I’m super excited to announce RedYogaMat.com, a new online children’s boutique ! It’s been a big project creating an e-commerce site, but we are up and running! Here are some of the great things you can find at RedYogaMat.com:

For the young yogi:

I know that many people’s holiday shopping budget’s are tight, so each gift needs to be that much more meaningful and special.  Kids are feeling the stress of the times right now, too, and yoga inspired toys combine play AND relaxation, two things great for kids! Why not give kids the gift of well-being through yoga!

How to Make Flip Flops out of Yoga Mats July 31, 2008

I’m always looking for things to do with yoga mats once they are no longer in good enough shape to take to my classes. Here’s a video someone made about making flip flops out of yoga mats!!! I can’t wait to make my first pair.

Eco Yoga Mats December 26, 2007

Found this interesting post on eco-yoga mats:

I plan on buying eco yoga mats the next time I make a bulk purchase, and I thought this was a great resource with a list of sources for eco yoga mats. When I do replace my mats, I don’t want to just toss them, and it has a great link to ideas for reusing old yoga mats. The best idea for teaching was to cut up old yoga mats to make shapes and letters for kids games or stamps.  You can use cookie cutters and an xacto knife, or just freehand it! For older kids, they could make their own stamps.

Here’s a link to all sorts of cookie cutters to choose from:
