Over the weekend, I quickly mentioned the fact that I took some time to incorporate a little yoga back into my life. I know I say this every.single.time, but I really wish I would do it more often. I just love how relaxed and stretched out I feel afterward…even if I do need to work on being able to really “zone out” (my mind is still going a mile a minute during all of those sun salutations).
Lucky for me, I had a little extra motivation this time around to get into some downward dogs, thanks to my brand new yoga mat.
A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by Aurorae Yoga and was asked if I would be interested in testing out one of their yoga mats. I was most definitely interested (I’ll show ya why in a second), and early last week, my package arrived, complete with an Aurorae Northern Lights yoga mat + yoga mat wash.
So for those of you who have been reading for a while, you may remember when I showed you all my horrendous yoga mat. That was back in June.
We’re now in April, ten months later, and guess which yoga mat I had still been using…
Oh gosh, I’m embarrassed. Is that thing not atrocious looking or what?
Well thankfully, that old pink thing is now out in the trash and I’m sporting my brand new Aurorae mat. Honestly, I would have been excited over any new yoga mat, but this mat is absolutely great.
For one, it’s an extra long length (72 inches) so I didn’t feel like my limbs were hanging off the ends the whole time. It feels much thicker and softer than my old mat (5mm), which is much easier on the joints, absorbing impact better. All of the Aurorae mats are also made of a PER Eco Safe Material, are Biodegradable and Phthalates free.
So not only do I love the feel of the mat, but I think the look of it is absolutely beautiful. The Aurorae Northern Lights yoga mats were actually created to replicate the phenomenon that is the Northern Lights, and no two mats are exactly the same.
In addition to that, the mat also came with a little booklet with information on their products, including a couple pages of sun salutations and yoga poses.
I really love everything about this yoga mat, and I’m hoping it will serve as a good motivator to keep me coming back to my yoga practice. Who knows, maybe I’ll even try another hot yoga class with it?
But honestly, as soon as I tried it out, I knew it was too great of a product to not be able to share with you. So I got in touch with the company again and asked if they’d be willing to let me spread the wealth a little more, and they said yes! So…
I’m giving away an Aurorae Northern Lights Yoga Mat + Yoga Mat Wash to one very lucky reader! (Giveaway is open to US residents only, sorry)

Ruthie Hart says
I would love to win this! I dont like bringing my personal mat to the gym so I’d love to have two!

Ah your giveaways are making me so happy! Ever since trying to gain some weight, I have cut down my cardio and embraced more low intensity exercises including yoga. I now practice 2-3 times a week and absolutely love it.
Lauren says
I need this yoga mat in my life because I feel that actually having one would make me want to do yoga more! :)
Ashlee @ A Step in the Right Direction says
I do not even have a yoga mat right now! I want to incorporate it more in my routine too, I really like how relaxed and stretched out I feel after. It does not feel like a workout, just a time for me. I could really use this yoga mat :)
Alex says
I’d be interested in trying the Aurorae Yoga Strap! Seems like it can definitely help get a better stretch.

Megan Joy says
I need a yoga mat in my life because I always just use the ones at the gym. I would love to have my own at home!
Kathryn says
I don’t have a mat right now, so it’s harder to do yoga in my living room, and a gym isn’t in the cards right now. I’ve got a video, but it’s hard on my carpet.
Jenab says
One of my 2012 resolutions is to try out yoga. I think a yoga mat in my life would be just the push I need to begin! Also those colors are beautiful!

Liz says
I checked out the website, and I would love to try the yoga blocks. I’ve been seeing them incorporated into workouts online lately, so I would love to try them out.
Kathryn says
I’d love to try the yoga block. It would help get me back into yoga and provide the extra support until I’m loose enough to do the poses without help
Alexandra C says
OMG I would LOVE to win this yoga mat!! I have recently become a huge fan of Bikram Yoga and have been atttending a studio in my area but do not have a yoga mat so I have to rent one of theirs which has kinda been grosisng me out seeing as thought Bikram is by FAR the sweatiest form of exercise I have ever experienced in my life!! That place is HOT!! Awesome giveaway!!
Alexandra C says
Ah now after looking at their website I could definitely use the sweat towel (or like 5 of them) too!! haha

