 | I've explored a lot of different ways to learn yoga over the years: classes, videos, podcasts, books. And here's a new one: instructional yoga mats. I took a look at three mats that provide alignment guidelines to see if they might enhance your practice. |

Can Your Learn Yoga From Your Mat?
Although they are superficially similar, in that they all rely on markings on the surface on the mat, each of the three mats I looked at has a slightly different approach and thus will appeal to different types of yoga students.

I compared ten attributes (durability, traction, cost, weight, etc.) of five different mats: the Jade Harmony, the Manduka Black Mat PRO, Lululemon's The Mat, the Kulae tpECOmat, and Gaiam's Yoga Essentials Mat. Now it's easy to see which mat is best for travel, which is best for tall people, and which will last the longest.

| Pose of the Week: Eagle Pose - Garudasana
 Remember those PSAs showing your brain on drugs as two eggs in a frying pan? I often think of eagle pose as illustrating your body on stress. Everything is twisted up and about to topple over at any moment. But if you can breath through it and get your balance, you can gain control over the situation. And when you come out of the pose, you feel a great release.
