My studio is hardwood (old dance studio) and my friend that I referred this yoga to tried a different studio while she was away and that studio was carpeted. I’ve only read about it, but never actually thought that carpet was used considering all the sweat that happens and it would be less maintenance and troublesome to have hardwood floors. As for the cushion factor, there are thicker yoga mats and for the floor series, many students at my studio use the super-thick mats or something to place underneath their yoga mat. I’ve never heard of foot discomfort, but people (esp. newbies) do complain about back/shoulder discomfort during the savasnas.

Are many studios carpeted? I’m completely baffled that someone would want to have sweat merely getting near the stuff (even if there was a towel on top) just because of the smell.

As for diet purposes, although vegetarians might have a more tolerable smell, they still consume garlic and beer/other forms of alcohol.
