She likes her black labrador Selkie, unexpected anagrams, and cracking the sugar on creme brûlée with the back of a spoon.
Whether you’re a master of inversions or just working on your downward dog, yoga can be a great way to reconnect with your body and establish confidence-boosting continuity in your everyday routine. Heck, it’ll even improve your health. The only problem? Some of us don’t exactly have the space at our disposal for a home gym. And that trendy yoga studio down the block? It’s also spendy, and sometimes your schedules don’t align. No worries: We’ve rounded up some stylish essentials will boost your yoga and meditation practices alike, and best of all, they can bring a calm, centered feeling to any corner of your place.
