plant your yoga allowance for earth day

reduce your carbon footprint & help the environment through a home practice on earth day. go on, get outside - in your backyard, on the sidewalk, or wherever you can find some sunshine - & get grounded with an asana ecosystem of vrksanas, tadasanas & surya mamaskaras to salute the environment & all of the animal poses you can think of to honor the wildlife that put up with all-things human. then take those funds, that you would have spent either at the studio or the deli (when you are grabbing a post-yoga snack), & donate them to american forests.


the yogadeal: give a little green to plant a little more green. since every dollar counts, dedicate some of your greenbacks this earth day to the birthday planet (it's on thursday, 4/22 in case you forgot).

be a tree for $20! (for halloween)

while still debating on a costume for halloween this year, i channeled my asana practice for inspiration - et voila - a vrksasana (tree) costume for under $20!















here's what you'll need:

for your trunk: 1 brown terry cloth jogger suit from american apparel (each piece is now on sale for just $5!)

for your leaves: 2 autumn leaf garlands to wrap around your wrists & head for your branches ($4.79 each). you can cut these to your costume to the perfect fit!