Kathryn says
I tweeted your giveaway

Mandie Powell says
I need this mat because after 3 yoga classes every week my mat now looks exactly like your old one!
Katie says
I need this mat for so many reasons. I’m in desperate need of some mat spray. I can’t ever find one I really like. IT’S GREEN! Hello, Earth Month! It’s extra long. My legs need the extra space. Plus if you have an extra long mat, other people can’t get as close to you. Plus, it’s pretty! Can you just skip the contest and pick me :-)
Lauren Theis says
This mat sounds wonderful because I ALWAYS hurt my knees and spine on my thin mat. I’ve yet to be able to find a thicker one that I like but your recommendation sounds great!
Erin says
I would love to update my Walmart mat to something a little bit nicer (and not falling apart). My mat has quite a resemblance to yours at the moment, it is quite embarrassing!!

my old mat is looking GRUNGY.
I would like to think that a pretty new mat would mean MORE downward dog for my v. tired running legs ;)
Erin says
Also, the sweat towel would come in handy during bikram classes!!
Mandie Powell says
The “Synergy” yoga mat and towel combo would be an amazing product as well!
Dayna Gaunce says

I would love to try the Aurorae Yoga strap – what a neat idea!
Kelly says
I tweeted too! :)

Kristin says
I would love to try out the Aurorae yoga mat so i can actually do yoga with my whole body on the mat. I have a 5 below yoga mat which i bought 2 of and line them up so i fit :0
i would also love to feel the thickness to it as my is as thin as a piece of paper haha.. i roll mine up 3 times to get the thickness i need!!!!
good luck to all!!!
Amanda says
I, too, don’t do yoga like I should! But, I am so sure this yoga mat may change my mind! :)

I tweeted about the giveaway! :)
Gabrielle says
I would love to have this yoga mat to get started on Yoga because, I need to de-stress and yoga seems like a perfect fit.

Brigitt says
I’d also really love to try the mat wash–especially after a hot yoga class!

My current mat has been used in our garage for situps after boxing and is now dirty and has some oil stains on the bottom. I would love a new yoga mat since I’m starting P90x now!
Divya says
I would love this yoga mat because I do not own one and I am currently doing P90X. Doing the yoga portion of the workout without a mat is not too fun so I know I would put this yoga mat to great use.
Holly says
Because mine is old and gross and leaves pieces of itself everywhere… :(
Traci says
Love this yoga mat! It’s beautiful and I could definitely use a better quality one.
Laine says
I would also like the sport sweat towel because I am quite the drippy sweater…

Rachel says
The yoga mat spray would be amazing at helping me ward off the funky smell on my new mat!
Alexa @ Simple Eats says
Mine is orange and worn out. I want one in a fun color!

Shanna, like Banana says
My main yoga mat is a Lululemon cloth one that is great for Bikram, but I need a new mat for regular yoga too. And this one is so pretty!
Kristin says
I would also love to try out the yoga blocks. I am actually doing the p90x and the blocks would come in handy big time. The slip free bags also look pretty neat – there are actually a few items i woulf love to try on that site.
Thanks again
Maura @ Running to Saks says
I just checked out the website & the slip free package would be so helpful for me! I need to try that resin!

Chelsea @ Chelsea's Health says
I would also love to try their organic mat wash!
Helen says
I recently moved to New York and didn’t bring my yoga mat from home with me! I would love to have this Aurorae one because it sounds amazing! Thick and high quality, and the ombre color is gorgeous!
Caitlin says
I would love have this beautiful mat! I have just started to practice yoga a few months ago, and fell in love! I always use the ones at the studio and haven’t purchased my own.. this would be wonderful for my practices, since i’m pretty tall and the mat is long :)
Carly says
This mat looks awesome! I currently have a mat but would love to have an extra for when I try and talk friends into coming to a class with me. The first excuse is always their lack of mat – problem solved! :)
Brooke says
This would give me an excuse to finally try out yoga! I have been wanting to for so long, and it’s gorgeous at that!
Kelly says
I would love this mat. After moving across the country twice in 1 year, my yoga mat has mysteriously disappeared!
Christy says
The hubs and I preparing for our upcoming vacation (the need for better bathing suit physique has kicked into high gear.) Needless to say, I have purple yoga mats and the blue/green mat would be more “masculine” for the hubs. Not to mention he’s a little taller than me, the longer mat would be more beneficial.
Annie says
I need a new yoga mat because my lovely cat took an interest in doing yoga on it too if you know what I mean!
Kate says
I need a yoga mat cause mine looks like yours haah!
Tracy says
I don’t own a yoga mat. I would love to have one. I often get rug burn on my elbows or slide during a warrior or crescent position. :)

Their denim yoga mat bag is now on my wish list too! How fun and retro!
clare @ fittingitallin says
I need a new mat because mine is from Target 5 years ago and it looks like your old one!!

