Top 5 Travel Yoga Mats: A Yogi’s Search for the Perfect Mat
Yoga
Yoga has the capacity to provide lasting peace in a hectic world. Every time you approach the mat for your next sequence of asanas there is a subtle rush of excitement.
Will you finally push yourself into a headstand without the complete fear of tumbling over, and the rush of blood to your ears?
Will your shavasana result in a total surrender that leads you to the discovery of your life calling?
Well, you’ll never know if you always leave your mat at home. Yoga provides so many endless possibilities in stress alleviation, and confidence boosting. So, whether on a weekend camping trip, a world-wide adventure, or a trip to the park; live life fully by bringing along the perfect travel yoga mat.
