Not only will this added layer, prevent slipping while practicing yoga-it’s super absorbent, and puts a hygienic layer between you and your yoga mat. Available in great colors or select an “Altruistic option” –in pink, with $5 of each mat purchase going toward Breast Cancer Research.

Vanity Fair:Om, Sweet Om

Lori — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 04:09:53 +0000

I was so psyched to see all the yoga people I admire + respect as part of ther Vanity Fair June Issue photo shoot. Stunning photographs by Michael O’Neill of yogis–including Christy Turlington, Donna Karan, Sting + Trudi, B.K.S. Iyengar, John Friend, Shiva Rea, David Life + Sharon Gannon, Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, Dharma Mittr and Rodney Yee are featured. This will certainly be noticed in the world of design + style…lets see how it translates. “No wonder Americans are Downward Dogging by the millions: yoga can work wonders on mind, body, and soul. In the U.S., 16.5 million people practice it, and it’s thus become a coast-to-coast, Zeitgeist-defining phenomenon as well as a multi-billion-dollar industry. ” –Vanity Fair
