Sarah’s Boutique Love #1 – Jade Yoga Mats
Good morning 889ers! As I sit at the front desk this morning tending to your lovely phone calls and e-mails while simultaneously listening to the brilliant Lisa Mitchell teach her Wednesday morning Parent + Baby class, I can’t help but be jazzed about all the groovy things we have in our boutique! In light of this beautiful day and spring being a few short weeks away, I want to share with you my favorite boutique products at 889 and why I think you’ll love them too!
#1, as many of you can probably imagine, is JADE YOGA MATS! THE GREATEST INVENTION IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE O.M.G. (Oh My Ganesha)!!!
The two most obvious things that rock about Jade Yoga Mats are the seriously deep and earthy colors, my personal favourite being midnight blue, and the unreal texture that your bare feet and hands can’t help but feel nurtured by. BUT, once you take a closer look at these mats there is so much more to them than this simple sensory input.
Jade Yoga Mats allow you to become grounded and connected with the earth beneath your feet so much more than the conventional yoga mat because they are made from just that, THE EARTH! The rubber used to create these yoga practice essentials is 100% natural; Jade Yoga taps their rubber from rubber trees in Southeast Asia, I’m not kidding! They are created sustainably in the U.S. and contain no synthetic rubber or PVC (one of the world’s most hazardous consumer materials with extremely high toxic leaching rates)!!!!!!!!! These are amazing qualities for both our health and the health of our environment.
If that isn’t enough to inspire you, for every sustainable and environmentally-friendly Jade Yoga Mat that is sold, Jade Yoga plants a tree to give back to the environment AND donates $5 to ovarian cancer, breast cancer or autism awareness depending on the mat color you buy. HELLO! WHAT AN AMAZING COMPANY INITIATIVE!
To top it all off, celeb yogis including major hotties Baron Baptiste and Simon Park as well as two of 889’s favorite goddesses, Shiva Rea and Sean Corn, all use Jade Yoga Mats in their daily practice. WHO DOESN’T LOVE CELEB YOGIS?!? Of course, celebrities aren’t what it’s all about. Your yoga mat needs to work for YOU…
If you have no idea what I’m talking about and have never tried a Jade Yoga Mat, we rent them for class-use for $2. Swing by the front desk the next time you’re headed to class and rent one of our olive green Jade Yoga Mats!
Stay tuned tomorrow for Boutique Love #2 from yours truly 😉
Love & Light,
Sarah
