Sometimes a practicing yogi needs to do a few yoga poses in the most unlikely of places; at a bus stop, on the train, even in their own cubicle at work. I know I happen to have a lot of those random “I have to do the crow’s pose right now” moments. In fact, it happens quite often especially in my cubicle. Since I don’t usually carry my yoga mat everywhere with me, I decided to invest in a simple cotton rug for my work station.
I knew that when I was looking for an area rug it’d have to be a bit smaller in size since I have a lot of stuff going on in here: my rolling office chair, a guest chair, my computer tower, the works. Fortunately I found one suitable enough, made from cotton and dyed a lovely serene turquoise color. Thankfully there were no fringes on the edges sine we have a little dog running around the office. The last thing I need is for the dog to choke on loose pieces of thread from my rug!
Now that I have this rug in my cube, I have the freedom to work on a few warrior poses. Not to mention that the turquoise color brings a happy little ambience in my cube. My coworkers have even taken notice and mention that with the addition of the rug my cube looks a lot more inviting, prompting many visitors throughout the day.
Commonly enough, rugs are used during different yoga practices. Sometimes it’s even recommended to bring one to practice to double as a blanket or cushioning pad for any poses that may require you to be on your knees, such as camel or table. Next time you have a yoga class, go out and pick up a cotton yoga rug about 28 inches in width and 70 inches in length beforehand. Place it on top of your sticky yoga mat for extra cushioning, traction, and to absorb and sweat or moisture, making it ideal for Bikram or hot yoga. And don’t forget to choose a color or pattern that will bring you to a peaceful place during your yoga practice, whether it’s in a studio, bus stop or cubicle. Trust me, it’ll make a difference.
