Favorite Things Giveaway: Manduka
So excited for today’s favorite things giveaway, because it’s something I’ve been using for years, from a brand that I adore: Manduka!
I purchased my first Manduka yoga mat about 7 years ago. It was the most I’d ever spent on a mat, and my friends assured me that it would be worth it.
They don’t lie. 😉
Years and years later, my Manduka mat is still my favorite, and it feels even better than the day I bought it. It’s extremely supportive and durable, especially during sweaty classes and arm balances.
I’m also a huge fan of their yogitoes mat towels. They’re a staple for hot yoga, wash well, and stand the test of time. The newest ones have small plastic beads on the bottoms so the towel stays exactly where you place it.
When I reached out to my friends at Manduka to see if they’d kindly hook you up with some goodies this holiday season, they surprised me with a new Eko Light mat and yogitoes towel.
They’re also offering the same prize for a very lucky winner. This is perfect if you have plans to expand your yoga practice in the new year, especially if your old mat needs an upgrade.
Enter below. 🙂

I’ve used the Manduka mats at my studio when I forgot mine (sometimes on purpose just so I can use their mats!). As for favorite poses, it’s a tie between Warrior 2, which makes me feel strong and centered, and Pigeon, which is especially wonderful during half marathon training.
I love downward dog and child’s pose. I’m new to yoga but love it so far and notice a good quality mat will help with my wrists, since they hurt sometimes during yoga:)
Anything that stretches my hips and back. Pigeon is a favorite!
Astavakrasana, although I’m definitely still working on it!
My favorite pose is probably the pigeon, it feels so great after running. A goal of mine for 2016 is to expand my yoga practice!

I love pigeon…really helps open up my hips after a long run!
i love holding crooked crow!
i love pigeon so much! i had a yoga teacher once tell me that hip openers release a lot of emotions because we store emotions in our hips. i laughed it off, but every once in a while, i get the urge to do pigeon when i’m really overwhelmed and it helps so much.
Crow!
I’ve never heard of these mats! I love a good eagle pose – really feel like I’m wringing my body clear of toxins 🙂

Not kidding. A new yoga mat and towel is on my wish list for this Christmas season. Fingers crossed.

My favourite relaxing pose is child’s pose and for a challenge that hurts so good I like double pigeon 🙂
Headstand is my fave pose- after many many attempts I did it finally last week 🙂
Savasana 🙂
This would be a great way to start my new years resolution to start practicing yoga…since my current “mat” is a towel in my living room
I love pigeon pose!
I would love a new yoga mat, somehow mine disappeared. So strange, I always keep it in the same place and then one day it was gone. I searched everywhere and never found it, mom brain is real, and have just been renting at studios since (which actually grosses me out so that should be motivation enough to remember to buy one) or using a towel at home.
Seated wide legged forward fold. I definitely need to upgrade my yoga mats – they were all like $10 and I leave a trail of mat crumbs behind me after each class :-/
I love downward dog and pigeon
