One Plastic Bag at a Time

This is a public service announcement for all of you out there who do yoga at the gym or a studio.

Buy a mat.

I've always been a little queasy at the thought of using the mats at the gym and bought my own years ago. Think about it - whether you're going a very active form of yoga or something a little more stretchy, you're still going to sweat. Then, at the end of the class, you roll all that sweat up in the mat and let biology do it's thing.

And hot yoga - don't even get me started on that. Take lots of sweating, a warm, moist environment and what do you get? Human bacteria frappe.

Namaste!
