I have 3 yoga mats, one purple Gaiam mat and two others that I don't even remember the brand or the last time I wiped them down...I guess you could say I'm not emotionally attached to my yoga mat and if I was caught somewhere without it, I'd happily modify my practice to whatever surface I was on. As for my mat as a magic carpet...I've never thought of it that way, but I've definitely had magic carpet moments on my yoga mat, usually during savasana or yoga nidra when I can really let go and fully relax into breathing and sensation.
Love this! Thanks for sharing. I’ll be honest I never clean my mats either and I have them as permanent rugs on my bedroom floor. It’s filthy! I actually don’t practice on a mat that often anymore (only when I’m teaching). But definitely nidra practices take me on a journey 🙂
