Yoga Happens Beyond The Mat…

My love for yoga has been around for decades (yikes how old am I). I first embarked on my journey while at SUNY Oneonta (Go Red Dragons!) and took a Philosophy of Yoga course. After graduation I moved to Manhattan and I promptly signed up for a Yoga Works membership. I was a first year public school teacher with a minimal salary and small studio apartment. I prioritized yoga over most things then. Fast forward to my move to Brooklyn where I fell into a deep and sweaty love of hot yoga with Yoga to the People. 

Now a few weeks away from a certification to teach kids about yoga, breathing, and mindfulness, yoga has once again morphed and found a new place in my heart. 
For all the yogi’s out there here are a few of my favorite yoga finds- 

Yeti Mat & Strap- I have had this mat for years and it is such great material, print, and I honestly would only replace to pick up another one of their great prints. https://www.yetiyogaco.com

Beyond Yoga set- I have this set in coral, black, desert sand, grey, and white. The top is perfect to give coverage and hold it all in and it is super comfortable. The pieces are also great to mix and match and with a denim jacket it is perfect for on the go! https://beyondyoga.com

Lululemon Yoga Bag- this fits a yoga mat, yoga towel, chapstick, wallet, and keys perfectly for on the go. I prefer a bag to a mat strap so it doesn’t get dirty during travel. https://shop.lululemon.com

Shandali yoga towel- I have this brand in a few colors but it is full length for your mat, absorbent especially for hot yoga, and can be purchased on amazon!

Capri blue diffuser oil- I spoke about this brand sold through anthropologie in my Mother’s Day post and love using it to set the tone for yoga relaxation. https://www.anthropologie.com

Gaiam yoga blocks– the perfect compliment to any yoga set. Not too soft and essential for modifying poses
