yoga mat prop basics

Whether you are a more experienced yoga teacher or a home-based practitioner, one of the most necessary accessories for your yoga practice is a yoga mat. This ancient tradition of breath, movement and meditation developed within the Hindu culture of the Indian subcontinent becomes the practitioner's sacred ritual.

It all depends on a few factors, with the most important one being experience. Perhaps you are uncomfortable, when you initially teach, and it changes your tone, or causes you to speak faster. Take an advanced level class, rent or buy an advanced course on video, or order a book online, to make sure your skills are top notch.

It ultimately begs the question does body and mind go hand and hand? Once you feel comfortable with your first style, combine it with something new. Often when someone is stressed, the muscles are as well.

You can be fully present with whatever you are doing instead of worrying about tomorrow or regretting yesterday. The advantage of a Yoga video is that you can do it at home on your own time.
