What's New in the World of Yoga:
If you are a disciplined yoga student, you probably have a favorite studio that you attend on a weekly basis. Chances are you also supplement your classes with a variety of yoga DVDs at home.
So what do you do when you have a business trip or vacation that takes you away from all of your yoga resources? Maybe you are visiting family for the holidays and need to pack lightly, but still want to put in some yoga time.
Not to worry – with all the innovative yoga products on the market today, you can easily take all of your experience with you and keep your practice on track.
If you are traveling with limited baggage allowance and a rolled up yoga mat is too large for your suitcase, you may want to consider the Savasa "Fold & Go" Yoga Mat. It's a lightweight 1/8" thick mat that folds into a compact square and unfolds into a 24" x 68" yoga mat – perfect for your traveling needs!
Perhaps you're someone who seeks out unusual or hidden away spots to practice yoga while on vacation but you don't want the hassle of taking your yoga mat with you. Well, you could try using "Yoga Paws" for your hands and feet. These non-slip mitts are a great alternative to yoga mats because the "paws" cover your palms and the upper part of your feet. They are excellent for using on any surface and can be used either indoors or outdoors.
And if you find yourself stuck in a hotel without any hope of seeing the light of day, you can always rely on your computer or i-pod. Before you set off on your trip, download some free yoga podcasts or check out YogaHub.TV for guided yoga sessions that you can use anywhere – from your hotel room or a home away from home.
