Barefoot Yoga – Yoga Mat & Silk Eye Pillow
Today I would like to introduce you to the company called Barefoot Yoga Co. that has been in business since 1998. Yoga is something I have been doing for the past couple of years and although I am no where near an expert at it…I do enjoy doing it twice a week. When you visit Barefoot Yoga you will find a wide variety of yoga related products like Yoga Mats, Yoga Clothing, Yoga Props, Yoga Accessories, Mysore Rugs, Hemp Clothing, Silk Eye Pillows, Yoga Books, CD’s & DVDs as well as other yoga related items.
My Review: The generous folks over at Barefoot Yoga sent me their Hybrid Eco Yoga Mat to try out for our review. I was really excited about trying out their yoga mat because mine has seen better days! This yoga mat comes in 11 fun colors and costs $21.95. I am reviewing the spring green color which I love that shade of green! The yoga mat measures 24″ wide x 68″ long in size and is very soft & has a great cushion to it so it’s comfortable to stand on, kneel on, lay on, work-out on and meditate on. It is made from 100% recycled polyester which contributes to it’s strength and longevity. I love that it’s an eco-friendly yoga mat!
The yoga mat comes rolled up during the shipping process and I was worried that it would curl up the first few times I used it…but…I was pleasantly surprised that the mat laid flat the very first time I used it! It has the PERFECT width and length to it and I would say that it is approximately 1/4″ thick. For those of you who need a light-weight mat to take back and forth to yoga classes, this is the perfect mat for you. As I did my yoga routine with my classmates I was very impressed at how comfortable I was standing, sitting, laying down, etc. on this mat. I have heel spurs and my spurs did NOT bother me at all while I was using this mat. That is a HUGE plus to me! The mat has a “checkerboard” type of texture to it so that you are not sliding around on it. In addition, if you do yoga in bare feet like I do…you will not slide or stick to this yoga mat. Again, huge bonus points for that! I LOVE this new yoga mat I received and have been using it at yoga classes and at home when I privately work-out or meditate. I give it a HUGE 2 thumbs up…matter of fact, it is the BEST yoga mat I have ever used!
I also received a 100% silk eye pillow to review for all of you. First of all…I would like to tell you that I am a migraine sufferer. I have suffered for over 20 years with migraines at least hitting me 2-3 times a week. When one strikes I absolutely can not stand any type of light. Their eye pillows are made out of 100% silk and filled with flax seeds and dried lavender. When you place this silk eye pillow across your eyes it feels so great against the skin. It will conform to your shape of face and sit comfortably in place, blocking out the light. They are completely refillable, hand washable and adjustable thanks to the zipper on the side of the pillow. This product costs $19.00 and in my honest opinion, a must have for headache/migraine suffers like myself! BIG 2 thumbs up on this product!
