On the other hand, my heart rate never really got high enough to provide a cardio benefit. Coupled with the cool temperature, I never got warm enough to move freely and sink deeply into the poses. Holding a lunge for a long time is not easy, but I am not sure it was beneficial to my goals.
It was fun to try something new. Now if I could install mirrors at the local yoga studio...
I did get to see the Manduka yoga mat in person. I want one.
