I was only just looking at my bunch of yoga mats the other day when cleaning the house and thinking what to do with them. I tend to stick to one mat until it wears out and then retire it with the others. Although, my Jade mat is not looking like it's retiring any time soon. Flip flops hey? :-) LOL at you and Bob, thanks for the tips. I was only just looking at my bunch of yoga mats the other day when cleaning the house and thinking what to do with them.

How could life get any better than yoga mat insoles? ;) I may have reached maximum creative capacity with that little nugget. I wish I was nearly that smart and creative.

I scoured the Internet for a lot of the ideas and then tweaked them so that they really made sense to me. I also tried to think up ideas during my morning runs the last couple of days. Of course I haven't used all the ideas since there are so many possible ways to re-purpose a yoga mat. This was a fun post to write, but it did take a good deal of time.

I've experimented with all sorts of practice times and have found that for me early morning works best for getting in a good home yoga practice. As for a link for link exchange, sounds great.

I was taking lessons and decided that one hour a week is probably not enough and that I should do it more often, like everyday. What is the best time to do your daily Yoga? I was thinking about first thing in the morning to get a good start on the day, maybe followed by a few quiet moments with a nice cup of tea. We sell Yoga products on our website www.frogkreek.com and would love to do a link exchange with you. Hope to hear from you soon. Russ HI,

Your comment went to spam for some reason. I'm still keeping my head down in Baghdad for a little longer. Things were crazy busy for a while. Still had time for yoga, just not much time for blogging. I am looking forward to playing some tennis when I get home. Loved your <a href="http://yogademystified.com/yoga-tennis/" rel="nofollow">yoga/tennis poem</a>. We may be cut out of the same mold. Thanks for dropping a note! Brian Bob,

To be quite honest, I really, really, really don't like practicing to DVDs, for all the same reasons you articulate in your <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lauren-cahn/yoga-from-annoyance-to-gr_b_340471.html" rel="nofollow">90 minutes flat</a> piece on Huffington Post. Too much quackery sometimes. I appreciate your straight-forward style. P.S. the link on your old blog to your new blog isn't correct. I think you left off a .com or something.
