Great points, John! I wouldn't have even considered the impact of a larger mat on the class community. Thank you for bringing up this point.
As Jen M says, bigger people should also feel comfortable taking up more space without judgement, and smaller people can make sure bigger people have the space they need by using only the resources they need for their practice.
I like the comparison you made to cars, John. I found myself thinking of European countries, where cars tend to be smaller, making room for more cars on the road and less congestion, much in the same way as yoga classes where people use smaller mats.

Thanks for sharing this article. I believe we should only take up the space that we need. Those of us with smaller bodies can use smaller mats. However, those of us with larger bodies should feel no shame in taking up the space that is needed – no more, no less. And, in spite of the mat size, we should feel free to scoot our mats closer to one another and share a smile if we accidentally bump our neighbor. That is part of community too.
