the ultra-dense mat<br />

is comfortable and<br />

cushioned to protect<br />

joints and give support.<br />

The closed-cell<br />

surface prevents<br />

sweat from seeping<br />

into the mat and<br />

its latex-free, with<br />

non-toxic, emissionsfree<br />

manufacturing.<br />

Additionally, it’s formulated<br />

to help your<br />

grip stronger so you<br />

can hold each pose<br />

with confidence.<br />

The standard mat<br />

is 71 inches long,<br />

but some colors are<br />

available in extralong,<br />

coming in at<br />

85 inches. Standard<br />

length, $120-$140<br />

depending on color<br />

Lululemon The<br />

Towel<br />

It’s not a requirement<br />

to use a yoga towel<br />

but it helps to add<br />

traction, acting as a<br />

slip-resistant layer<br />

between you and<br />

your mat for extra<br />

grip on when transitioning<br />

between<br />

poses. This absorbent,<br />

lightweight<br />

option is made from<br />

slip-resistant microfibre.<br />

The one-size<br />

towel comes in a<br />

variety of colors,<br />

allowing you to blend<br />

in with options like<br />

grey and black, or<br />

add some pizzazz to<br />

your practice with<br />

fun patterns and<br />

vibrant colors. $38-<br />

color at Lululemon,<br />

Gaiam Studio<br />

Select On-The-Go<br />

Yoga Mat Carrier<br />

From home to car<br />

to studio and back<br />

again, carrying your<br />

rolled mat can be a<br />

bother – especially if<br />

it decides to unroll at<br />

the worst time. This<br />

carrier lets you easily<br />

store and transfer<br />

your mat, fitting<br />

nearly any size mat.<br />

It is made from a<br />

quick-dry Nylon fabric<br />

and features an internal<br />

hook-and-loop<br />

strap to secure your<br />

mat. The outer straps<br />

make for easy carrying<br />

over the shoulder<br />

or backpack-style,<br />

and there’s even a<br />

zippered pocked to<br />

keep your phone,<br />

keys or wallet secure<br />

during class. $20<br />

URBNFit Yoga<br />

Block<br />

A block is often used<br />

as an extension of<br />

the arms, to help<br />

balance, elongate<br />

your stretching and<br />

ensure posture<br />

alignment. Another<br />

purpose is to support<br />

the back, head and<br />

hips and help you<br />

hold poses for longer<br />

periods of time. This<br />

standard size block<br />

can also be used for<br />

meditation, Pilates,<br />

and other workouts.<br />

The lightweight block<br />

is made from EVA<br />

foam, which is recyclable<br />

and non-toxic.<br />

The material is nonslip<br />

and moistureresistant.<br />

It also<br />

comes with a downloadable<br />

mobile PDF<br />

yoga block workout<br />

guide and stretch<br />

strap. Available in<br />

pink, purple and teal.<br />

Hydro Flask<br />

32-Ounce Wide<br />

Mouth Bottle<br />

with Flex Cap<br />

You don’t have to<br />

be a yogi to be a<br />

fan of a great water<br />

bottle. However, you<br />

will definitely need<br />

to keep hydrated<br />

before, during and<br />

after class. This<br />

vessel keeps your<br />

beverages chilled<br />

(and carbonated),<br />

whether you’re in<br />

the studio or off<br />

on an adventure.<br />

growler has a Fresh<br />

Carry System, which<br />

ensures a leakproof<br />

seal, temperature<br />

control (keeping liquids<br />

hot for up to 12<br />

hours and cold for up<br />

to 24) and portability.<br />

This particular version<br />

for all-day hydration,<br />

but both smaller<br />

and larger options<br />

are available. Hydro<br />
