The directions north, east, south, and west should not be given capital letters unless they form part of a name like West Ham, West Sussex, and South Africa. When used in a name (e.g., North Pole), the word North, East, South, or West is part of a proper noun, and all proper nouns are written with capital letters.
Choose a yoga mat that fits your body and is right for your practice. Mats for the practice of yoga come in a variety of lengths, materials, thicknesses, colors and styles. While there is no set guideline by yoga gurus, the standard size for a mat is 24 inches wide and 68 inches long. However, practitioners should choose a yoga mat based on their preference and comfort level.
Yoga and Pilates sessions incorporate floor work that requires you to lie on your back or on your stomach. Your mat needs to be long enough to fit your entire body no matter which type of class you are taking. There are differences in mat lengths, but these differences are not specific to the type of class.