I need this yoga mat because I’m committed to practicing more yoga. These high intensity workouts are wonderful, but I need to make myself slow down and stretch out on the regular! This mat would be a great, beautiful, wonderful incentive! :-)
Kelly says
I would also like to try the slip free package. I need a good yoga towel and anything to help stop slipping sounds great!
Kristin says

I tried yoga once years ago, but would love to use this mat to try it again. Plus, it’s beautiful!

Brittanie @ Three Bracelets says
I need/want this beautiful yoga mat because I feel like I’ve taken a back seat with yoga and would love to get back on board!
Tracy says
Just saw their site. A yoga block and a yoga strap look very interesting to me as well as a definite need.
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
i’d be interested in trying out their yoga strap to help me transport my yoga mat to and from classes.
allison says
My current yoga mat is great, but a little shot. I’d love to try this one out!
allison says

Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
i tweeted!

I would love a new yoga mat, as mine, sadly, looks very much like yours!! I’ve had it a very long time, and it torn up – and my puppy also enjoys “practicing yoga” on it as well…
Meg @ My Chocolate Covered Life says
I would love this to up my yoga-motivation. I also do ab and muscle work with my current mat, which is flimsy and not comfortable, and would love to have a cushier and cuter mat.
Kristen B says
Also interested in the “synergy” mat on the website, would be great for hot yoga!
Alyssa @ Life of bLyss says
and I want that suhweet microfiber towel!
Laura says
I go to yoga classes on a semi regular basis but haven’t bit the bullet to buy a mat yet. Usually I have to borrow the stinky ones that the gym provides for those that don’t have one. In addition to using it for yoga, it’s a goal of mine to stretch more this year (I am terrible at making time to stretch!) and I would love to have this for my apartment to do some simple stretches on. Great giveaway!
alex says
the organic mat wash seems beneficial!
Linda says
This is next on my list of things to do on my healthy journey. I am working the meditation and now feel I am ready to do yoga. This would be mu sign! YAY!
Monica says
I’m interest to win because I’m new at yoga classes :) and I don’t still have a yoga mat.
Kaelin says
Wow! My “yoga” mat looks just like your pink one! It gets beat up pretty regularly with all of the mountain climbers, burpees, etc that I do everyday. Not a lot of relaxin’ happening with my mat. I guess it’s time for a new one!
Megan says
I’ve wanted a yoga mat for so long! I’ve never had the opportunity to practice but I’d really like to start, I so need this mat in my life :D
Meg @ My Chocolate Covered Life says
I would love to get a yoga strap, too – my hamstrings and quads and IT band need it!
Kalynn says
Like you, I always say I’m going to incorporate more yoga into my fitness routine and I never do! I know it will help me in my running and preventing injuries, so I really need to do it more often!
Kaelin says
I have seen their mat+towel on other blogs and think that sounds brilliant! I would love to try that out too!
Julia says
I would love to finally have my own yoga mat! every time i go i have to use the studios….and its been years of using the communal ones
Angela T. says
I NEED a new yoga mat. My last yoga mat was in the trunk of my car – sold my car and forgot to take my yoga mat out first! I’ve been using the yucky ones at the gym, so I need a new one ASAP!
Alycia says
I so love and need that mat! I’m currently practicing using a beach towel. Let me tell ya, that just isn’t working out so well for me! I slip and slide all over the place, not to mention the fuzzies that end up all over me.
Kelley says
I’d love to get a new yoga mat!
My current mat is pretty old and it’s a bit too short for me. At 5’11” I could definitely use a longer mat, like this one!
Alycia says
The sweat towel is awesome also, I’d have to throw that in my cart!
Kelley says
I tweeted about the giveaway, too! Thanks!
Kelly says
Oh my gosh, I have been having back problems and am supposed to do yoga exercises to feel better…and nothing motivates me more than something pretty! Love this.
Cassie says
Just started incorporating yoga into my workout routine and am loving it! I especially love it right after a high intensity workout. I NEED this! :))
Marie says
I love the colors of this mat; they’re my favorite shades! I use my mat very time I workout, for yoga, BodyRock workouts, ab workouts, and stretching. I would love to replace my current one.
Katherine @ the kats meow says
I have picked yoga back up and need a new mat to keep me motivated!

