The Yoga Bridge Week 15, Authentic Mexican Serapes

I bought some yoga blankets this week. I decided that I wanted to have quality yoga props. My home yoga practice is an investment in myself. I ordered authentic Mexican blankets called Serape. The art of serape making goes back many centuries. The web page proclaimed that these blankets were manufactured by descendants of Mayan Indians of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. I hope that was true and that everyone can profit.

Here is my impression. These blankets are works of art, brilliant colors, and expertly woven. The cotton is soft. It is true that these serapes brighten the room and spirit. These serapes are different from the yoga blankets we use at the studio less soft and require different folding techniques.

The Yoga Bridge, Week 14, The Home Yoga Chair

After searching for a yoga chair and not finding what I wanted, or at the right price, I decided to make my own. Target, $10 folding chair, a steal; however, the back of the chair was welded on. I tried a saw, that didn’t work. I took pliers and used them like a can opener until the welded spots started breaking, then I could yank the back off. This method took a lot of brute force. Well la! A bruised finger, a small cut, a lot of shouting, sweat, thirty minutes, and I got my home yoga chair.
