Your question is very timely--- We'll be posting tips on using yoga blankets later this week. Meanwhile, here's a "down and dirty" answer: A yoga blanket provides extra comfort when a mat isn't enough to cushion your knees, for example "Camel's Pose", "Hero Pose", "Child's Pose" and many more. It can also act as a bolster--- simply fold it up a few more times. Yoga blankets are probably the most versatile yoga prop. But I definitely wouldn't use one in place of a yoga mat--- that's a non-negotiable. :) Update: On Oct. 4th, we published <a href="http://www.theyogadojo.com/2009/10/yoga-props-yogablankets/" rel="nofollow">this post</a> on using yoga blankets.

Glad you like our new look. Yes, you should definitely use a yoga mat underneath a balance ball to help keep you from slipping and falling off the ball. Your suggestion for a "balance ball picture guide" is a good one--- we're putting it on our "to-do" list (which is now 10 miles long :) Suggestions are greatly appreciated so please keep them coming.
