Yoga Pants
These yoga pants are super soft and comfy. They're smooth like butter. Their 4-way stretch makes them a perfect fit for most yoginis (I have men's yoga pants too!). When I got my first pair, 4 friends and I all tried them on. It was like the traveling pants-- they fit us all perfectly even though we were different shapes. Fun designs make them even better! Trust me, I have almost all of them. Which one's your fav?

Topical CBD for Yoga
I love that this topical CBD for yoga is made with yogis in mind! It's super for speedy recovery and relief in your muscles and joints after a tough practice. It targets irritated areas in the body. Also, it smells great with a mix of jasmine, ylang-ylang and camphor. It's made with arnica and jojoba to help minimize swelling and inflammation. The tincture pictured is also awesome!! I tried Fresh Berry and it tasted great. This CBD tincture contains MCT oil, omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, turmeric, and avocado oil that supports more focused energy, positive metabolic impact, and faster recovery, empowering healthy lifestyles, moderate to serious workout warriors, and those with physical discomfort. I also love that it's made with organically grown Colorado Hemp and that all of the ingredients are all-natural plant-based and organic.
