground and thicker for those who require more cushion.
  • Texture and Design

There are seemingly infinite design detail options when looking for a mat at any given retailer. While your choice is certainly up to personal preference, variations in texture can be very important to your experience in class. Imagine how the surface of each mat might feel at both the beginning and end of class — remember that people who slip because of sweat will want to look for a texture that helps address this.
  • Material

Lots of leading mats today are made of PVC, a vinyl material that tends to work well in your average class. There are many eco-friendly options out there if PVC isn’t the right fit for you, or if you prefer the feel of a more natural mat. If so, take a look at mats made of cotton, jute, recycled natural rubber, resin, or bamboo and hemp. These alternative materials usually perform just as well as others, but keep in mind that there may be unique care instructions.
  • Cell structure

A mat’s cell structure is a component of its absorbency. Closed cell mats don’t usually absorb moisture, which makes them easy to wipe clean. Open celled mats typically absorb moisture and are good for those who are taking hot yoga classes or who sweat a lot.
The team at Reviews.com recently released an article to help find a yoga mat, taking into account these factors.

This is the most anticipated online event of the year

The ALL NEW 6th Annual LIVE Brain-A-Thon this Saturday Only! 
Your Invitation: 6th Annual Brain-A-Thon 
When: Saturday, October 7, 2017 
12:00 p.m. Eastern | 9:00 a.m. Pacific 
Where: Your Desktop or Laptop Computer 
What: Retrain your brain to unlock its hidden power with over 100,000 people who are attending this live online event!
Why…
Well, did you ever wonder why some people are able to achieve an astronomical kind of success in life… while others work and struggle, but never even get close?
It comes from training, but not the kind you might think. Their success comes from them learning and training that unlocks their most powerful asset---their brains.
Imagine... if you had access to the greatest brain and success experts in the world. The same people who train astronauts at NASA to deal with the mental stress of space travel, the people who teach athletes to rise past self-doubt and mental blocks to become olympic champions...well you do.
Because on Saturday, October 7, 2017 we are bringing them to your doorstep; all you have to do is register and answer the door by showing up to this online event on your laptop or desktop computer.
The latest brain science research has shown that success, particularly financial success, is largely determined by what’s happening in your brain.
It has nothing to do with intelligence… or natural talent… or luck.
But it has everything to do with the habits, thought patterns and deeply ingrained beliefs you have.
You see, earning more money and accomplishing your goals is simply a byproduct that comes after you work on upgrading your brain’s “software.”
When you upgrade your brain… it becomes much easier to upgrade your income.
It’s tough to do this on your own, though especially if you don’t know how to access the implicit memory system and other key areas responsible for your-self worth and the fear center that stops you cold in your tracks when you set a goal that is bigger than what you’ve achieved in the past.
And that’s why my good friend John Assaraf decided to assemble 7 of the world’s top brain science and success experts to put together an incredible all new, LIVE event.
This free online training event will teach you more about building wealth in one day than you’ve learned your entire life and it has nothing to do with learning money making skills.
You’ll finally be able to erase all of the limiting beliefs, unwanted emotional patterns and bad disempowering habits from your brain that have held you back from earning what you deserve…
… and you’ll learn how to upgrade and install new empowering beliefs and better brain “software” that can help you achieve all of your personal and financial goals!
Tickets for this live event would normally cost upwards of $2,000… but since this is an online training event… you can sign up and watch for free.
This year, they have brought in a new lineup of experts who are going to be sharing the latest brain science discoveries and findings that can help you transform your life faster than ever before. This stuff is on the cutting edge of brain science and human performance… and it can help you make a radical transformation that propels you to your goals.
This event has the potential to change your life forever.
Over a million people have attended this transformative event in the past… and I think most of them would agree...
Spend one Saturday at the Brain-A-Thon… and you can end up living the life of your dreams.
See you there,
P.S.
For the past six years, this live event has been changing lives. And it only comes around once a year! Make sure you sign up right now.
