Don't Forget The Yoga Exercise Mat

Before you get started there is one very important yoga supply that you need to get your hands on- an exercise mat. Exercise mats can be found everywhere now, even at your local K-Mart. They can be very inexpensive so there is no reason not to have an extra one. I keep one in my house for home exercise and one in my car for when I go to the gym. Having more than one exercise mat just makes it easier on me because I won’t be able to forget to bring one with me or take it back inside the house.

Having your own exercise mat is crucial. If you go to a yoga class without one you will quickly find that you are the only person without one. As I said, you can find very affordable ones all over the place now so you will never have to be without one.

I suppose that I ought to say that you really do need to use yoga sticky mats while doing the yoga or other exercises. An exercise mat clings to the floor and makes it easier for you to hold those crazy yoga positions without shifting or sliding around. I have, on more than one occasion, had to learn this lesson the hard way and I do not recommend it.
