Pick of the Week: Indian Rosewood Yoga Blocks

Grace’s Pick of the Week is our Indian Rosewood Yoga Blocks. “The Indian Rosewood block is made from the Shisham tree. It’s a sustainable hardwood that is readily available in India. It is prized for its luxurious looking dark heartwood. The varied grain and color makes each block unique. Its durability makes it a great prop for your practice.”

Yoga blocks add stability and length to your postures, and these Rosewood Blocks are lightweight and comfortably smooth to the touch. Indian Rosewood is very eco-friendly compared to other materials, because this species of tree grows very quickly, reaching up to 100 feet tall. Parts of the Shisham tree are used in Ayurvedic medicine to cure skin problems and other ailments.

Visit www.barefootyoga.com to purchase our Indian Rosewood Yoga Blocks, Eco-Friendly Bamboo Yoga Blocks, and other earth-conscious yoga props.

New Hybrid Nature Mats covered by the Seattle P-I

Our own local Seattle P-I recently covered the release of our new Barefoot Hybrid Nature Mats on their website.

“Just in time for Earth Day, Barefoot Yoga Company has added a new product line to their wide selection of eco-friendly yoga mats, called the Barefoot Yoga Hybrid Nature Mat. This new mat is a variation on their popular Hybrid Eco Mats, which are made without the toxic phthalates or heavy metals found in traditional PVC yoga mats, but still offer the longevity, durability and traction of a traditional mat.”

Masala Mysore Rug Giveaway at The Flying Yogini

“In honor of the warmth and brightness that is coming, and thanks to the awesome crew at Barefoot Yoga, I give you my latest giveaway.  To celebrate the desire to open our windows and bust our asanas on the green grass, in cahoots with Barefoot Yoga (a totally perfect name for a company, right?), I am giving away a Masala Mysore Practice Rug. These rugs absorb sweat and water, and actually work best when damp, to provide great traction and stretch to help hold a pose.  So April showers will not deter you from flowing in the flowers! They are great on their own or paired with a mat.”

The Masala rug features multi-colored stripes in beautiful earth tones, with Indian details woven throughout the rug.

We’ve partnered with Nancy at Flying Yogini to offer a giveaway of our colorful and authentic Masala yoga rug. The giveaway runs through March 31st at 6:00 a.m. EST, and the winner (selected at random) will be announced on the Flying Yogini website, as well as on their Facebook and Twitter.

Visit Flying Yogini for details about how to enter the contest, and check out www.barefootyoga.com to browse and buy our yoga practice rugs, available in a wide variety of colors and patterns!

Pick of the Week: Barefoot Hybrid Nature Mats

Samantha says, “My pick of the week is the new Barefoot Hybrid Nature Mats! They come in both the standard 1/8” mat or thicker 1/4″ mat. The same durability and eco-friendly aspects of our Hybrid Eco mats, these mats come in a new beautiful wash pattern with color variations.”

All of our signature Hybrid yoga mats combine the best of environmental and traditional mats. They’re free of phthalates, heavy metals and latex, and their durable recycled polyester mesh scrim means that the mats stand up wonderfully to heavy use. Our new Hybrid Nature Mats are available in nature-inspired color blends, which combine two tones to create a beautiful marbled look.

Barefoot in Boston: the Glamorous Life of a Yoga Mat (Barefoot Yoga Mat Review)

“Before Sandy, when Long Beach still had a boardwalk,  I received a purple yoga mat and lavender scented eye pillow from Barefoot Yoga.

The mat traveled with me to several different classes, visited studios in New York City and on Long Island. It survived post-Sandy construction. It was my Ashtanga,Vinyasa, and slow flow partner. Just when we were getting used to our newly re-finished floor (see picture), I rolled her up and took her to Boston.”
