I’ve been trying to re-kickstart my yoga habit, and there’s nothing like a fresh new yoga mat to get me motivated. So when we saw that yoga mats in tons of fantastic designs from independent artists are now available as limited editions from Society 6, I kind of geeked out.
If you’re looking for a new yoga mat too (or, weren’t looking at all but now absolutely need one), here are just a few of my favorite designs. Some are funny, some are inspirational, some are modern, some are just calming and beautiful.
Be sure to poke around the category, because there are hundreds of amazing artists there offering yoga mats in pretty much every style — surely one will be just what you need for 5% more inspiration to get up at the crack of dawn.
