Products we love
This is my go-to bolster! I own four rectangle shaped ones. I use them with clients and for myself. I've had them now for four years and they are as intact as when I got them. It is super easy to take off the cover, wash it, and put it back on!
Manduka eKO Superlite Travel Yoga Mat
I use this one for traveling. It easily folds or rolls up. Depending on the type of practice, I sometimes will put it on top of a public yoga mat if needed for hygenic purposes.
This is my other travel mat and it also works well to use for clients who need to borrow a mat or underneath singing bowls for sound baths.
This is my newest discovery. I use it in hot yoga classes and core power classes. No matter how much I sweat, I don't slip on it. It's a win so far!!!
REDEARTH Round Pouf Ottoman
I love this pouf! It's great for sitting, meditation, or kicking up your feet. It also comes in a variety of color options.
Meditation Floor Pillow
These come in a set of two and there are quite a few color options! They are wonderful for sitting on the floor for meditation, drinking tea, or working on a puzzle.
Books we love
This book, by Michael Singer, was a game changer for me. It helped me to better understand and feel what it means to be in the seat of the observer with my thoughts. We can't be the thing we are observing, right?
I can only begin to explain how beloved this book is to me and how amazing the author is! I was able to teach myself the practice of restorative yoga from this book. The pictures and explanations are fabulous. I use this book so much that got it spiral bound with a protective cover.
I found this book at a used bookstore and it became one of my favorites instantly! Even though I don't have arthritis, I use it for myself and as a reference guide for teaching. I find the organization of this book to be very user friendly. There are photos of the poses, listed contraindications for each, and a step-by-step outline of how to do them.
Kamini Desai was my Yoga Nidra teacher. This book provides a great overview of Yoga Nidra and I use it as a resource often.

Vuori Clothing
Years ago I had the opportunity to test this brand as they were emerging. I fell in love with it right away! This company invests in their employees, the community, and environment. I wear their yoga clothing often for my own practice and for teaching. My loungewear is primarily their performance hoodie and joggers.
