For my girlfriend who want to start yoga !
http://www.ieatmypigeon.wordpress.com Liv

I first tried yoga while I was living in Japan. While I loved the stretches, my insecurities about my Japanese language abilities made me miss all of the relaxation benefits. I quit after 5 very expensive classes. Back home in New York, I’ve taken it up again – and regularly this time! I’ve been going about once a week all summer and I adore it. I never feel so powerful as when I’m dripping with sweat and executing a move I couldn’t do the week before. Yoga makes me feel brave, proud, strong, and healthy – things I don’t always feel in my every day life. That my arms are finally getting a bit more toned is just the icing on the cake.

What’s not to love about yoga? It’s a great way to reflect on the essence of living!

A great way to relax after a long day in the office!
http://www.kaleidoscopicwandering.wordpress.com JoAnna

Though I’m a tangled mess when I do yoga, I always feel good afterward that I’ve made it through another session. For me, yoga is a way to unplug mentally while toning my body and brain.

I like yoga because it helps me feel centered…and because my first yoga teacher taught me how much fun inversions are, and now I want to do them in the halls at work…
Birgit

Yoga is my excuse to relax and concentrate on what’s going on in my too often neglected body. It’s a great way to take time for yourself and relieve some stress!

I just got into yoga and I love it! If I won this, I can get even more motivated to do the best Warrior II I can do!

@lilikat
@jennkol

I was introduced to Bikram last year on a business trip in CA and I fell in love with it. I always leave class with a more limber mind and body.

@paulinagaran

http://www.sliverofice.com Erica

I love yoga. It always makes me relax and get exercise at the same time. Amazing. And helps me build strength as I’m not going to get injected with magical gamma radiation superpowers like She-Hulk, but I still want those arms.

I love yoga because not only does it help me tone and get fit, it also centers me and makes me more calm and relaxed.
Melanie

Its the most relaxing type of exercise that I have ever found. I can adapt a lot of the moves to accomodate my currently bad knee.

Yoga is a time to mentally unwind thus relaxing my muscles too.

Kate

@grannysmither i’ve been trying to lose weight (i’d like to still say baby weight but my youngest is now 3!) by doing yoga but have no proper kit so would really love this
Teri

@TeriKarobonik Because it keeps my body from turning into a minivan for my brain.
Jennifer Thorpe

@jenniwren12 I used to do yoga every day until I had my children, which left me no time to do it. Now they are older I am really looking forward to starting again. It is totally invigorating yet relaxing at the same time, I love it!

I’ve practiced Bikram yoga for two and half years and love it. Because it’s so hot and sweaty I can always use new gear!

@MIRAS0L

While staying at an eco-resort in Tulum, I was trying to get my money’s worth (for a $30/night, sand floor cabana so I attended the included sunrise yoga classes. The hour and half workouts kicked my butt, but turned my vacation into the longest, most relaxing week of my life. I’m still no expert, but I’m a convert! I do yoga often, my husband is now trying it–though he would kill me if he knew I was posting that on a public forum–and we are looking forward to yoga-ing during our future travels in order to meet people and get into relaxation mode. I would love to look like I know what I’m doing!

@tikitrouble
Yoga adds balance to life, especially when clubs, live music and parties are part of your life too. We hike every weekend, and I run 3 times a week, but yoga is my real way of feeling the calm vs everything else.

@maliayoshioka

i love yoga because it helps to keep me centered, and it makes my body feel long and lean.

@silvia4

I’ve been doing yoga for about 6 years now and I’m so glad I got into it. It’s one of the most relaxing workouts I’ve ever done and I feel so centered when I finish my practice. Aside from that I just feel healthier and of course there’s the obvious fact that it’s a phenomenal workout.
JulesB

@purejulie – This could get me going back to yoga after about a year off. It would make downward dog seem soooo much more stylish!!

I am a teacher and it helps me de-stress after a long day of work. It is a good way to have time to myself…

Yes….yes, I want this.

@StrayNotes
Michele Smolin

@minicorrect – I love yoga because it helps me to relax and feel centered.
Angelica

@angeliquita – I love yoga because I used to be a skeptic… I never understood the mechanics or sensations of practicing yoga, till I gave it a shot with a “Kundalini Happy Hour” class after work. After uncontrollably shedding tears & feeling a new inner strength during the class, I’ve actually shared my optimism & experience w/ others to join in . It’s a Thursday ritual for me now!
mary

@mkfanto

It’s not just an exercise but a way of life. Yoga is the perfect blend of flexibility and strength and touches mind, body and soul. it also makes you want to touch your toes at least once every hour! Might as well look good while you are doing it!

@tabexamineslife
My luggage allowance for moving home after five years of living in Australia was only 32 kilos. This unfortunately means my much loved and much used yoga mat was left behind. A new one and the other cool gear to go along with it would be great! Pick me, pick me!!!
http://www.tabs-examinedlife.com/ Tabatha Smith

Okay, oops, just realized there’s no yoga mat included, but the other gear is great and would love to win it!

Yoga is relaxing as well as a good exercise.

@EmilyH13

Firstly BIG thankyou for picking me as a winner of the jacket Hope i’m allowed to enter again and you don’t think I’m being too greedy!

