Some practitioners of kundalini yoga use a sheepskin as a yoga mat, but an ordinary yoga mat is just as good for the purpose. A blanket is recommended for the long relaxation period to ensure that you stay warm, and this can be folded or rolled for use as a prop or bolster during the rest of the class, which is especially useful if you’re not used to sitting cross-legged and/or have limited flexibility in your hips – sitting on the folded blanket will take pressure off your hips and allow you to sit more comfortably.
