It’s Tuesday morning, and every week you’ve come to expect us to highlight one of our recent yoga mat designs (or two, or sometimes even three). You expect us to tell you a little bit about the designer, something about the inspiration for the mat, maybe a bit of history behind it. Last week was all about our Donut Worry, Be Happy yoga mat design. Well THIS week we’ve got something REALLY exciting for you: An entire COLLECTION of new yoga mats! Introducing our new Zodiac Collection! We’ve created individual mats for each of the 12 signs of the Zodiac,...

AKA, “Are You Insane?!” Well…no. Let me explain why they cost $137 AND why you still need one even at that price… Unlike our competitors, we don’t crank out generic yoga mats by the thousands (or tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands). We’re a small, family-run business in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and we print each mat individually to order — custom made exclusively for you.

Hannah, Georgie, and I typically only reach for water—and the fellas Darin, Jack, and Charlie like an occasional diet soda, iced coffee, or jumbo glass of juice.  Honestly, I'm tempted sometimes by their flavors and options but—every time I get a soda or anything other than water I don't like it. It's too sweet or tastes like chemicals, or is just kinda yuck.So the girls and I have been playing around with infused water options. Also known as detox water...

We live and work in the Prospect Park neighborhood of Minneapolis — it’s this incredible little neighborhood of winding roads, 100-year-old houses, 200-year-old trees, and a hilly landscape not often found in the middle of a major city. Most locals don’t even know we’re here — tucked away just blocks from light rail and the up-and-coming Malcom Yards development. One of our favorite features of our neighborhood is our proximity to the TCF Bank Stadium (Minnesota Golden Gopher Football) and Surley Brewery (possibly our city’s most famous export after Prince and Bob Dylan). Both of these venues (before Covid-19) had full summer...
