Yogi Toes
I almost forgot to include a little blurb about my new "yoga towel." I tried the Luminaire and didn't like it. I'm sure it works well for people who sweat but (well, except last night where I might as well have gotten out of the shower halfway through), I don't sweat a whole heck of a lot (interestingly enough, I've noticed that the further I get in the practice, the more I sweat... maybe becoming more healthy? I know my dosha type indicates I'm not much of a sweater naturally though). Going to AYC more and other studios with heat, I've noticed that by backbends, I need something under me or I'm slipping enough to make practice hard. I've tried rugs before but didn't like them much either... I bought a Yogi Toes towel yesterday and took it with me to try it out to 2nd series last night. Thought I was sweating enough to use it by Pasasana :) I was too afraid to roll it out and start slipping. It was clear to me, however, that by finishing, I would desperately need it. I rolled it out and nervously did a vinyasa... to my complete surprise and joy, the towel did not move. In fact, the nubs on the bottom, make it very very static. Overall I really liked the towel and will probably use it frequently even in cases of little sweat. I don't know if I'll ever use it nub side up but, in the case of sweat, it's perfect for me.