I like yoga because it’s so easy to fit into the the day. Even doing 10 minutes each day gives noticable effect to both body and mind.
Alison

@ali991

I’d love to start yoga as apparently it stops you being stressed. This kit is lovely and would be a real incentive
http://www.surfergrl.co.uk Kat

My current yoga gear is from Lidl [budget UK supermarket]! So I could do with this…
http://www.surfergrl.co.uk Kat

@surfergrl
I love yoga’s inclusiveness – anyone can do it, it’s non-competitive and everyone benefits from it. Make my surfing stronger and more flexible, and the same for my head. You can’t stress while you’re focusing on an asana!
Jessica Vance

This will make me look like a workout star even if I skipped Yoga for coffee on the porch.
http://www.wired2theworld.com Kristina

Cute stuff! I REALLY need to get back into doing yoga regularly again. Maybe this would give me the kick-start (kick-in-the-ass?) I need!

Hi! You can send me a message @_iamthewalrus_

I love yoga because it’s invigorating and natural. I’m going to Kerala to learn real yoga on my upcoming around-the-world trip!
http://www.twitter.com/summerday008 Dana

Honestly, I did not think I would like yoga when I first tried it. I’m not typically into a lot of trendy stuff like that. But I really like it! Its relaxing and it makes me feel very in tune with my body.

@Kathy_SixEight

Man, do I want this one! I started doing yoga recently with a friend, but (since I have been unemployed for several months now) I can’t afford to buy my own kit. If I win this, I will have my own equipment and don’t have to borrow pieces anymore! Yoga really helps me with increasing my flexibility and weight loss goals…
http://www.imedge.net Carolyn Wilman

I have exercised off and on over the years. I am really liking yoga this year as even on tired days I can do it. I only have 1 yoga outfit. I really could use more and these items are so beautiful! I can see myself in Mountain Pose in them right now

I am at @NomadTests and like Yoga because it is really the best overall workout, no matter your condition, size or bodytype.

i had a dream this morning about yoga.. there were a bunch of guys in tight clothes with yoga mats lining up for class. when i woke up, the word “prana” was echoing through my my mind. i got out of bed, turned on the laptop and looked and called a couple local yoga schools for yoga teacher info. then i got on twitter and found this! i love yoga cause it has opened my mind as well as body up for peace
Lindsay Anvik

@lindsayanvik I do yoga for the spiritual/mental/emotional benefits. I find that it helps me quiet my mind (and my mind can be very noisy between work and family and friends). It allows me to be in the “present”. Sure, my arms are more toned, but the best part is that my spiritual self is getting a work out. I’m forced to forget about everything and enjoy the present and present challenges that yoga hands me every time I practice.
Kurtis

Yoga is great for breath work and relaxing!

@lovestoclimb

I would give this to my wife but would secretly wear it while she’s out to look pretty.
http://www.lina-g.com Lina

@linatic

I started doing yoga recently as well- as a way to reduce everyday stress and to get in shape. Yoga allows me to balance my mind, spirit, and body. I’d be so happy if I got this kit!
http://www.frugal-bonvivant.com @FrugalBonVivant

I love yoga because it makes you slow down & relax!
laura

I am just begining with yoga, I’m hoping to ease my upper back and neck pain as well as helping me to destress. Also been reading a little about doggy yoga, hoping it will help my blue heeler with his anxiety issues. He was a rescue pup who spent 3 months in a shelter, that can be terribly traumatic for a puppy.

@randiliz

why I love yoga? A good practice fills me with such a calm, positive energy that I wish I could capture and bottle for my sad/rainy days.

Yoga cleanses my body and my spirit. I feel happier after I practice, and definitely spread the good vibes for the rest of the day. I’m hoping to travel to India early next year.

I like yoga because it was the first thing I learned that gave me some time for silence in my hectic day. I am always on the go, and yoga teaches me that it’s okay to cool down and decompress my thoughts. Plus, ashtanga is a great workout.

after enrolling on a Yoga Class, i am not stress free and is more relaxed than ever. Yoga is really very helpful both in physical and mental health.
Miki Tamura

@mtamura790
I am a NYC college student and usually stressed out from keeping up grades, and going to yoga to the people in NYC really helps me relieve that stress…That’s why I love yoga so much!
http://ovenzest.blogspot.com Jenna

@jennablu

Yoga is an incredibly powerful method to transform the way in which I feel about both myself and the world. By adopting a holistic view on the way my body works and moves, I can not only see, but understand how every person in the world is commonly related. We all have two arms, two legs and I believe we all fundamentally want the same simple thing from life: to be happy. That and to perform a killer Downward Dog.
Barbara M

@JalapenoMama
I love yoga!
The benefits for me–relaxation, getting centered.
For me it’s just as important as the cardio.
robin

@robeen
I love yoga because it is SO efficient – mental clarity, emotional sanity, deep breathing, health, strength, movement, and meditation = all in one!

@katmagick

Yoga is the best way to increase your flexibility. I love it!

After a long, stressful day as a nurse, yoga relaxes and calms me down. I am at peace afterward.

I’m @browneyedgrrl on Twitter. I like yoga because it helps me to know myself, and in turn I can better understand others.
