Yoga Poses & Equipment - Ashtanga yoga mats
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Hi, my name is Ashley Ludman from Seaside Yoga, here to review Ashtangamats. This is
mat that I'm sitting on comparable to a Manduka Mat. It has good traction and durability.
It's about 3/16th of an inch thick, maybe a little thicker even, but it has good staying
power. It's not too sticky, so that when you are transitioning from pose to pose, you can
move efficiently. Also in Ashtanga, you may want to consider a cotton practice rug that
goes on top of the yoga mat which will help to absorb sweat if you are a vigorous practitioner,
you'll probably find that you're, that you're sweating quite often in your yoga practice.
So any type of sticky mat, top it's mat with an Ashtanga cotton practice rug on top. That
practice rug you can toss in the washing machine after every practice and dry it either on
the line outside or throw it in the dryer and they should stay pretty well. So those
are my recommendations for an Ashtanga mat. practitioner.
