Oh. My. Gosh! What an amazing weekend we had at the LA Yoga Expo in Pasadena, California! We met SO many super-awesome people. This was the first time we’ve shown our mats at a big event, and everyone’s reaction to them was absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for all of your love and support (and your orders, of course!

It’s really, really gratifying to discover that we’ve created something that complete strangers love as much as we do. Our only regret is that...

Our Thanksgiving was INCREDIBLE! I love having a full house, using the fancy dishes, and spending the day with those I love most. Quite often holiday preparation feels like a marathon, and once the guests arrive the day transitions to a sprint. I must experience memory loss because every year — without fail — I’m surprised at how quickly I’m standing at the sink doing dishes. Exhausted. Sad that it was over so quickly, yet happy and grateful to have my amazing family and friends. We clearly have SO much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving: Thank you so much...

This is the first in a series celebrating our happy customers. Bringing happiness into the lives of people is at the core of everything we do. Kathy’s purchase was a huge milestone for us because she was our very first customer.
