Yoga-Mad Tree Mat £27.99 from Yoga-Mad website Tree Mats - pleasant by name, pleasant for nature! Tree Mats are biodegradable, made from dry natural rubber from a sustainable and renewable source. Tree Mats are reversible (you can chose a side depending on your mood!), durable and roll-up tightly, but are slightly heavier than other mats I have used. They claim to be totally non-slip but once hot, my hands do slip slightly in down-ward dog and back-bends, this may pass with time. They are a pleasing texture, not harsh at all. They stay totally positioned throughout a full practice (not sliding with dynamic moves). There is no sign of wear and tear after 2 months of constant use; I personally now would not use any other mat - Tree Mats Rule! One warning... If you have a rubber or latex allergy do not use. Review by Alex Parr Tree Mat - Yoga Mad I have to admit I really didn't get on with this mat at first. I found myself slipping and sliding all over the place. It also made my hands and feet really sweaty...eek! But, after about three months of hard core 'sticking with it' I'm totally in love my beautiful aubergine coloured, now slightly manky mat! In fact the slippyness encouraged me to focus on my core stability. It's also helped a lot with the splits. With other mats I've tried they can be too tacky, this one allows you to spread your legs with ease! So, my advice is.... if you decide to go for this mat it may take some time to get used to it, but when you get past the fear of splitting yourself down the middle as your legs slide all over the place, it's well worth it. I give it a 2 out of 5 for the first 3 months.... 5 out of 5 now. Review by Sally ______________________________________________________________ This is the first mat I have brought in about 3 years. I have consistently practiced in a gym and have not needed at mat. I used to regard a mat not only as personal space but the ritual of rolling it out became a way of starting yoga! The first day I scuffed it. In doing the splits I scuffed the edge with my heel. Then I worked out it wasn't supposed to go bobble-side-up like most other mats! The feel is sensual almost like skin, it stays slightly warmer and smooth than the ambient temperature. Although it is initially slidey, over time it grips more. Narrower than gym mats I do find it helps my alignment more because the lines are closer to aim for. Eco friendly and nice textures not more than £30 around and get it from www.detoxyourworld.com/ _____________________________________________________________ |

Ruth White Yoga Mat. As a yoga beginner, I used a cheapo mat from Tesco's (£4). It was covered with helpful pictures of people doing yoga and the legend ³YOGA MAT² at the top - just in case you forgot why it was in your shopping basket next to your frozen peas. It was fine. It did the job.
Cork mat review At this years yoga show I decided to treat myself to a cork yoga mat. Although expensive (£70 and no yoga show discount! And they tried to sell me a special bag for it!) I think it is worth it! (so far!) Thicker than most mats so it is v comfy but also much lighter so easy to carry (although doesn’t roll up as tight so may need larger bag) it has lovely natural “feel” to it, warm and nurturing underfoot and I like that is made of a natural material. Grip wise it is actually better when you have worked up a little sweat. I find at the start of practice esp when conditions are cold my feet slip a little on downward dogs and the first couple of standing asanas but then is v good- better than my tree mat was (my hands slipped much worse on that). But although the grip is then v good the mat still allows a bit of “foot sliding” on those tricky jump throughs (for those of us whose bandhas just can’t quite get the tops of our feet clear of the mat!). I have yet to need to clean mine but the vendors told me just to wipe/wash the top surface and leave to dry- no need to hang a leaden and sopping wet mat over a door for 5 days! All in all I love using this mat but am hoping at that price that it will stand the test of time!

Hanes Muscle Shirt  Ideal for yoga practice, or just for underwear on cold days. These vests are made of soft ribbed fabric, and contoured to fit so no loose, baggy pieces to get in the way; it snugs really well to your body. I started to use them as underwear and only after my initial frustration with loose T-shirts did I tried them for yoga – they've worked great ever since. I have a few and they hardly give, even after two years of wear and tear. They usually comes in packs of two, available colours are Grey / black. As it’s an American brand, it is cheaper to buy it overseas but even with the postage and the slightly higher price they work out to be cheap in the UK – especially when you look at vests made especially for yoga. I haven’t found any store or online shop in the UK that sells this product; you might find some Hanes products on Kelkoo or other shopping sites but not this muscle shirt. The only UK shop I found carrying it was an E-bay shop called Elishan-international clothing (for£9.99 and £10.99 for 4 shirts plus £4 postage).
Letyourbodybreathe.com A new company set up for mainly hot yoga/Bikram has a small selection of mens shorts that are apparently very good. The maker of these is an Astanga yoga practitioner who wears his own gear. There are now 3 different types of shorts with all different colours too!   When I saw these on the plastic model I wasn't sure. When it comes down to shorts for men in Astanga practice it can get hairy, pun intended. Squirrels can drop out or maneuver into places you wish they couldn't never mind the risk of them being totally strangled. I opened the package and I thought straight away "These are too gay!" [! ed] and didn't want to try them for fear of a squirrel attack in public where Iwould be practicing, but then again, I thought "what the hell!" They are remarkably comfortable. Oddly enough, the draw string waist seems to be the worst place as far as squirrel fallout. It seems as though the string is just wrong. However, i found that no matter what position I got into, whether it was legs behind or bending backwards they worked. They were comfortable although they rolled up (as all these shorts do), but they were a welcome surprise - something so needed in the world of mens' shorts!    72K mens yoga clothes One of the best yoga clothes for men. Every piece is designed exclusively for men. I have bought from this company for a year and one pair of the maya shorts have been in the sauna and steam room after each practice and spun dry in a swimming costume machine and haven't ripped or lost shaped and still cling! I have also found that I don't have to wear underwear with these which is the best! There is no danger of your "Squirrels" falling out even with leg behind the head and other such positions, and I have gone from normal to 2 stone lighter and back up and not one peek! Along with high sided vests, longer shorts and tanks this is the best a man can get ha ha! The only draw back is that all these items are only available in the States. Now you can get them shipped in from another company that carries them! Drishti yoga!

