A dynamic yoga mat
Hot yogis who love a good sweat will love doing it on a super-cool mat. Alo Yoga was inspired by two childhood friends who found yoga as a safe haven from the anxiety and high-stress of life. They create yoga mats that withstand the sweaty sequences of even Bikram yoga—with cushions for joint support and an anti-odor and dry-wicking, slip-free bottom. This mat is non-toxic and free from formaldehyde and PVC.
