This is a fascinating article. It's hard to believe that women have been complaining about lack of pockets for over a hundred years. I wonder if we all just need to start voting with our wallets and make more of an effort to purchase clothing with sufficient pockets.
Some suggestions for anyone who's interested:
The search continues for good work pants with pockets.
Dude. Cork yoga mats.
My hands tend to get sweaty and slip on my mat regardless of whether I'm doing normal yoga or hot yoga. I bought a yoga towel for hot yoga, which helped my hands, but my feet don't get as sweaty and then they'd slip on the yoga towel. I did halfsies for a bit.
Then I got an Amazon gift card for doing a biometric screening at work and used it to buy this cork yoga mat on Amazon. And I. DO. NOT. SLIP. Even in a super-sweaty and demanding hot power vinyasa class.
Highly recommend if you're willing/able to swing the cost.

Getting speakers off the Wall so the ports can Breathe May help Some......4-6" from Wall or More.
Bringing them to Front of Table or small stands so Sound doesn't reflect off table may help.........
Cheap way would be yoga Blocks..........

https://www.amazon.com/Rockville-RHT8C-Computer-Bookshelf-Stands-Wood/dp/B07PV9WXSK
or angled riser pads to project Sound up.......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppbhxukCd-4&list=RDR8jYhRHRhq4&index=29
blocks, stands or riser pads but bring them off the wall 6"..............
Oversized Yoga Mat would likely be a good choice.
Could buy something like (: https://www.amazon.com/Yoga-Direct-6-Feet-Square-Olive/dp/B003JMI2F6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1466445662&sr=8-2&keywords=Oversized+Yoga+mat )
Then cut to fit your playspace + potentially buy double-sided tape to lock it down if your wanting it to not move at all, or some other lock down alternative. When your done playing, can even roll it up and toss it aside.
I use this one. It's held up very well for me, but I don't do regular practice on it. I use it for the purpose mentioned above and for doing static things like frog pose for 20/30 minutes at a time, practicing splits outside of classes, etc. It's the same consistency as cheap-ish beginner mats that wouldn't (for me) hold up well to more than ~10 sweaty/hard flow classes.
Make sure you anchor whatever you build firmly to the ground, ceiling, or wall, so you can always push yourself away from it if you need to get out. If you're stuck inside and it's not anchored, it'll be harder to wrench yourself free.
Don't use shampoo for lubricant, it will burn if you get it in your eyes, nose, mouth.
You might look into these yoga mats: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CTRKO6Q/ref=twister_B01CTQC9FQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 they're quite squishy, but have a smooth surface that's easy to clean. Make sure to do a spot test with whatever kind of lubricant you use, so you can see if there's a chemical reaction. You don't want it to break down. Anyway, you might be able to construct a sleeve of some sort with the yoga mats, then you just need something to apply inward force. Maybe slip it between a box spring and mattress to start with? Particularly if you have a memory foam mattress that is less structured. Again, make sure to anchor the bed to the wall somehow so you can get out. Consider installing a snorkel for air.
Be safe.

also, take your hat off when the cart is moving to get some airflow over your head. sounds simple, but really works

I feel like the salt and fluids thing is surprisingly hard. I got a water bottle last year that had times marked on it and you refilled it in the middle of the day. It helped me get to my goals of 2-3 liters a day. Here’s an example (not an endorsement): Drink Your Effing Water
I keep salt packets from fast food places in my purse and just take a lick every time I fill my water bottle. Those two actions (the water bottle and choosing when to salt) have helped me be consistent.
I know we’re supposed to use compression but it’s so hot in the summer. I have a sleeve that I can Velcro around my thigh (my injury site) so that helps but I can’t walk around with it on.
When I do overheat, I’ve found the only thing that helps when I’m out and about is a cooling towel like runners use. The one I got is similar to THIS I carry it in my purse or bag always. I have a little waterproof zippy pouch for it. That’s all the advice I have. Maybe others can chime in about what works for them.
I just found this Jade mat on Amazon for $34.95. Maybe that will help some?
I think it depends on the studio...mine has a mix of fitness model types that look like they could do a handstand on their pinkys, and those that modify at least one section or more. The instructors are so awesome about helping everyone target the right muscles without the wrong kind of pain.
Those donuts are taller than I was picturing. They are stable? It is very cool that your studio offers them.
This is the mat I use. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WD3HGJX/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_N8caCb8RJGCCF
Primarily at home. My first foray into at-home yoga was through the Yoga with Adriene youtube channel. She has years and years of free practices posted there. I currently pay for her membership site and have been using that at home. It has a lot of the youtube content but also has a lot of series and special practices reserved for members.
I suggest getting a Gaiam extra thick mat (usually $25-$30 on amazon) and then using a foam pad like this to provide extra protection to sore spots until you notice you don't need it.
I'm 5'2" and I really like these from Baleaf. I don't recommend the charcoal color because it is cottony and a completely different fabric from the solid colors, but I have them in black and they are great. Definitely squat proof. I haven't measured the rise but they come up pretty darn high. They are a hair long but it's not problematic for me, as someone who wears anywhere from 26-28" in jeans.
I also own 90 Degree by Reflex and while I like them for some purposes, they are certainly not squat proof in my experience (and it's not an issue of them being too small).
My girlfriend is 6'1" and wears and works out in in leggings she gets from Amazon called baleaf..
Here is the direct link from her Amazon account
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GFEKHSY?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_pd_title
They don't pill, are not see through and she has had this pair since 2017 and she wears em all the time.
Nice! Do you like it? I've been really interested in this one from Amazon but it doesn't have a ton of reviews https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6OCQR7/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=APGKW39CKGKFT
All great advice on what towels to get, etc ..
I wonder though if there may be something there in your breathing. Do you find yourself sometimes retaining the breath while in postures or moving through your Vinyasa? If so - notice when that's happening and regulate. You may be holding in too much heat by not regulating your breath. Just food for thought. :)
Also, this is the towel I use: Mettadali Yoga Towel - it's been 70% off for like two months now. Hehe
You might try something like this.
I'm a big fan of this brand, especially for the price. I prefer to run in lined running shorts, but their leggings are also fantastic. Reviews suggest that these are as nice as the leggings. The material is really nice and sturdy, and compresses some without feeling restrictive or being see-through.
I have some pairs of yoga shirts kind of like these that I've been wearing under shirts and dresses. Bonus because they have a pocket where I put my phone when my dress doesn't!

