I’ve been practicing yoga off and on for years. I’m trying to get back “on” again and this pretty mat might supply the motivation I need.
This two-in-one yoga mat from Yoga Design Lab combines an absorbent microfiber towel with a 3.5 mm rubber mat, providing you with both grip and cushion. This design is perfect for me since I often find my hands sliding in certain poses. This mat also comes with a shoulder strap for yogis on the go.
The Combo Yoga Mat is $88.00 at Nordstrom.

- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Can you introduce an ok to wake clock for the first time at 4? My just turned 4 year old has been waking up so early for the last six months or so. For a while we had luck getting her to go back to sleep in our bed but even that has stopped working recently. Most days she wakes up between 5:30 and 6:30 but there have been days when she gets out of bed at 3:30 and won’t go back to sleep even when we tell her it’s the middle of the night. We – and she! – are exhausted. She is not a low sleep needs kid and until very recently she was a 7:30-7:30 sleeper, and I can’t believe her sleep needs have changed so dramatically in such a short time (and we definitely see evidence of sleep deprivation in her behavior). She claims she doesn’t know when daytime is and when she’s allowed to get up so we were thinking the clock might help (at the very least we will have a response when she tells us she doesn’t know when she’s allowed to get up?), but everyone I know who uses one introduced it at a much younger age.
Does anyone do yoga with your bigger kids? Any recommendations for an online program or some streaming content? TIA
Oh, ick. This is essentially a towel you can’t throw in the washer.
