Why a yoga mat?

While yoga mats have a practical use of preventing hands and feet from slipping during asana practice, I find the yoga mat also has symbolic significance, on and off the mat.

Our yoga mat is not only symbolic of our own individual and personal space during our practice - it is also symbolic of our own, unique, personal practice and our unique lives, with its own uniqueness.

Our yoga mat can also represent our unique path in life, on which we get to know our own nuances. 

On and off the mat, we get to:
  1. Know ourselves up close and personal.
  2. "Stay in our own lane" / "mind our own business" and not worry about what the person next to us is doing; in other words, be true to ourselves.
  3. Learn to be compassionate with ourselves, and thus with others.
  4. Care for our own mat, like we care for our own lives off the mat. 
  5. Know our mat's grooves, scratches, marks, slippery areas, etc., while we deepen our self-knowledge, self-awareness and self-love, on our own "path" in life.

Through deepening our practice on the mat, we get to deepen our "practice" / our lives off the mat, to lead a more profound and fulfilling life of knowledge.
