New Year New You: Yoga Giveaway



I'm working with Lotus Fitness again to bring you this next giveaway!  And guess what, I'm also a part of a Giveaway blog hop!
This means that there will be lots of other bloggers giving fun stuff away on their blogs as well. When you are done reading this one, you can click on over to another blog and check them out. The links will be posted at the end of this page!

You may have remembered me talking about the Recovery for Runner's Session that we did at the Runner's World Festival where we used the amazing Xfinity bands. Well the Xfinity bands were not the only piece of fitness gear we  tested out. We were also gifted these super cute Yoga bags. This yoga bag is so roomy inside and even has a place for your yoga mat on the outside.  I love the purple and silver color and it is perfect for holding all my fitness supplies inside, even my foam roller.

Lotus Yoga Tote -- Pretty and practical yoga and fitness tote.
 
Outer sleeve holds yoga mat in horizontal position
Sectioned interior keeps items organized
Full-length zippered top keeps belongings secure
Silky silver and dark silver paisley design with deep lavender accents.


I was also gifted a new yoga mat. This is a really cool mat because it is an alignment mat. This way you know exactly where to place your hands and feet. This helps with keeping your balance and focus!
Lotus Yoga Alignment Yoga Mat
Printed designs provide guidelines for foot, toe and hand placement
Printed designs offer several  “focal point”
images to help center, focus and balance each pose
Full size yoga mat: 24” x  68” x 3 mm
 
Non-toxic synthetic rubber free of chlorine,
latex and PVC
Classic sticky texture
Medallion design in teal and turquoise
Woven design in teal and grey


And of course inside this awesome bag was a yoga block. I didn't really understand the purpose of the yoga block until I started using it. I thought to myself "couldn't I just use something that I had laying around the house?"   I couldn't think what else I could use that would be soft AND sturdy and have the nifty finger grips on it. I have seen other yoga blocks out there but they do not have the hand grips on them. That is key!

Lotus Yoga Grip Block
Cut outs make block easier to grab and use during practice
Light but strong – supports up to 200 pounds
Provides stability to deepen poses and increase stretch
Easy to clean
Deep teal


All of these Lotus Fitness products can be found at Walmart stores and Walmart.com for less than $20 a piece!

Guess what? One lucky reader will be gifted all this amazing yoga stuff!  That's right, you will get the bag, yoga mat (color may vary), and yoga block.  What a great way to start off the new year!


Make sure you leave a comment below and then be sure to click on the rafflecopter and let me know that you commented so your entry counts. Once you click on the Rafflecopter you will be offered other ways to enter ( this will give you  more entries). You can enter all the ways or none of them. Which ever you are comfortable with.

What is one fitness activity that you want to incorporate into your routine this year?
