Bikram Mats

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have experience using bikram mats for ashtanga

practice? I'm trying to find a light and reasonably priced option

for a new mat that I can bring to Africa that will be both durable

and will be slip-proof if very sweaty. My weight limits are pretty

strict and it would be cumbersome to bring both a mysore rug and a

mat.

The Bikram mat works well, but it must be placed on a carpeted

surface. It will slip around a hard floor.

Hi,

In order to go backpacking through Australia and New Zealand I bought

an ultra light travel mat at www.yogamatters.co.uk ... it's very thin

(almost like a sheet) but durable and doesn't slip on smooth

surfaces. However, since I always have incredibly sweaty hands and

feet, I do use a towel with it to practice ashtanga.

good luck,

Carmen
