Green Your Yoga – Mat

As the dreary winter months have me craving feel-good endorphins wherever I can get ‘em I’m discovering one way to feel a little more chipper is yoga. (There’s just something about most yoga instructors voices that makes you feel happy and grateful – even with all the slushy snow on the ground. )

A simple way to green your healthful habit? If you’re new to yoga and are in the market for a mat – buy carefully. Most yoga mats are made with ozone-harming PVC. Instead, opt for a hemp or natural rubber mat like these products from Barefoot Yoga. (They’re even having a sale right now!)

Namaste.
