The Yoga Zone by Cheryl Bruedigam - CYI-250

Let Your Mat Be the Judge

Sometimes in yoga practice there are days where it’s difficult to see any benefit. But at the end of any practice, the mat is one of the best judges of all. The way you roll up your mat will be a good indicator of how you are feeling after your yoga.

Did you hurriedly roll it up, were there uneven ends? This will likely indicate that you were unable to center during that day’s practice or perhaps that you are in a hurry, signaling the need to slow down, or are distracted and unable to focus.

A nicely rolled mat with even ends bespeaks focus, calmness, deliberate-ness and being centered, all which you should have gained in that day’s practice.

If after you roll up your mat, you notice that it was hurried and uneven, a good practice is to unroll it, start over, and perform one last asana, the roll of the mat. As a matter of fact, I always suggest to new students to spend at least part of the first session practicing with the mat, first things first, and to incorporate this "roll of the mat," into the end of each practice and it will always let you know how you did.
