Foundations

Yoga Mat

Your little island of calm.

What it's for: A non-slip surface that marks out your practice space and cushions hands, knees and feet.

Try it gently

  1. Unroll it on a flat floor, smooth side up.
  2. Align it so you can step long in every direction.
  3. Roll it back up loosely when you are done.

No yoga mat? A clean non-slip floor or a firm rug works for slow, low-movement practice.
