what are your plans?

mexican hot chocolate for yogis

spice up a chilly evening with yogi tea's new flavor, mexican sweet chili. peppered with fiery herbs, with a sweet kiss of cocoa, this tea is perfect for the vegan or lactose-intolerant hot chocolate-lover. add a touch of milk (kind of your choice) for a creamier treat.

not a tea lover? try some calorie-free yogichocolate.

the yogadeal: order online from one of my fave e-tailers, luckyvitamin for just $2.33 (waaay cheaper than a hot chocolate from starbucks).

skip the antiperspirant & just let it be known - i love sweat

ok, i'm actually not a huge sweater (read: one who perspires, not an article of clothing), but i do like building heat in my yoga practice & i secretly love when i help my students break a sweat.

nonetheless, some great yoga-beater (read: tank top) designs are to be found at ilovesweat.com. the bikram-loving founder even created an ingenious way to fund a friend for yoga teacher training by charging $5 more per shirt - because school is expensive!

the yogadeal: tanks start at just $15 a piece!

sweet moisturization in minutes

channel your inner-winnie the pooh & take a scoop of the honey, usually reserved for your post yoga workout-tea treat & massage it on your face as a mini-masque (make sure to wash your face first).

honey has natural moisturizing properties, making it an excellent weapon to combat the chilly weather ahead of us. keep the sticky-goodness on for about 15 minutes & then simply wash away with warm water to feel the moisture.

the yogadeal: chances are honey is already in your cubbard, so give it a whirl without dipping into your pockets.

$5 fierce asana + jeWELLery

be well with arielle is kicking off their launch event with some kick asana by the fierceness that is sadie nardini. after an hour of heart-pumping yoga, get a sneak peek at arielle's line of jeWELLery that are eco-chic, chakra-inspired & sprinkled with some reiki love.

other karma-friendly companies making cameos at this event include: generation love (organic t-shirts), this chick bakes (delicious vegan, gluten-free nibbly bits), plus a musical performance by some dude named jay. guess you'll have to check it out yourself to see what else awaits you!

the deets:
what: be well with arielle launch party
when: wednesday, 11/18 (yoga starts at 6:30pm, event follows at 7:30pm)
where: the fierce club
why: because you aspire to be yoga fabulous

the yogadeal: mention be well with arielle & 6:30pm yoga is only $5.

is that a rocket in your pocket...

or did you just nab 5 pocket-sized shobha sanitizers for $5?

- alcohol-free germ protection - a pleasant surprise from shobha, home of the hair removal clean freaks, keep these sanitizers handy if you are teaching yoga or fostering a communal mat during class. i like to spritz the unscented sanitizer on my hands & feet before & after i step on the mat or begin adjusting students.

yogadeal: 5 spritzers for $5 that's better than happy hour & it's hangover-free - you can't be that with 3 sticks (translation: it's unbeatable).
