Right before I had my foot surgery, I had a chance to get a new yoga mat from Aurorae Yoga. If you haven’t tried one, you absolultely need to them are amazing! With my great mat in hand, I decided I needed to start doing some more yoga. (In case you didn’t know yoga is an amazing upper body workout, heck it’s an all over body workout!)
Mr. Crunchy and I don’t really have the budget to pay for yoga classes right now, so I figured I would hit the World Wide Web to see how I could teach myself new yoga poses for free! What I wasn’t expecting was the amount of FREE videos you can get too! It was like a Yogi smorgasboard! (or however you spell that word)
Aurorae Yoga Mat: The Right Mat for Any Yogi
Before you start getting into yoga, I can’t stress how important it is to have a good mat! I have used several yoga mats over the years, even the $5 specials from Walmart. Getting the right kind of mat makes all the difference in your workout. Once you work up a sweat, you don’t want to have to worry about slipping and hurting yourself. The Aurorae Northern Lights mats are built for just this!
They were originally made for hot yoga, where they elevate the room temperature which makes you sweat more. What does that mean? It means you aren’t going to slip off your mat and bust your bum! These mats are extra cushy, and have a great color pattern to them. Now that I have one, I won’t use any of the Walmart special yoga mats anymore! (Plus they are eco-friendly, which you know makes me happy)!
Now that you know what mat to grab, check out the list. You don’t know how to do yoga for free, because the best part is I have done the hard part for you! This is a great list of places you can look to find some amazing yoga tutorials, 30 minute workouts, books, and videos all for FREE!

I used to do Yoga daily, I need to get back into it! I like the Sunset color best of the Northern Lights yoga mats. The price is good for a quality mat so I’ll have to check these out. Oh and thanks a bunch for the free yoga links!

I cannot agree with you more about having the right mat. Gaiam TV has great yoga videos too. We watch through our Netflix subscription.

Pinned it! Very interesting, thanks!

Those mats are beautiful! Thanks for all the links… work used to offer yoga but it’s looking like that won’t be happening, and now that I’m hooked, I want to continue without spending the money.
Cinny says
Thanks for all the great resources! I love yoga and don’t have the time for classes.
Amber Edwards says
This is fantastic! We have been looking for some Yoga resources, but don’t really want to spend all that money on a program we MAY or may not like. These are good sources for yoga videos to get us started.
