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!

Year of the Smoothie and a Blender Bottle Giveaway
There’s no better way to start off the day or finish a run or yoga session than with a deliciously yummy smoothie. Personally, this past year has, quite literally, been the year of the smoothie for me and my family. It’s a long story that I haven’t shared on Daily Cup of Yoga yet, but the short version is that last year we thought we were moving back to the U.S. from Japan for work, so we packed up all of our stuff, shipped it all away on a boat, and then ended up staying in Japan for another … [Read more...] about Year of the Smoothie and a Blender Bottle Giveaway

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
DCOY Giveaway: Core of the Yoga Sutras by B.K.S. Iyengar
After an illustrious lifetime of expounding yogic wisdom to the eager masses, it only seems fitting that B.K.S. Iyengar, the undisputed heavyweight champion of the modern-day yoga bible, turns his gaze toward yoga's foundational philosophical text, the Yoga Sutras. In Core of the Yoga Sutras, Mr. Iyengar provides unique commentary on Patanjali's 196 aphorisms that only someone with his experience and authority can bring to the work. B.K.S.

Yoga Book Giveaway: Two Signed Copies of Hell-Bent!
Like many yogis, I read/browse a crap-ton of yoga books every year because it's just one of those things I love to do. It makes me happy, inspires me, and (I like to think) helps make me a well-rounded yogi. If you follow Daily Cup of Yoga on Twitter you'll know I recently declared Hell-Bent: Obsession, Pain, and the Search for Something Like Transcendence in Competitive Yoga by Benjamin Lorr as my favorite yoga memoir of 2012. Some yoga books are great to read before bed if you have a tough … [Read more...] about Yoga Book Giveaway: Two Signed Copies of Hell-Bent!
