At 'Back on the Mat', a fellow yoga practitioner decides to save money by buying the cheapest mat on earth, during the practice, Ernest and his cerulean mat starts to disintegrate. Later large holes start to appear, and the surround area looked like a sea of blue foam.  There it is, a hole on the magic carpet, where one escapes into a parallel universe.  When he stood in perfect namaskara b on the other side, he sees his exact reflection, but mirror image when he was in his downward dog.  how strange he says, that is interesting, where am I?

Space for some peace to observe
