Design Highlights

This week we’re celebrating Mother’s Day! (It’s this coming Sunday. You’re welcome.) As a result, we’re calling this week’s design highlight our “Mother’s Day Trio” — three yoga mats with a similar design aesthetic, all created by Karla, and all introduced on the first of May, just in time for Mother’s Day! (And, I should point out, not just introduced on the first of May, but only available during the month of May, so if you love these, don’t dawdle too long or you’ll miss your one and only chance to own one…) All three of Karla’s designs remind us of...

This week we’re celebrating the inimitable screen and style icon, Audrey Hepburn, aristocratic star of the silver screen and towering philanthropist. This coming Saturday, May the 4th, would have been her 90th birthday. Born in Brussels, she spent her childhood bouncing between Belgium, England and the Netherlands, studying ballet, voice, and theater before her breakout Hollywood role as the love interest of Gregory Peck in Roman Holiday. She went on to star in some of Hollywood’s most beloved Golden Age films, including My Fair Lady, Funny Face, and in her defining role as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The...

In our continuing celebration of Earth Day, this week’s Design Highlight (née “Mat of the Week”) is Water, Wind, Fire & Earth by one of our most prolific and talented designers, Karla. The stunning design of our “Water, Wind, Fire & Earth” yoga mat represents the four classical elements of ancient Greece swirling together, revealing creation in all its organic beauty.

(The image on your screen really doesn’t begin to do this yoga mat justice —...

Terry in His Heartland is a very special and personal yoga mat for me. I’m so grateful to my team for their creative collaboration and thoughtfulness bringing this project to fruition. My dad, Terry, had a fascination and love for gorillas. Any primate really, but gorillas in particular. One of my favorite childhood memories occurred on a family trip to the San Diego Zoo. My dad sat on a bench outside the gorilla habitat with my little brother, Thomas, and me for over an hour. My dad led this observation, and by his example we were content to sit there...

Mee-Maw’s Wallpaper Introducing our latest journal feature: Design Highlights! In honor of Thanksgiving, our very first Mat of the Week is Mee-Maw’s Wallpaper; read on to learn why… Mee-Maw’s Wallpaper When I was growing up, each Thanksgiving we would go to Grandma Martin’s for lunch and Grandma Emery’s for dinner. Two huge meals in one day. Each house was crammed full of people, food, and simultaneous conversations. At Grandma Martin’s I was one of the younger cousins (I’m the 8th out of 11 on that side), and while my older cousins and the adults would sit in the living room visiting...
