The word yoga comes from Sanskrit, the language of ancient India. It means union, integration, or wholeness. It is an approach to health that promotes the harmonious collaboration of the human being's three components: body, mind, and spirit.

Our Mat
With dramatically increased vibrancy, superior grip in wet and dry conditions, but above all image resilience. The mat measures 73" x 24" (185cm x 61cm) with a thickness of 3/8" (5mm). The underside features an ultra slip-resistant tread. Our eco-friendly mat is made from sustainable Natural Rubber (including some recycled content) that can be disposed of without harm to the environment.
Care Guide
Your mat should be cleaned carefully by hand using warm water and a soft cloth. We encourage you to store your mat in the YM shoulder bag supplied, rolled image side out. This will ensure that the mat stays crease-free and the image integrity is not compromised. We do not recommend using cleaning solvents or machine washing your mat. The mat is designed for the practice of yoga, pilates, and similar low impact exercise. We do not recommend wearing shoes, as this type of abrasion will prematurely distress the image.

| Bikram Yoga cleanses the body and calms the mind |
|
| What is Bikram Yoga
Bikram Yoga is a complete system of wellness, restoration and rejuvenation. Bringing Bikram yoga into your life cleanses the body and calms the mind. The studio is HOT (over 100 degrees) to facilitate deeper stretching, prevent injury, relieve stress and tension and to detoxify the body. Bikram yoga was designed to systematically stimulate and restore health to every muscle, joint and organ of the body. Participants are guided through a series of 26 postures, each increasing in physical challenge. Participants of all ages notice an increase in energy, strength, balance, flexibility and mental focus. The body is flushed of toxins, leaving a deep sense of relaxation and well-being.

| Emily Darling:
Emily who has been teaching in Kansas City since 1993. She began her studies in the rich tradition of Iyengar Yoga. She has also studied Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and Restorative Yoga. Her desire to continually expand her yoga knowledge led to her most recent certification in the fall of 2005 at The International Sivananda Vedanta Ashram in Woodbourne, New York. She creates a style of her own incorporating a variety of aspects from her vast yoga background. Emily is nurturing and compassionate by nature, thus creating a class atmosphere that is non-competitive yet challenging. Her orchestration of rest and movement create inner peace and strength in the body and mind.

| Excert from Ashtanga Yoga: A Journey of Self Discovery
Ashtanga yoga can replace your current exercise routine, it can enhance your current fitness program(s) or sport of choice by increasing your performance and keeping you from getting injured. Ashtanga yoga is unique to other styles of yoga, because of the continual flow of movement (vinyasa) and it uses your body weight as resistance. You will become VERY strong throughout your entire being, using muscles you didn't even know you had.
