Two Sides to All Yoga Mats; Know Which Side is Up

Yoga mats come in three basic thicknesses. At 1/8" this mat is of average thickness. At 24" x 68" it is also the standard width and length. Mats that are about half a thick as this one are good for travel or placing under a thicker mat to provide more traction. The thick mats (3/16") are about 50% thicker than this one and are designed for those who need or want extra cushion.

There are two sides to this and nearly all yoga mats. Look carefully at the 'bumps' on each side of the mat. The larger bumps are designed to face upwards to cushion your hands, feet, and knees during poses while keeping your body from dangerously slipping out of alignment. The smaller bumps are designed to face downwards to grip the floor and keep the yoga mat from sliding. Many mats have a label on one end with the name of the brand. This is typically, but not always, located on the 'up' side. The bumps will tell you for sure.

This yoga mat will increase in softness and stickiness with use. (So do most mats.) They start out mildly sticky and increase in stickiness the more they are used. You will want to wash your mat when it first arrives so as to remove the thin film they get on their surface during the manufacturing process. Instructions for washing the mat are included. Once you've washed and dried your mat you're ready to begin! After using it for a while, if you find the mat decreasing in stickiness each time you pull it out, this is the typical sign that a light coating of dust or too much body sweat has accumulated on your mat and it needs a light hand washing with very diluted soap and water. After washing, roll your mat in a thick towel to squeeze out the excess water, otherwise it will take forever to dry in the air. Then, air dry your mat unrolled, inside, and away from sunlight. (Hanging over the shower bar works nicely.)

When you first unroll your mat you will find one end to be a bit curled. Simply alternate the direction you roll your mat (top outside once, then bottom outside next) or the end you start from (curled end once, flat end next time) and you'll find it straightening out more or less over time.

I recommend buying your own yoga mat even if your yoga studio or gym provides them for you. I've worked in many studios and gyms over the years. Sometimes management has mats cleaned often, sometimes not. If you bring your own mat you always know where it's been. :o) Plus, owning your own mat may encourage you to begin valuable practice at home.

For my students who have trouble with their knees in some of the poses requiring the body weight to rest on a knee, I recommend temporarily folding over one end of the mat to get double cushion under the knee while still leaving one layer under the rest of the body. This saves you having to haul more than one mat out each time you practice which can be discouraging especially to the beginner.

poor quality

I got this item to give a a gift. I got it fast, however opened the bag to find out the zipper was completely broken. It wasn't worth returning it because if you've opened it you can only get a 50% refund and have to pay shipping, which would have cost more than what I would have been refunded. Don't bother with this one.

Product Description

The Combi Timer is a combination Interval and Duration timer. For example, let's say you want to do a 30-minute yoga session and be reminded every 2 minutes to change poses. Set the timer to signal the beginning and end of the 30-minute session and then to ring a single gong every 2 minutes in between. Using the simple controls on the bottom of the timer, you would turn the dial to the 2 in the inner circle of numbers and press the ON/OFF button. Then you would turn the dial to 30 and press the ON/OFF button again. After 15 seconds, the timer will ring the gong 3 times, then ring a single gong every two minutes. At the end of 30 minutes, the timer will ring 3 gongs signalling the end of the session. Pressing the ON/OFF button in a double-click fashion will recall your previous program. The Gong is a digital recording, so there are no mechanical parts to break. The Combi Timer is about the size of a CD / DVD and can fit in the palm of your hand. This timer is perfect for Yoga, Meditation, Reiki, Massage, and Psychotherapy sessions.
