Kulae Home Studio Collection
Everything you need for your yoga practice at home, or on the go, all in one beautiful set!

From kulae’s website:

We have built the finest eco yoga mats on the market with the tpECOmat™ family of mats. All lines of our tpECOmats are 100% biodegradable, 100% recyclable, and contain NO PVC, NO latex, NO cadmium, NO lead and NO rubber (that means NO allergies). Our eco yoga mats are dual layer constructed, providing two color options and two distinct, grippy surfaces for you to choose, all in one mat. Our eco mats are made of eco-conscious TPE using closed cell technology. What that means for you is that bacteria and germs cannot get “trapped” in the mat, as is the case with most natural rubber mats and traditional PVC mats (which use open cell construction). You will get the grip of a traditional “sticky” mat without the smell, the heavy carrying weight and lingering odors found in traditional rubber/PVC mats. The durability, comfort and traction of the tpECOmat™ family of mats are second to none. We’re so confident you will love your kulae eco yoga mat, that we guarantee your satisfaction 100%.

Being is our mantra at kulae! Unlike rubber and natural fiber mats, our tpECOmats™ do not allow bacteria, germs and odors to penetrate the mat surface. Our mats are 100% biodegradable, our towels are 100% recyclable, both are toxin- and latex-free… we are committed to making the best yoga products that are safe and hygienic for you and for our environment.

kulae is a unique eco yoga company on a thoughtful mission to properly support your practice while preserving our precious environment. For more information on kulae’s products and philosophy, click here.

Timberland Pro Men’s Direct Attach 6 Inch Steel Toe Workboot
With the fall weather coming in, and winter on its way, it is time to start thinking about fall and winter sports, and the gear you need to be ready. I recently discovered a website called Altrec.com that has loads of great sports gear at discounted prices. And I am not talking about off brands, but names like Timberland, Polartec, and much more.

They always have an outlet store, but right now they have a Fall Outlet Sale – Up to 60% off which further discounts a lot of great sporting goods, and jackets for the cooler climate. Definitely worth a check to see what they have, and maybe a few holiday gifts can be crossed off your list.
