Your Questions About Yoga Mats

Nancy asks…

Where can i buy yoga supplies in the Quad Cities?

I need a new yoga mat- and I don’t know where to buy a yoga mat in the Quad City area.

Anyone have any ideas?
The 4 cities that are right next to each other in Iowa and Illinois(which explains it mostly)- there’s nothing between them except maybe a little road and water.If you lived in the area- i guess you would know that.lol

I knew that question would pop up….=]

Richard asks…

I need to buy a Yoga mat from Lululemon in Kingston, how much do they cost there? I trying to get the cheapest

I am begining Shivanada Yoga and I want to buy my own mat (for hygenic reasons). I looked on lululemon but there is now prices listed, I need some help.
i mean there is now prices listed not now. I want one perferably eco friendly
no prices on site i mean

In the store, most of their mats are 50-60+ dollars. You can get most of the same mats on amazon that you can get at lululemon. I would recommend doing that since you can usually get the mats a little bit cheaper. Hugger-mugger, dristi, and gaiam all sell mats for around 30 dollars on amazon.

Robert asks…

What is the best yoga mat available.?

I just started doing aerobics and a fitness/workout DVD and I’m finding it way too hard on my knees and elbows to do it on the carpet…not to mention slipping like crazy. I hear so many people complain about the mats they buy and I’m wondering what is a really good mat and where can I get it? Thanks

Sharon asks…

Should I purchase a purple or red yoga mat? What are the effects and benefits of each color?

Thank you.
Wow the manners of most people on the section is deplorable, it’s true religion is the worst thing that can happen to a person, what a pity…how hypocrites!

yogaandyoutoday.com answers:

The colour doesn’t really matter much. Purple is soothing, I suppose, but while you’re doing yoga, you don’t think about the colour of your mat. What matters is the quality of the mat– the durability, thickness, and stickiness. You don’t want a mat that leads to sliding during down dog. I personally have a Manduka Pro Lite and I would recommend getting one. It’s grey, but it’s the best out there, along with Jade mats, and it has a lifetime warranty. If you’re just beginning yoga, I wouldn’t recommend splurging on it, but later on, it’s a must. You go through mats in about half a year if you frequently use them and it’s just good to have lifetime warranty.

Steven asks…

How can I prevent my hands and feet from slipping and sliding on my Yoga Mat?

I already have a non-slip mat but it doesn’t seem to be working. Any ideas, tips, or tricks?

yogaandyoutoday.com answers:

I have practiced yoga for five years now and here is what I have learned about slippage. Engage all the muscles in your body when you are in each pose. Pull in to the core. I actually used to practice on a hard wood floor in socks in order to practice pulling in to the core. If every muscle is on alignment and engaged you will get stronger and more flexible faster than if you just go through the motions. For more info on muscle alignment, engagement and pulling to the core check out the anusara website listed below.
If you are a heavy sweater try putting a Mexican blanket or terry towel over your mat to help with absorption, but both of those will require you to be fully engaged because they will increase slippage.
