Manduka eKO 5mm Yoga Mat
First to recommend
2 people recommended this item
Description
I am an avid yoga pracititioner, and no mat works better than the Manduka eko mat. It is the widest mat I can find, giving me ample space to practice in class. The mat never moves, so you don't find yourself tripping over your mat while vinyasa-ing. Also, it's entirely eco-friendly and is biodegradable. It should last you about 5 years, so the $65.00 will pay for itself many times over had you instead opted for the $30.00 plastic mats. Namaste.

Shiva Pillow
3 people recommended this item
Description
Savasana is already rewarding enough, but with this pillow by Yogitoes, you'll be swirling in a warm aura of heaven while lying on the studio floor. Perfect for anyone who likes relaxing, meditating, or yoga, I use it all the time under my head. It is so comfortable that two people have tried to steal it from me. You have to try it to believe it. If you are trying to get some deep thinking done, buy this, lay on the floor, place it under your head and neck, and think away. That multi-million dollar idea will come to you in no time (I hope!).

Description
You will never want to take these pants off once you have tried them on. They come in a wide variety of colors. Beyond yoga has a secret recipe for making the most soft, comfy, stretchy, wrap yourself up in the coziest material ever. Not to mention their durability. I have been wearing and washing mine regularly for a year now and they still look great. Trust me on this one. Even if you don't do yoga, you need these pants in your life. T

method soy candles
2 people recommended this item
Description
I love candles, but have a hard time finding a scent that is something I really want to be smelling for multiple hours. The method candles, however, are the most amazing smelling candles out there. They smell fresh, never fragrancey. Their scent fills up a room at just the right level - never too much or too little. Perfect for setting the mood, relaxing in a bubble bath, sprucing up your desk, or practicing yoga. You'll feel my passion once you smell them.

Be Here Now by Ram Dass
3 people recommended this item
Description
This book changed my life, literally. Be Here Now is written by a successful Harvard Psychology professor with a pHD who left it all behind to travel with gurus in India to learn meditation, ascetisim, and most importantly the mantra of "Be Here Now".
It begins with his story of transitioning from Harvard Professor to Ram Dass, his spiritual name. The middle and biggest section of the book is a collection of psychadelic-esque illustrations meant to emphasize the meaning of "Be Here Now". The last section of the book reverts has pertinent information and knowledge, including the "Cookbook for a Sacred Life".
If you are looking for a book that will really open up your mind and challenge the daily train of thoughts running through your head, this book is for you. Free your mind. Be here now.

A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose
4 people recommended this item
Description
A good read is always a must for the beach. This is best read I have ever found. Tolle's book changes the way you think, but slowly and sensibly. There is no hounding here. Just an awe-inspiring awakening to a way of seeing the world that makes so much sense but you may have never thought of before. Want to change your life? Read it. You'll thank me later.

These are great for traveling. I don't always want to bring my mat but I Do want to practice while away. These are easy to fit in any suitcase and great to use. Provide slip protection anywhere you use them. Get your dandasana on.

Himalayan Institute Neti Pot Complete Sinus Cleansing System Starter Kit
First to recommend
Description
My mom uses one and no longer gets those awful sinus headaches. I bought one for my roommate who had chronic snoring problems and congestion in the winter, and that completely went away after one use. The neti pot is semi-new to Western culture but so helpful. Good for anyone with sinus congestion or who just wants to clear things up a little bit. Just add warm water, a dash of salt, the included gentle wash, and start neti-potting. It may look scary, but this homeopathic remedy will save you so much grief and money on sinus-clearing medicine. Not to mention it's better for you!
Check out the how to video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8sDIbRAXlg. The video is hilarious. But I swear this thing really works.

Organic Cotton Eye Pillows
First to recommend
2 people recommended this item
Description
Eye pillows. Ah, the perfect end to my yoga practice. I love using my lavendar scented eye pillow in the tub, on my mat, or in bed. These are entirely eco-friendly, too. They are made with solar power, use earth and allergy-friendly dyes, and are made with organic cotton (so soft!). Plus, they come with a hemp travel bag so your eye pillow stays fresh and clean in transport.
