Having your own yoga mat

It’s important for hygiene reasons: if you practice yoga, you most likely sweat (a bit) and lose some skin cells caused by the friction on the mat. Moreover, every time you practice your yoga asanas you generate energy and this energy goes into the yoga mat. You want to keep this energy flow to yourself and not get someone else’s energy mixed with your own by using another person’s mat. My advice is to buy a yoga mat that you can take with you to your class, use at home and bring on trips as well. If you don’t yet have your own mat, you can bring a yoga towel to the class to cover a studio mat until you’ve gotten your own.

Nowadays it’s easy to find affordable good quality mats, a reliable online store is www.yogashop.be or buy one in Sampoorna Yoga Studio in the center of Brussels.
