Yoga originated in India. At the beginning, did ancient Indians also use yoga mats?
No ancient Indians can answer this question, and I don’t know if any modern people have conducted conclusive research.
It is said that the earliest Indians who practiced yoga did not use yoga mats. They communicated between body and mind, and between man and the universe in the simplest place. However, the practice of yoga by modern people is completely different from that of ancient Indians. Yoga mats have also become an indispensable aid.
Because yoga mats are made of special materials, different from ordinary mats or carpets, they can prevent slippage and prevent bumps on the spine, ankles, hip bones, knee joints and other parts. There is also a more mysterious statement: the yoga mat can insulate and prevent the energy accumulated in the body from being carried away by the earth during practice.
