“If you fall, I will catch you.”
-Mat
Maybe mats are a weird thing to be sentimental about but these mats have done a lot of catching in the last 2.5 years. They’ve seen sweat and even a few tears. They’ve seen people grow and progress on their good days and their bad days. They’ve offered support during times of intense effort and times of quiet surrender. They’ve spent countless hours in floor classes, chair classes, hot classes, classes in the park, at the hospital, at Dometic, with brand new students, with experienced students, and even with kittens. They’ve been under the feet of people ranging from 5 yrs old to 80 yrs old.
These were the first props I could wrangle up when this whole thing started.
Rolling out the mat feels like a conscious signal that it’s time to pause and be present. They offer a strong sense of groundedness and stability during practice, then they’re such a great source of comfort and relief when it’s time to finally rest in Savasana.
A big heartfelt thank you to this old mix-matched set for all its reliability and support.
A few still have a little life left and they’re free to a good home. If anyone is in need of a well-loved mat, strap, or 2 inch set of blocks just shoot me a message or let me know in class!
