Thinking Outside the Rectangle
The yoga mat has become as ubiquitous an accessory as the cell phone these days, even showing up in eco-friendly versions like the ones Mike showed us this spring.
But if you’re like me, you sometimes feel a bit confined on a small rectangle, practicing the movement art of liberation.
Luckily, we’ve noticed a budding trend in the realm of mass-mat making: circular yoga mats! The new generation of mats like the Fuller Movement mat allow for a more organic, natural flow of postures and a relieving sense of spaciousness – the very essence of what hatha yoga seeks to cultivate.
Lululemon also has a circular version, and we’re grateful that it’s made of a biodegradable material. The circular shape makes for a larger mat and a happier yogi!

This has been a long-standing pet peeve of mine! I can’t wait to try this mat out.

This is really cool! My favorite place to do yoga is in the grass, or on a blanket in the grass… so I always have plenty of space. But for a studio, a circular mat is great. Especially if you’re taking a class with Shiva Rea — she tends to move you around all over the place. Dynamic yoga!!
