Guest guest Posted July 21, 2000 Report Share Posted July 21, 2000 Hi all, I'm a relative newbie to yoga and really enjoy reading the posts. Right now I am working with ashtanga (sp?) yoga, but am interested in kundalini sometime. Do you need to have a "basic" yoga foundation before you practise kundalini, or can you enter into it "directly"? Anyway, I recently bought myself a yoga mat to practice on. It is just a basic "sticky" mat. While I like having the mat to practice on (just rolling it out helps get me into a yoga frame of mind), I have found that it seems almost too sticky. When I am turning my feet in or out the mat sticks and twists, and when I am moving my feet to a different position underneath me the mat sticks and lifts. Any suggestions? Does this usually get better with use, am I doing something wrong? Thanks! Tammy Schilling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can go into it directly. And anyother practice of the postures is useful too. basic "sticky" mat.

Sticky mats are very useful for postures that you might slide around on, but not necessary or even useful for postures that you need a foundation that permits movement. Use it for the dogward dog and such poses and don't use it for the other poses. Also it is not very good for meditation since it is a synthetic material. Best to be on a natural fabric for meditation.
