Great Green Find: Lotus Pad Eco-Friendly Yoga Mat Giveaway

I am all about living a healthy and fit life. I have built physical activity into my daily schedule, so that I will have “me” time everyday. One of my favorite ways to stay healthy and fit is doing yoga. My favorites are Bikram and Power yoga. Yoga is fabulous for relaxation, flexibility and it makes me feel more mentally and physically connected with myself.

For the past few months, I have been following the creations of a fabulous 100% Eco friendly yoga mat and accessories company called lotuspad. Lotuspad makes the most beautiful Earth friendly, 100% biodegradable yoga mats and accessories that I have ever seen. Katy Downy is the owner of lotuspad and started the company when her adorable daughter Eleanor was an infant, as a way to give parents an alternative to mats makes of toxic PVC. Lotuspad’s yoga mats are luxuriously soft and thick and come in an array of fabulous color combinations. {I love that the mats have different colors on each side} Lotuspad also makes the most adorable kids size yoga mats. I love that all of lotuspad yoga products are produced in small batches and limited runs, eliminating mass production.

Eben has taken several yoga classes and really enjoys it. {His favorite pose is tree pose, which he looks adorable doing}I did notice that he had a hard time getting my mat straight (since it is so large) and I think he would be over the moon for a lotuspad in his own size and color of his choosing. I also think that he would enjoy the softness and thickness of a lotuspad.{hmmm.. maybe for the holidays.}

If this weren’t enough lotuspad also makes the sweetest yoga mat carry straps. I love this idea, because when I take a class, I have to carry my yoga mat in a gym bag or tote and the carry straps are just so much more cute and convenient. I love the designs {they are bold and colorful} and the fact that the carrying straps are handmade locally in Massachusettes in small batches.

If you are in the local Boston area you are lucky, you can have your lotuspad Eco yoga mat and accessories delivered to your door from lotuspad using her local cargo bicycle delivery program. Isn’t that wonderful?

Katy @ lotuspad has been so lovely to offer ONE of my wonderful readers their very own carry straps in any design you would like. This is a giveaway I would love to keep for myself.
