I think this has been the longest hiatus from my mat that I've had since I began this blog in the Winter of 2016.
No worries, however. I'll quickly regain what I lost.
I have purchased a new mat, and will be retiring the one I've had for over 20 years. This is a big deal to me, as I've considered my mat an almost sacred thing that I've developed a relationship with through the years.
It was time to replace it, however, and I've invested in a traditional cotton yoga mat; one that gets stickier and more stable the wetter it get with your sweat.
I'm going to warm up and go through my practice.

I'm writing this on my new mat, having just come out of Savasana.
This was my first practice on my new mat, and my first experience with a traditional cotton yoga mat. I have to say that I enjoyed it, and will have no problem acclimating to this new material's look and feel. It definitely stuck more whenever I got sweatier; this becomes essential when your palms are sweaty and you're going into challenging and strenuous poses that require a stable base, like upward bow.
Physically, I'm feeling strong, but I've definitely lost flexibility. No biggie.
My yoga goal for this week is to practice every morning.
Namaste
