Skidless Towel by Yogitoes
April 21, 2013 by Jean Oshima
This is the bombdiggity of yoga towels. Yogitoes has obviously put a lot of thought into the design and quality of materials used. I cannot say enough good things about this towel. I bought the Mayan print version and have used it for heated (105 degrees) Yoga class and have laundered it as well. It even has a cushy round circle at the top just perfect for resting your chin in preparation for spine-strengthening postures when lying on your stomach.

And one of the best parts about my most recent trip to San Francisco is that Virgin America now has $59/one-way non-stop flights from San Diego. And VA just happens to be in the new terminal at SFO airport. If you've not been to Terminal 2 at Read more [...]

Yoga
February 13, 2013 by Jean Oshima
Since I practice and teach Yoga, I could write volumes on the many benefits of regular Yoga practice. Key word here is "regular". Yoga is not something you try once. It's not even something you do on a regular basis, maybe once a week. Yoga is like brushing your teeth- it's a daily necessity for maintaining a balanced mind and body.

Nike Poly Print Capri Tights
February 2, 2013 by Jean Oshima
These capris are by far the best Yoga pants I have ever found. They are a perfect fit. The fabric is so comfortable. They don't ride up on the legs - you ladies know what I'm talking about. The waistband is so comfy! And on top of all that, they are sold at Nordstrom which also earns the 5 Heart distinction for a long list of reasons detailed in a separate post. Read more [...]
