Review-Aurorae Yoga Mat/This contest is closed

Do you know of an exercise that has been practiced for more than 5,000 years and includes benefits such as flexibility, strength, posture, breathing, concentration, less stress and more?  Yoga is a world-renowned way to build your body as well as develop inner peace for your mind?  Many people think that yoga is just stretching.  But while stretching is certainly involved, yoga is really about creating balance in the body through developing both strength and flexibility. This is done through the performance of poses or postures, each of which has specific physical benefits.  The use of a yoga mat can make these poses or postures more comfortable to perform.

While I no longer attend a yoga class as they are not offered at the YMCA in which I am a member, I do frequently attend several other classes where a yoga mat is needed.  I am also considering beginning the P90X program which includes a yoga routine.  Anyway, the Y supplies mats there but I prefer to use my own, however I did not have that luxury until I received my Yoga Mat from Aurorae.  The mats provided at the Y are a substandard mat that do not provide the grip and comfort that the Aurorae Yoga mat does.  If you’ve ever taken a fitness class, you know it is hard work and, as we ladies call it, “glistening” is inevitable.  OK…sometimes I break out in a full sweat.  LoL!  The last thing I need to worry about is slipping off of my mat.  Also, I have very bad knees.  Any of the exercises that require me to get on my knees absolutely kill me.  The Aurorae Yoga Mat offers the perfect amount of comfort and cushion for my knees and whatever else needs it.  Finally, if you are a big yoga person, you know that keeping your balance is critical.  Many times, having a focal point is extremely helpful.  The Aurorae Yoga Mat includes a Focal Point at the top of the mat that gives you something to focus on during the yoga poses that have you facing downward.

What all did I receive from Aurorae?  I received the Aurorae Yoga mat, plus the Slip Free package which consists of a Slip Free Rosin Bag plus Sport Sweat Towel to review.  Very nice and very useful!

• Ultra thick 1/4″ mat for impact absorption
• Durable and long lasting material
• Focal point icon to help concentration
• Colors that define your inner self
• Extra long 72″ comfort for all size users

The Giveaway:
