Accoutrement: Gaiam Yoga Kit

April 17th, 2012 • BY Erinn Morgan

If you’re like us, your yoga mat has seen better days. Flaking, peeling, with giant potholes where our downward-facing dog feet hit, and in need of a good power wash from all those steamy, hot Ashtanga classes.

Yearning to save the planet (and some dough), we’ve held onto our cushy relic for far too long. But we’ve been inspired by the affordable Gaiam Tree of Life Yoga Kit ($44). This spiffy set includes a 3mm yoga mat that is super grippy and 6P free (eco speak for free of six of the most concerning phthalates), a fully recyclable stainless steel water bottle, and an ample cotton tote that easily packs in a yoga mat, towel, and water bottle.

The mat, which is emblazoned with Gaiam’s gorgeous Tree of Life print, is a bit thinner than our old luxuriously cushy mat but our poses feel a bit more stable with less cush and more grip to the ground. The 750 ml water bottle is super light and dishwasher friendly; it also has a big, wide open mouth for easier cleaning and drinking. The roomy natural-color tote has lots of pockets and an embroidered Tree of Life print. All pretty inspirational when you consider the price tag.