The research on this new form of running, but if you don't the psyiological and anatomical benefits or just wearing them are pretty impressive, they seem to be riding the wave if information coming from Africa and South America in two separate pieces of research/information. The first is from vibram five fingers and how they have found the running who run every day over long distances in bare feet, and then a south american tribe who Christopher Mcdonall, a broken injured runner at the time, who found these people how they run in bare feet or thin sandals. The Washinton Post talks on Christopher McDougalls book Born to run Running, the Natural Way By Dan Zak
BORN TO RUN A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, And the Greatest Race The World Has Never Seen By Christopher McDougall Knopf. 287 pp. $24.95 In his first book, journalist and former war correspondent Christopher McDougall suggests -- or proves, depending on your degree of skepticism -- that running extremely long distances barefoot is the key to health, happiness and longevity. Brand-name footwear, with its gel-based cushioning and elaborate architecture of super-advanced support, is a common cause of athletic injury, he argues. And running steadily for hours at a time is not only therapeutic but also natural. Primitive humans did it constantly, catching and killing quarry simply by exhausting them in a marathon hunt. Reading all this is enough to make a modern American feel fat, stupid and lazy, especially given the hyper-toned, swift-footed focus of "Born to Run," an operatic ode to the joys of running. McDougall's subject is the Tarahumara, a tribe living frugally in the remote, foreboding Copper Canyons in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. The Tarahumara are legendary for their ability to run extreme distances in inhospitable conditions without breaking a sweat or getting injured. They are superathletes whose diet (pinole, chia seeds, grain alcohol) and racing method (upright posture, flicking heels, clear-headedness) would place them among elite runners of the developed world even though their society and technology are 500 years behind it. It's a fascinating subject, and the pages of "Born to Run" are packed with examples of McDougall's fascination. Running is his religion (he's a contributing editor at Men's Health magazine and has written for Runner's World), and he approaches the sport with the reverence and awe of a disciple encountering the face of his god. In this case, the god is the Tarahumara. The book flows not like a race but like a scramble through an obstacle course. McDougall wends his way through the history and physiology of running, occasionally digressing into mini-profiles of top-tier racers and doctors, spinning off into tangents about legendary races like the Leadville Trail 100 Ultramarathon, while always looping back to the main narrative. Back on course, he describes his pursuit of the bashful, elusive Tarahumara and their secret to success on foot; his befriending of an eccentric gringo who became part of the tribe and is the key to McDougall's communication with it; and the realization of the eccentric's dream to pit big-name, corporate-sponsored American marathoners against the near-primeval Indians in a super ultra-marathon in the Copper Canyons. A race to end all races, in other words. A sprint to the finish between old and new. The scenario is a writer's dream. McDougall found a large cast of crazy characters, an exotic setting for drama and discovery, and a tailor-made showdown with which to cap the book. By and large it's a thrilling read, even for someone who couldn't care less about proper stride and split times and energy gels. McDougall's prose, while at times straining to be gonzo and overly clever, is engaging and buddy-buddy, as if he's an enthusiastic friend tripping over himself to tell a great story. He writes, for example, of a fellow-runner who "sluiced sweat off his dripping chest and flung it past me, the shower of droplets sparkling in the blazing Mexican sun." A relentless and experienced reporter, McDougall dramatizes situations he did not directly witness, and he does so with an intimacy and an exactness that may irk discerning readers and journalistic purists. "Born to Run" uses every trick of creative nonfiction, a genre in which literary license is an indispensable part of truth-telling. McDougall has arranged and adrenalized his story for maximum narrative impact. Questions crop up about the timing of events and the science behind the drama, but it's best to keep pace with him and trust that -- separate from the narrative drama -- we're actually seeing a glimpse of running's past and how it may apply to the present and the future. McDougall makes himself a character in the book without distracting from the story. He's our hero, a runner stricken with injuries until he began investigating the Tarahumara, who led him to startling revelations about the way we run and the way they run. McDougall finds that running is a danger if done incorrectly and a salvation if done properly. The stories he tells of the Tarahumara and of the world's greatest mainstream runners all herald a return to the basics: running barefoot or with the cheapest, flattest sole possible; and running not for money or celebrity or victory but for camaraderie and the sheer joy of using our bodies for a basic, essential purpose. "Born to Run" is an examination of sport, an allegory of cross-cultural understanding and a catalogue of philosophies of living. At this point in history, life is not necessarily about the survival of the fittest, or even survival of the fastest. We're past survival now; there's no need to run down prey or outrun a predator. But that's no reason, McDougall says, to stay rooted to the couch.
