What is happening on the matt when you step onto it? What are you actually trying to cultivate? Ask yourself if you have a healthy relationship with your yoga matt. There has to be a point when we are challenged as an individual to go beyond the physical. You have an average of 24,000 breaths a day. How may of those breaths are you aware of? First learn to breath and then learn asana. It is a natural progression. Sometimes mindfulness is the preliminary round to day dreaming.
