Customize your yoga mat

You can’t go a day without doing yoga. But you’ve hunted high and low for a yoga mat that truly defines you and you’ve had about as much luck as Jennifer Aniston has had in starring in a hit movie. The floral designs, the damask prints and the inspirational ones telling you to breathe just don’t resonate with you.

The solution: Gaiam’s new customized mats by CafePress. Choose from five mat colours, and select from a menu of graphics and upload your choice of image(s). You can even add text if you want to.

So perhaps it’s a snapshot of the ocean from your last vacation that you want on your mat, or a line from your favourite poem.

Or, I don’t know, maybe it’s a pic of Damon Salvatore that’ll inspire you to get all bendy and flexible.

Turkish delight

Hot yoga is not for me, but I’ve accidentally found myself in a “reduced heat” class more than a few times and walking over the grubby floor in my bare feet made me shudder — the thought of the floor covered in a cocktail of everyone’s sweat, blech.

If I were to suddenly take up hot yoga, though, I’d be investing in a Baktuli towel. This Vancouver-based company’s line of 100% Turkish premium cotton terry towels feature Microban for antimicrobial protection — at least I’d have a little more peace of mind after tip toeing onto my mat with Baktuli layered over top.

The current collection features six styles, each displaying a positive message. My favourite style is this Sun Orange number…but I’d probably have to customize mine to read “Some like it hot (just not me).”

Baktuli yoga towel series, $48 each.
