Mat Talk

Mat Talk is where we publish our full guides: step-by-step routines, pose breakdowns, breathing practices and honest answers to the questions beginners ask before their first class, or instead of one.

Every article is written by Sophie Bennett, a disclosed editorial pen name used by our content team, and checked against the same short list. Is this right for a beginner? Is there a simpler option? What should make someone stop? If a guide can't answer those, it waits.

New articles appear here first, newest at the top, and each one belongs to one of our six sections. If you're after something specific, the section links are the quickest way in. Headlines from other yoga publishers sit further down, always labelled with their source, so you can see what the wider yoga world is reading too.
