Manduka Yoga Mats Help Fund the Cure

If you’ve ever tried yoga without a mat, you know things can get ugly. Just catch me in my mom’s living room, on nothing but carpet because I’m too lazy to shop for the proper gear, and you’ll know what I mean — slipping, sliding, poses that fall apart, poor form all around!

If I’m going to do yoga, I need a mat. So do you.

There’s no better time to get equipped than now, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month (think healing, recovery, overall better health)!

Here’s what you need to do:

Head over to Manduka, purveyor of premium yoga gear, and check out the Pro Lite Yoga Mat in Orchid (yep, the pretty pink one). Buy one (or more, because it is almost holiday time, you know?) and 20% of the proceeds from each purchase will go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. (Oh, and free shipping on orders over $100.)

Manduka is about more than just yoga — it’s about giving back, too.

Yep, I see that.
