Subject: Before mats


How did they used to do yoga before mats came along? Straw mats? Something else? Just curious if anyone knows.

1. Real Earth (Non Concrete)

2. Real Earth with thatched portion that is mixed with dropping from trees.

3. Mats made from the leaves of certain trees such as Coconut

4. Later Cotton Rugs to avoid abraison with concrete.

5. Also, wooded floor.

My belief is that too much of usage of shoes makes the feet more sleepery and less accustomed to gripping the floor.

But, none of the above work as good as currenly available sticky mats as far as the sticking is concerned.
