Meet Your Mat: G2 Fitness Shows Us How It’s Done

Yoga isn't always what it's cracked up to be. For those of us who don't have the poses down pat, stepping into a yoga class surrounded by mirrors and incredibly agile women is about as scary as Heidi Montag's new hourglass figure. Sure yoga may tone your arms and tighten your abs, but you can't help but look all Mortal Kombat during Warrior Pose, and the only Downward Dog you're good at requires a few glasses of red wine and a third date.
You just need some instruction. Unfortunately, in a class of a few dozen people, you're often reluctant to get it.
G2 Yoga feels your pain. And they're eager to dry your sweet tears.
The G2 Yoga Pose Fitness Program gives you the chance to relax and energize your mind and body with the help of just a mat - All of the physician-certified yoga poses and stretches are conveniently illustrated for you as pretty little pictures. Available in pink or green for women, the 100-percent recyclable mat features a reversible, bacteria-resistant, thick cushion design and washable surface. And to really rub it in, each mat is latex and PVC-free, so your health is as much a priority as your workout.
The easy-to-use mats offer the one-on-one personalization you need to look "prepared" in yoga class, or better yet, practice solo in the privacy of your own home. (Each illustration is even accompanied by instruction on how long you should hold the pose)
Once you have the mat in hand, the G2 Yoga Web site offers an extensive library of yoga instructional videos to guide you in building flexibility, tone and balance without pulling a butt muscle again. That wasn't as fun as it looked, now, was it?
If the Cobra position isn't really your thing, G2 also carries specially designed mats for golf, maternity, pilates, stretching, back stretching, abdominals and core balls. (A children's mat is also in the pipeline.)
Stop freezing like a deer in headlights when the instructor asks you to go into Child's Pose (See Column One, Row Four) and start feeling like a true Yogi.
Life is so much better when you can fit your legs behind your head.
