Yoga is always debated about its merits as a cardiovascular workout exercise. Some yoga instructors argue that they can get class heart rates up higher than if you ran a marathon. Studies over time come to a general consensus that the yoga and fitness has a positive impact on muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility. Cardiovascular exercise that involves the large muscle groups helps increase longevity by increasing the body demand for oxygen and making the heart and lungs work harder. Yoga postures definitely stretch the body and increase flexibility. The best idea would be to combine the aerobic exercises with yoga poses. Some doctors would argue that yoga falls into musculoskeletal and relaxation categories.

One important decision you will make as you begin yoga is choosing your yoga mat. The type of mat you use will depend on the type of yoga you practice, the level of cushioning you need for knees and spine and the length you need if you are tall. While it is true that yoga requires almost no tools, a comfortable mat is an essential part of making your practice successful.

A successful practice is one which:

Enables you to follow a range of yoga positions, meditation poses and relaxation poses

Makes your yoga session complete, comfortable and satisfying

Helps you realize the true physical and mental potential of each position

Mats should:

support any poses, whether physical (standing, sitting or reclining), meditation or relaxation without any feeling of discomfort

be large enough for varying range of postures and extensions with soft edges -at least a few inches longer than you are

have a sufficient grip to support achieving the optimum benefits of each yoga position

be soft enough to counter the hardness of the floor

be firm enough to provide the right balance to your postures

be sweat-absorbent

be machine washable

Questions the yoga practitioner might ask when choosing a mat:

Does the mat grip the floor without sliding?

Do the feet stay in position on the mat?

If the feet sweat, will they still grip the mat?

Is the mat made of a durable material?

Does the mat lay flat without curling?

Is the mat washable? How easy is it to clean?

Is the mat lightweight for carrying?

About sticky mats: A sticky mat is not yoga fly-paper – it is just a nice surface to provide traction for your feet and hands while insulating you from cold floors. You might be able to borrow a mat from your yoga studio, but eventually you will want to your own. Look for a mat that can be rolled for easy transportation, and that is at least a few inches longer than you are. Sticky mats come in either one-eighth-inch- or quarter-inch-thick sizes. Thicker mats offer more cushioning, but are slightly less stable when used in challenging poses. Mats can be layered for added cushioning.

Sticky mat maintenance: If you are sweating during your yoga routine, you may find that your mat is more slippery than sticky. Chalk can help make your mat less slippery, as can wiping it with a soft cloth or using a small amount of mild detergent. Give your mat time – it will lose the slipperiness on its own.

About bolsters, blankets and zafus: They are not just a soft place to sit or lie! These soft blocks provide soft support while sitting for long periods of time. They are also great any time more support is needed, as when sitting or lying in a resting pose. Blankets give similar support when folded, and provide warmth in the final resting pose.
