Practice Makes Perfect

One day this girl's head will touch her toes with ease - it takes patience and practice to perfect poses

Quote from The Special Yoga Centre

Jo Manuel, the Director of The Special Yoga Centre shares her experience using our Luxury Travel Mat.

"I really like practising on the travel mat. It feels quite luxurious, it is non-slip and doesnt take up much space in your bag. I think everyone who travels and has a self practise should have one of these mats."

Great Moves!

That's what we call a beautiful position!

Luxury Travel Mat

John Harrop is a personal trainer, Piltates teacher, Yin Yoga teacher, and nutrition coach covering most of Dorset. See his quote below regarding our luxury travel mats!

"I won one of these fantastic travel mats in an auction after the OMyogathon at the London Yoga Show last October. It is wonderfully tactile, gives great grip, and feels thicker than it looks. That slimness of depth is perfect for travelling. It has become my mat of choice."

Shoulder Buster

Howard Napper's Tip of the Week:  

Shoulder buster. Lay on your front with the elbows bent and head forward. Great for releasing tension in the shoulders, neck & face.

Special Yoga Centre Support

Some of the world's leading Yoga teachers participated at the 2012 London Yoga Show in October last year, each leading 9 Sun Salutations. The OM YogaThon challenge was to complete 108 sun salutations and raise a minimum of £108 in sponsorship. agoy donated  Luxury Travel Mats as prizes to raise funds for the Special Yoga Centre and provided all the mats used by the particpants (pictured).
