Why Do People Think Yoga Mats Are a Good Idea?

There are predominantly two kinds of people who do Yoga.

1.  Those who seek yoga only for daily exercise.
2. Those who wish to pursue this exercise art form to understand the true essence of it and how it ties into human life.

For both these two kinds of people, there is another common ground – The Yoga Mat.

 

A good, sturdy and clean yoga mat can make the whole yoga routine easier and more satisfying. Some people may find it as an unnecessary add on. However, the mat was initially made to be a metaphor for the confined space of relaxed thoughts to flow while in the midst of yoga asanas.

 

To better understand this, take this pandemic for example. Numerous stories are floating about the internet about how people have been turning an entire space or room for their work from home jobs, or for online classes. In actuality, all you really need is a laptop and a bit of focus to do that job, but to have that dedicated space for only one objective can provide peace of mind.

 

This is how the yoga mat is seen to be a metaphor.

 

One of the best gifts, yoga has given is that any place can become a point to pause and reflect, a healing ground in the chaotic world and a place to make sense of where we are, who we are & where we have been.

 

As soon as one lays down their yoga mat, the area suddenly has a new element and a new meaning for that person.

 

Yoga mats (also known as sticky mats) do more than just provide a sticky surface, cushioning and traction as you pose or practice different asanas. The mat defines your space. We personalize our mats to more accurately reflect who we are as people who love doing yoga or practitioners.

 

Crowded yoga workshops and classes in a studio offer a wide glimpse into the world of private yoga space. Watching people tip-toeing through rows of mats, bobbing and weaving through bolsters and water bottles on their way to the washroom, is a sight that would want you to buy your own equipment. Your commitment to practice yoga doesn't need to influence your decision, but your feelings about other people's sweat and bodily fluids should. The reason being, shared yoga mats can harbour bacteria, including staph and fungus.

 

The other perspective that you can look at would be the yoga mat serves as a fence; it separates one person's space from the others, it is seen as a private space; a modern-day version of the original tea party motto “Don’t tread on me.”

 

If freedom means awareness of options and the power to make your own decisions and if yoga is a technology of human freedom, it would be wrong to say that yoga mats aren't usable, furthermore one should stop using them. That would not be considered working in the favour of service of freedom.