That brand also has some with a shorter inseam.
It’s not a major brand, but I have tried a few in the $50 range & I love this. Had it for a year, use daily for ashtanga practice, still perfect. Don’t slip at all, from day 1. https://www.amazon.com/IUGA-Unbeatable-Performance-Certified-Lightweight/dp/B079BK15PT/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=iuga&psc=1&qid=1572424304&sr=8-7
What a gorgeous little one! I get so broody when I see such adorable pictures haha! It’s okay that you’re working, I know the first birthday seems a big deal but there will be so many more to come and so many that she’ll actually remember! I’m sure you treat her like the little princess she is anyway so she knows with every fibre of her being that you love her to pieces!☺️💕
And I love noodles. But the item I’d love on my wishlist is this yoga mat or these yoga socks as I quit the gym a few months ago because I had no time for it but I’d love to get back into yoga in my free time - it’s so calming!💕
Play the basic starter game from the box a few times... If you and your friends dig it, then consider some accessories and extra ships. (Sticking to the accessories here, I'll let others give tips on the ships, since now just buy 2 of everything).
As far as mats go get an extra wide yoga mat. They might not look the best but they are the best I have used in keeping the ships in place.

I've always had this problem as well and it kept me from sitting more than 20 minutes. Eventually I got a foam block like this and I found a way to prop up my right leg (the problematic one) putting the block under the knee, so that the nerve doesn't get pinched.
Not sure if this is allowed in the goenka retreats or not.
Adding to this a pair of yoga straps like https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XYFTVDV/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 this is great. You can pretty much use them as TRX at a fraction of the space taken up in your bag. They're also good for stretching and I use them at the gym for weighted pullups and dips.
​
Additionally you can use them to strap things to your bags or compress your luggage.
This is the one we use. Cheap and comfortable.
Baleaf makes some good ones. I don't know if your phone will fit but at they have pockets.

I have an Iuga Pro mat from amazon. It has awesome grip and cushion. I don’t slide around at all during hot yoga. Only downside is it has a bit of a scent to it.

Yoga mats or puzzle mats are not as expensive as Judo mats, but might do the job, depending on their thickness and the floor underneath.
Example of a Yoga mat:

Puzzle mats:

/u/jakta, A stack of towels can work for what kirkirus is saying. You can also make or purchase a zafu which is a cushion filled with buckwheat, which is firm without being hard.
Sometimes I’ll take a travel mat with me, but even that takes up a lot of bag space. On my last trip I borrowed a mat from the studio that I really didn’t like, so on my next trip I may bring a yoga towel.
Get yoga blocks on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B019YJQRY0/
Get one pair of the 9x3 and one 9x4 and you can angle the speakers.

Something like this which you can cut to size.
Here is the mobile version of your link
This one.
This one has made it through a month so far..

But it won't last more than 3 by the looks of it..
Wet gloves and headband usually make the first half of the ride no big deal. Just got a cooling towel for around the neck, should make the rest a bit easier.
Has anyone tried a cooling towel or anything? I'm considering getting one to try it out http://amzn.to/2rvXe8Q
There are plenty of ways to take care of your staff without spending your way into their good graces. I would be honest, tell them that's too expensive, and ask them if they have any other ideas.
Devises that create turbine-like movement (ex. fans) and ones that create heat use more electricity than most other things.

Get 'em a bunch of these.
- One time cost
- No wear and tear on your equipment.
If it's just to do your workout on, you're probably better off getting a rubber mat from Walmart or a sporting goods store. Look for the kind that you put underneath a treadmill because they're at least 5x8. That'll catch a lot of your sweat and you won't be falling off it like if you were using a yoga mat. Plus they're really thin and can be rolled up and out of the way between workouts.
The main thing is not to get the foam mats or anti-fatigue mats at Home Depot. With all the explosive movements in Insanity, those options are an easy way to roll an ankle.

If you think you may want to use weights (barbell/dumbbells), you may want to opt for a stall mat, available almost anywhere livestock feed is sold. Don't want to damage the floors.
just bought as well from amazon and cut in half

my bad was the wrong link
I have been using the Hugger Mugger Zafu cushion since last summer and I absolutely love it. I too started with a folded up yoga mat, but my leg(s) would almost always fall asleep within the first fifteen minutes.
The Zafu cushion is so much more comfortable. The improved support makes it so much easier to keep my center of weight in line with my tailbone and keep from slouching forward over time. I place my Zafu on top of a yoga mat for the sake of my ankles on the hardwood floor, and I never have any physical discomfort anymore, at least with a 20-30 minute sit. It also has a small zipper hidden under the cloth handle which you can use to adjust the amount of hulls inside (I removed some from mine to lower the height slightly), or dump the hulls out so you can wash it.
In conclusion, I can't recommend it enough! The materials and construction are very durable. Take good care of it and I bet that it will last you a lifetime.

This is what I just got, before I had just folded up a pillow, after getting this though, I find I am much more excited about meditating. It is rather expensive, but in my opinion, was well worth it.
