Heyo! I have some funzie products to share from the folks at barefootyoga. They are a great resource for enhancing your yoga practice and zen space, especially during the upcoming holidays when life can be a bit hectic.

Mysore Practice Rug: I really like this earthy soft little rug. Put it over your yoga mat (otherwise you’ll slide around the floor) and it provides extra cushion, absorbs sweat so you don’t slip, and is extra long. It’s just perfect for savasana so that your ankles don’t hang over the mat, know what I’m sayin’? In a pinch you can also fold and use for extra support under your shoulders during plow pose or shoulder stand. I have to admit, carrying it around as my “yoga blankie” is a comfort and…I absolutely love the smell. It smells like earth. Rooted. Grounded. It’s like an added sensory experience while surrendering to child’s pose and becoming one with the earth.

Silk Eye Pillow: Yes please! I love this! This super soft flax and lavender pillow is a little piece of heaven. It’s SO soft! It feels delicate yet weighted, which is perfect for calming tired computer-laded eyeballs at the end of the day. By relieving tension in the eyes (governed by pitta), stress levels decrease, tightness in the jaw releases, and it can even help prevent headaches! If there are any ladies on your gift-list who like a little luxurious pampering, this is probably not something they would buy for themselves. It even has a pretty zipper pouch that it can “sleep” in. Luscious!

    Hi Monica! I am LOVING and EATING UP everything on your site. Read a little every day to LEARN! I emailed you last week – did you get it?

    Do you have a great source for online yoga that you would recommend. I am a Vata and have been drawn towards yoga lately – intuitively knew this I guess. There is so much out there – would love a thumbs up source from you.

    Thanks for the review! Again, LOVE, LOVE , oh yeah, LOVE! your site. Going to go listen to some of your radio shows while prepping dinner. Look forward to hearing from you. :)

    Just a tip. Mealnie Sach’s says that silk is heating and since the eyes are a site of pitta it is best to use cotton eye pillows…without scents .
