Indo Love No Mud, No Lotus Copper Cuff Bracelet

We’re obsessed with Indo Love’s cute copper cuff bracelet. Copper, beautiful to wear, is known for its healing qualities and can help reduce joint inflammation and ease pain. The hand-stamped inscription reads “No Mud, No Lotus” – a beautiful poetic reminder that through the rough times, we blossom and grow. We just love combining powerful messages with adorable jewelry. The best part? These inscriptions are customizable, so choose from a list, or create your own.

Sapphire Soul Set of 7 Gem Infused Chakra Essential Oil Blends

 

 
Essential oils are popular for their many healing benefits and countless other uses. Sapphire Soul has created a beautiful, unique set of therapeutic-grade essential oil blends to cleanse and balance your chakras. Each blend is infused with crystals that correspond to each chakra (how cool is that?!), and labeled with a mantra that denotes that chakra’s purpose, like “I Love” for the heart chakra, and “I Speak” for the throat chakra. We just love the easy roll-on applicator, great for your purse or bag to apply after yoga or before an important meeting!

I Heart Keenwah Quinoa Clusters

The name speaks for itself, because we heart I Heart Keenwah, a snack that tastes as good as it is good for you. These yummy little quinoa (pronounced Keenwah – thanks for the reminder, guys!) clusters are made with simple, quality ingredients that are certified GMO-free and gluten-free. From peanut butter cacao to cashew cranberry, you’ll have a hard time choosing your favorite flavor. Beware – these are delicious and addicting!

YogaBrights White Yoga Towel with Gold Sparkles

Finally, a yoga towel that is actually slip-resistant, high-quality, AND affordable. That’s the combination we’ve been looking for! This plush yet lightweight yoga towel is fashionable with the adorable gold sparkle edging, and absorbs sweat and moisture no problem – great for hot yoga but also doubling as a beach/pool towel. It’s been put through the ringer of hot yoga classes, washing, drying, and repeating, and still looks and feels brand new. Yay for YogaBrights!

Barefoot Yoga Dharamsala Practice Rugs with OM embroidery

Woven in India, this beautiful, vibrant yoga rug is traditionally used for Ashtanga Yoga in Mysore, India. This yoga rug is versatile: take it with you for yoga in the park, or place it on top of your yoga mat for extra traction and absorption over your regular yoga mat. It’s longer and wider than a regular mat, great for men, taller people, or anyone who wants more room to spread out on. Since it’s 100% cotton, it will move on slick surfaces, and works best when you spray it with water for better traction. Maintenance is easy – throw it in the washing machine on cold and air dry. Shake up your practice and try something new with this ornate, affordable yoga rug by Barefoot Yoga.
