Best of NY Gift Fair: Plank Yoga Mats
by Jasmin Malik Chua, Jersey City, USA on 02. 8.08
Bring some tongue-in-chick whimsy—or flat-out weirdness—to your yoga sessions with Plank's new collection of eye-catching, eco-friendly yoga mats, which are primed to make their debut in April. Made from EcoLite, a lightweight new material developed specifically for the yoga industry, these mats require less energy to produce than any other yoga mat, according to the company.
PVC-, latex-, and natural-rubber-free, Plank's anti-slip yoga mats are also nontoxic, biodegradable, and recyclable. You'll get to choose from four designs: a cobra (a reference to the cobra pose), a deep shag-pile carpet, pills scattered on a bathroom floor (eh?), and a plank of wood with a half-eaten blueberry muffin (we're not sure we get this one). Prepare to pony up $85 a piece to be the strangest, or at least the most talked-about, one in the studio. ::Plank

Hi, Jasmin:
These are weird, but I kind of love them - not enough perhaps to change from plain old purple. I really don't get the pills on the floor, but the green shag carpet is just so COOL and I totally get the blueberry muffin thing - some of us erstwhile yogis skip meals to do yoga but then find our grumbling tummies definitely interfere with our supposed-to-be-floating attitude on the mat!!
