How I lug my stuff to class and all the extras I use to make my practice feel whole.
I’ve got this in black. It’s perfect for hot yoga because the grip is supreme and lasting over many sessions. It doesn’t hold smell and the wave design is really unique. The only downside is that it’s a bit heavy, but the cushion and grip is worth lu...
The Wavy Mat
For the extra spicy classes that require a towel, this is the one that I’ll toss in my bag. It has solid grip, stays in place and covers my entire mat. I feel like it absorbs quickly without getting slippery and dries fast after class.
Towels
My personal favorite are the cork ones. I love that these blocks are made from cork and recycled materials. They hold up very well in hot yoga and absorb sweat without getting slick or too smelly. They are easy to wipe down after a practice and have ...
Recycled Foam Yoga Blocks and Cork ...
These are always in my bag and I try my best to get to the studio early so I can get a little extra stretch in. They are super helpful to get that deep stretch for all those large and small muscle groups and everything in between. They dry quickly an...
Long & Short Yoga & Stretching Straps
Love this bag, it is super easy to roll up my mat and toss it in here and head to/from class. It’s large enough for my hefty, odd shaped mat and can be cleaned easily. Black is one of my favorite colors so it fits in nicely with my wardrobe and match...
Yoga Mat Bag - Black
Fit
My tried and true clothing, hair accessories and shoes that I wear to/in class. I swear by these for how they hold up in high heat and over many uses/washes.
Love this brand and everything I own from them has held up after many washes and wear. They don’t hold smell and are buttery soft, even over time. The pieces hold their shape and I always get compliments on my sets. Their styles and colors are eye ca...
Women's Matching Athletic Workout Sets
I had a former teammate/best friend recommend this brand and as a washed up athlete, I had to give it a shot. I love that they allow the buyer to choose which cause they would like a portion of their purchase to support. I have 3 sets from this brand...
Acta Wear
Stays in place during hot yoga and keeps the sweat out of my eyes, which is essential for any inversion. All my baby hairs are kept in place and I can just toss it in the wash with the rest of my stuff.
Headbands
Literally the last hair tie you will ever need. You won’t buy another brand/type after you try these. They do not pull and hold without pain for all day comfort. Over time they lose their shape a little bit, but for the most part they keep their form...
Hair Bands Shop
Gotta have the slides for class. The perfect all seasons shoe for early morning classes, just throw on a pair of thick socks and you’re set for those winter months. I love how they mold to your feet and really grow to feel like your own over time. Th...

What I put in my body before and after class to make sure I can focus on my poses rather than the heat.
Keeps my water ice cold for hours even in the heat. I love the variety of colors and sizes to choose from and their warranties give me peace of mind. It can handle me tossing it in my bag or car when I’m running late.
Water Bottles: Reusable Bottles, Mugs & Jugs
I love to prep a bottle of this ahead of class so I can have half of it before and the rest of it after. It’s even better chilled in the fridge and is thirst quenching after breaking a heavy sweat. Easy to drink and you feel the difference in hydrati...
Liquid I.V.
My favorite tasty treat after class to quickly replenish the tank. There are so many good flavors but my favorite are the peanut butter, coconut, and chocolate covered peanut butter. You really can’t go wrong with any option you pick and the mini opt...
