NamaSTAY Yoga Towel Review and Giveaway!
I know when I practice yoga, whether hot or otherwise, I’m usually a sweaty disaster. It’s a good disaster, but sweaty nonetheless. Since slip-and-slide yoga mat syndrome is totally uncool, over the years I’ve added a variety of yoga towels to my collection to help with soaking up sweat, providing a solid practice surface, and keeping the nasties from festering on the mat. Despite the functional necessity of a yoga towel during a sweaty practice, they also have a tendency to add another layer … [Read more...] about NamaSTAY Yoga Towel Review and Giveaway!
The Vernice Vita Yoga Mat is Absolutely Amazing!
After you’ve practiced yoga for a while it dawns on you that not all yoga mats are created equal. Most beginning yogis scoff at dropping a hundred-plus bucks on a yoga mat, but if you stick with the practice you’ll eventually begin to collect mats like they’re tupperware and you may end up with a closet dedicated just to all your yoga gear.

Lululemon’s Yoga for (SeaWheeze) Runners = Match Made in Heaven
I’ve long been a big believer that... yoga + running = a match made in heaven. This smooth 30 minute yoga practice, led by official lululemon SeaWheeze ambassador Kerri Kelly, is perfect for runners who need to get a little bendy after pounding the pavement. I won’t be able to run SeaWheeze this year, but I was really impressed by lulu’s new SeaWheeze half-marathon training app for iOS. The SeaWheeze app [Update: SeaWheeze app is no longer available; here is a link to the lululemon app] … [Read more...] about Lululemon’s Yoga for (SeaWheeze) Runners = Match Made in Heaven
DCOY Giveaway: The Yoga Mat Tie–A Simple, Yet Brilliant Solution to Sloppy Yoga Mats
The simplicity of yoga is one of its most beautiful and appealing aspects. Not a lot of equipment required, right?... Well, a yoga mat isn't necessarily even an absolute necessity, but I think most of us would admit yoga isn't nearly as pleasant without a little sticky mat under our feet and hands. Everything else is pretty much gravy in my book...and boy do I love gravy :) The picture above...definitely me. So yeah, despite having a ton of yoga gear, a constant pet-peeve of mine has … [Read more...] about DCOY Giveaway: The Yoga Mat Tie–A Simple, Yet Brilliant Solution to Sloppy Yoga Mats
