TapasŪ Sticky Mats
From the root word "tap" meaning to burn, the word "tapas" as
B.K.S. Iyengar states in the Concise Light on Yoga is " a
burning effort ...to achieve a definite goal in life" and "by
tapas the yogi develops strength in body, mind and character".
Thus, by bringing tapas to your yoga practice you shall reap
many rewards."
See below for nine
TapasŪ mat styles and fourteen colors to your
unique yoga mat needs. (For non-sticky yoga
