I have been teaching Yoga for 7 years and am currently changing my location to another studio. Do you feel that Yoga can be practiced on all types of flooring?I prefer the hard floor but the new location has a matted floor which makes it difficult to balance but it is better on the knees!Does a softer floor pose any type of injury threat to our students??

Hi Lisa,
Yoga can indeed be practiced on most flooring. I'm not aware of any issues with padded floors increasing injuries, but you may want to check in with the Kripalu Yoga center as the majority of their yoga rooms have carpeted floors. I'm also not clear on what type of flooring you are referring to as "matted". Is this carpet or some type of other flooring?
Namaste,
Timothy
