Uncategorized

Welcome to the second day of Yoga Week!

Hopefully you’ve already entered in the Gaiam yoga mat giveaway. But what good is a yoga mat if you are just going to get it all mucked up taking to class? And I don’t even want to think about the germs it might pick up along he way- yikes!

Luckily, the folks at Manduka are generously giving away a top-of-the-line yoga mat sling. Let me just tell ya- I am super jealous of whoever a scores this goodie because it is jut as stylish as it is functional.

From the Web site:

Anytime, anywhere, the Mat Sling is the perfect accessory for your yoga mat. Light, stylish, and extremely durable, the sling is made of recycled fabric and designed to adjust to every body type and any size mat. With an attachable pouch to store your wallet, keys, water bottle and essential personal items, the Mat Sling is a model of sophisticated simplicity. Whether you walk, bike, or drive to the studio, the Manduka Mat Sling makes the transition from your life to your mat fun and effortless.

Highlights

    I recently started yoga last semester when I took a class–I fell in love with it, but I have yet to buy a mat! I would have to say my favorite pose so far is the downward facing dog.

    Great giveaway!
    My favorite pose is crow, even though I’m not that good at it. It just always makes me laugh as I attempt it.

    My favorite pose has always been Warrior 2. Honestly, I just feel like a total badazz when I hit it correctly! I also like revolved triangle – great for my back! (Unfortunately I just don’t get to practice yoga very often.)

    Thanks for the good blog – now that I’ve found you I’ve added you to my Reader Subscriptions!

    I’m still a yoga newbie, but I love downward facing dog! Simple, but good. I love how it feels so tight when you begin with the pose, but by the end your stretch becomes so much deeper. Sometimes I am in awe of what my body can do and it makes me feel so strong! Yay for yoga :)

    I do love me a good wheel pose – as long as my wrists will hold me up for at least! hoping to increase my upper arm strength to get into some headstands and handstands!

    I just bought a beautiful yoga mat (Aurorae) but it needs a case! I’m a yoga beginner right now so my repertoire of poses is very narrow. Thus far, honestly my favorite pose is the tree pose. My real name means ‘tree’ so I’ve always loved trees, but I love the calm found in balancing on one leg.
