Living on a semi-tropical island pretty much means sandals and flip-flops are a staple of life. Avid yogis also appreciate the simplicity of sandals since they make jumping onto the yoga mat that much easier. One thing I've discovered from all my sandal wearing though is that not all sandals are created equally. I'm definitely a picky sandal wearer--they have to look, and more importantly feel just right--so I have to say I could hardly contain the smile on my face the day I received a pair of … [Read more...] about Juil Sandals Make Happy Yogi Feet

Don’t Leave Home Without Your Manduka eQua Plus Towel
Not long ago I found myself stuffing a suitcase for an overseas business trip. As usual, I contemplated cramming a yoga mat in as well (since business trips suck without a little yoga), but given luggage limitations I went for the next best thing and tossed my new Manduka eQua Plus yoga towel into the bag. While the eQua Plus towel provides a perfect top layer for your favorite yoga mat, I've found that it also substitutes perfectly well as a mat replacement when I just need a clean, non-slip … [Read more...] about Don’t Leave Home Without Your Manduka eQua Plus Towel

Sanctuary by Donna De Lory
Another highly-recommended yoga album: From DonnaDeLory.com Singer and songwriter Donna De Lory has always followed divergent musical roads. The petite, vivacious brunette with the mighty voice happily dallied in the mainstream as Madonna's sassy tour sidekick for over a decade, but her own parallel journey as a solo artist follows a more eclectic muse. A devoted student of yoga and spiritual teachings, De Lory's lushly conceived solo albums, like her 2009 ecstatic groove Sanctuary, are … [Read more...] about Sanctuary by Donna De Lory
Manduka eQua Towel Provides Amazing Non-slip Yoga Surface
I ran three miles on the treadmill this morning and then jumped on the yoga mat for some oh so nice cool down poses. Usually when I run I sweat buckets, then by the time I unroll my yoga mat I'm dripping puddles on my mat and slipping around like an ice skater. It's kind of gross...and dangerous at times. Not so today, though. While I really do like my Black Mat, the truth is when I start sweating a lot it gets a bit slippery. Maybe I just haven't worn it in well enough yet. Anyhow, I … [Read more...] about Manduka eQua Towel Provides Amazing Non-slip Yoga Surface
Yoga Journal: My Secret Guilty Pleasure
Yoga Journal is my secret guilty pleasure of sorts. I'm not sure why, maybe it's the high school locker room dude in me, but I still get uptight about people knowing that I read and enjoy a magazine that 1) is about yoga (which is still weird to a lot of people I hang out with), 2) caters heavily to women, and 3) regularly has a pink or purple cover. Much less for reason 1 than reasons 2 and 3, I read YJ at home and take Runner's World to work just to keep up pretenses.... But behind closed … [Read more...] about Yoga Journal: My Secret Guilty Pleasure
