It's back to the mat for me. I truly believe in the physical wellness pyramid of cardio-flexibility-strength and have been somewhat neglectful of the flexibility part of my health. I've To celebrate finding this class, I made this nifty yoga mat carrier. Isn't it just so cool!?! I used batik fabric that a friend brought me from Africa. Very special fabric - I think it's very well suited for this purpose of helping me be more flexible (literally and figuratively).
And while I'm being introspective, have you ever thought about the connection between tea and yoga? Both encourage centerdness, both encourage reaching high and getting rooted (green tea - pu erh tea), both have great variety and diversity. I've blogged about yoga and tea once before. Others have noticed this connection, too - like this Tea and Yoga Society of San Francisco.

Love your yoga mat carrier. Great fabric. What a nice correlation between yoga and tea.
What a great way to use the fabric from E.! I'm sure she'll love seeing what you've created out of it!
Nice! I think that carrier is better looking than the ones I've seen in stores!
I am asking for the "Let's Yoga" Nintendo DS cartridge for Christmas (mainly because it has instructions for "chair yoga" that I can do while sitting at my desk at work).
I walk on the treadmill every other day, but I know that is not enough.
I'm glad you found a yoga class that works for your schedule! Yay for being healthy!! :)
Beautiful!!
Hi Steph- I agree there is a connection. Both tea and yoga could be described as ancient, ceremonious, and sacred. Those are big but comforting things that fascinate me about each!
Btw, love the yoga mat bag! :)
