Personal Zen

Yoga is easiest when practiced on a good sticky mat and preferably one that hasn’t been used by others. Santa Monica-based YogaMatic stocks eco-friendly mats suited for every personality, but also allows you to design your own from photographs or artwork that you upload to its Web site. The 100 percent biodegradable mats measure 72” x 34” and are printed with water-based inks. Additionally, a portion of every sale goes to Global Green, an organization that fosters a value-shift toward sustainability. “To be a socially responsible company you must actually be socially responsible,” notes CEO William Cawley. This combination of a do-good company that offers a customizable product has attracted plenty of eco-conscious celebs. Jessica Alba and Rachel Ray both practice sun salutations on photos of their dogs, Molly Sims centers herself on a Vegas-style cowgirl mat, and Brooke Shields totes a limited edition designed by none other than Calvin Klein.
