Take it to the mat!
Just a short post here to tell you that I now am the owner of (count ‘em) THREE brand-spanking new yoga mats. Check em out:
- Light pink: Gaiam’s Dragonfly Hydrangea. My first mat, about two months old. Bought at the cafe of my gym.
- Dark pink: Manduka’s eKO. Used once. Reviewed here.
- Purple: Gaiam’s premium mat. Came today, sent to me for free by the good people of Gaiam (***waves hello to Nathan Joynt–thank you!***) so I can compare-and-contrast vis-a-vis the Manduka. Thinking about taking it to headstand class. It feels nice and padded.
So I now have three mats, and they’re all laid out in my living room just for this pretty photo. Anybody wanna borrow one?
