floor

[Guest guest]

Hello,<br><br>I have just moved into a new apt.

and unfortunately it is carpeted. My previous apt.

had wood floors which were ideal for my ashtanga

practice. With the carpet I have problems balancing, etc.

If anyone has any solutions for this problem I would

be greatly appreciative.<br><br>Thanks

Hi there--<br><br>I faced some similar problems

in my new house. The entire house is carpeted except

for the kitchen and a small foyer. So I restrict my

practice to the foyer and hope that my housemate won't

open the door and knock me over.<br><br>Perhaps you

could go to the kitchen or bathroom for your standing

balance postures.<br><br>The other possiblity is that you

continue your practice on the carpet. It is more

difficult, but it will result in your having stronger ankles

and a greater sense of balance in the long run.

<br><br>Hope this helps,<br>Ami
