For the forgetful yogi: yoga poses printed on towel

Diane Ako 0 Comments , , ,

This made me laugh (in a good way). I saw that a local company is making a yoga towel with the poses printed right on it, so you can’t forget what you’re supposed to do. 

The company is RipSkirt Hawaii and the towel is called RipWrap. Towels are $35 each (or three for $90). It’s made from absorbent, quick-dry microfiber fabric “with a smooth finish that magically resists sand,” as the website claims.

I have not tried it so I can’t speak to that last bit, but if it works, that would be amazing in itself. Coat me with some of that finish, too.

Towel dimensions are 29” x 61” and it also features a flush Velcro pocket big enough for a cell phone. It comes packaged in a water-resistant self-sealing pouch. More at https://ripskirthawaii.com/products/ripwrap-travel-towels?variant=12869137596504.

Peace of mind By Diane Ako I like to reflect on life. Sometimes it’s philosophically. Sometimes it’s humorously. For all its beauty, life is far too difficult a journey to take alone. You need the support and connection with others to help carry you along the way. Writing brings me that connection– within and without. It clarifies my thoughts and feelings. It helps me reach out to others for advice, wisdom, or feedback. Your thoughts become your actions. Your actions become you. A wise yogi- Patanjali- said, “Speak what is true. Speak what is pleasant.” Let’s speak of things pleasant to one another and seek some peace of mind along the way. ABOUT Diane Ako joined Hawaii: In Real Life in October 2016.
