If every time you place your hands or feet on a yoga mat, and you're not gripping that sucker like your life depended on it, you are doing your yoga practice a huge dis-service.
All the arm balancing gurus say the same thing, "Claw into your mat".
It's for balance and control.
Death grip = controlled poses.
Weak grip = weak pose.
Same for standing balances, get a vice like grip with your feet on the mat. How so? Pretend your foot is your hand. Dig those toes in.
When you do, you'll feel stronger in the pose and balance for longer.
You'll have solid standing balance transitions.
Pada or hasta...never just stand on a yoga mat.
