Hi Carrie

 

The best way BY FAR is to use a sticky mat with a hand-made cotton woven rug

on top. The rug will stay put on top of the mat and you will stick to the

rug like glue. After you get a little hot and slightly sticky you will

stick to the rug even more!!! Also, provides extra comfort in headstand,

and having a more natural fabric under your hands and feet is wonderful

compared to characterless rubber. I used to slip around like mad before I

got a rug and it really interfered with my practice. Getting the rug has

allowed me to focus more on my breath rather than on my hands slip beneath

me in downdog!

 

Don¹t know where you are, but I¹m in the UK and managed to get hold of one

of John Scott¹s own special mats:

You should be able to mail-order a rug from most online yoga-shops.

I like the Manduka Purple Travel mat. It provides more

cushioning and traction. You can get it mail order

from their website:

 

www.manduka.com

 

Of course, if you generate a lot of sweat during your

practice, your other option is using a practice rug on

top of your existing Tapas mat.

 

hope that helps,

Bob

ashtanga yoga yoga mats...

 

I have a regular Tapas sticky mat and even when I use chalk I slide around on

it. There is another yoga studio in my area that has mats that look similar

to my mat, but it has a different texture to it than a sticky mat... I think

the other studio calls it a canvas mat. They dont have any for sale without

their logo on it, and the instructor said that now when she tries to order them

they send her the wrong ones (they send her the ones like I already have). Does

anyone know of any websites that have better mats, or of these canvas type

mats I'm talking about?

Namaste,

Carrie

my favorite yoga mat company is prana. Go to prana.com. Their sticky mats to

me are the best and no slip and perfect for astanga.