My current yoga mat is pretty old and I’d like the extra length since I’m tall!

i need this because my old mat is really ratty
Kalynn says
I tweeted about the giveaway! (@kalynn5)
Kristina says
I need it in my life because my husband needs one and said he would actually try yoga with me! :D
Lauren says
How funny that you are giving this away today…I just completed my first hot yoga class this morning and was thinking how badly I needed to get my own yoga mat because a) I loved the class!! and b) the one I rented smelled so bad!
Karleen says
I so need to add more yoga into my life. I used to work at a gym a couple years ago and a member gave me their old mat when they bought a new one. It’s still sits in my car to this day but I rarely pull it out even though I should!! I have very tight hip flexors which has created slight hip strain and ankle pain on my inflexible side. ugh but hopefully a new, pretty yoga mat will get my butt to more yoga classes! Lord knows I need it!
Marie says
The denim yoga bags look awesome as well!
Emily L says
I need this yoga mat because mine currently looks like your old one PINK and Gross haha <3
Andrea says
I would love to win the yoga mat because I would actually give yoga another shot, it’s been far too long and as someone that danced for 13 years I know how important streaching is for the body!
Cristin says
Oh my goodness! That mat is beautiful! I need to incorporate yoga into my routine. There are so many benefits….if I had a mat like that, I’d have no excuse!
Christine says
I am just getting into yoga, and this mat is just awesome! Love the colors!!!
Stacey says
I do several classes at my gym where we need a yoga mat (Barre class, yoga, pilates) and mine has definitely seen better days!
Lauren says
Just checked out the website and after class this morning and seeing how sweaty and gross it got in there, I think I would like to try out the mat wash, just to make sure it really is clean from bacteria and such!
Karleen says
The Aurorae denim yoga bags are sooo cute! What a great idea!
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
I need a yoga mat in my life because I’ve never had one before. My sister and I have been wanting to do roof top yoga at Whole Foods but were never able to because I don’t have a mat. This would be perfect! :)
LaULauren says
My mat is so old and weathered! The mat you got looks perfect!
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
I went on Aurorae’s website and I would love to try their Northern Light Yoga Mat in purple. It’s so pretty!
Caitlin @ This Bride's Joyride says
I neeeeeed this yoga mat in my life! For one, I need to do more yoga and I know this mat will motivate me. For another my old yoga mat is currently sitting under my indoor bike trainer for sound proofing so using in a yoga class would be difficult :)
Casey@Daily Dose of FIT says
Yoga is a huge part of my life and that Yoga mat is so darn pretty! I would love to also try out their towels. I am a hot sweaty mess during yoga and need a good sweat absorber! I tweeted too!
Lauren says
I need this yoga mat because my old one is looking quite a bit like yours (except purple)!
Lauren says
I checked out the website and I could definitely use a strap. I’m a runner with naturally tight hips and a strap would come in handy every now and then!
Taylor says
I have been VERY tempted to try yoga at my local gym, but using their mats gives me the heebie jeebies…if I had my own mat, I guess I wouldn’t have an excuse not to go anymore!
Kellie says
Every time I take yoga at the gym I cringe about using the community mats, but I can’t justify spending the money on a mat when they are there for our use for free. Yet, I cringe thinking about the germs on my body after a session.
Stevi says
I need this yoga mat because mine is in a very sad state, it doesn’t ever unroll float, it has knicks in it and all sorts of scuffs.
Lena @Fit on the Rocks says
I would love this mat because I don’t even own one. Am I allowed to even say that on here? lol
Cassie says
I desperately need a new yoga mat! Mine has been used inside (with the animals practicing yoga as well!), outside…gym, studios, camping…everything and anything….and i dont really clean it :/
=)
AEWarner says
I just bought a membership for hot yoga!
Sarah Griffis says
I would love to give this to my boyfriend! He plays soccer and is super inflexible, but I’ve gotten him to start doing yoga with me…and he loves it! He needs a mat of his own now!
Sarah J. says
I would love a nice yoga mat like the Aurorae to do Bethenny Frankel’s yoga DVD and the P90x yoga session! Great giveaway :)
Annie says
I’ve been using my cheap yoga mat since four years ago, and now it has a bunch of marks in it. I would love to have this yoga mat for my morning yoga sessions!
Cassie says
After looking at Aurorae’s website, I would be very interested in the yoga strap! It seems like a great way to stretch out tight muscles!
Lindsay @ Fuel My Family says
My yoga mat looks about like your old one. And its a cheap one i bought a while back and its weirdly thick and spongy. I would love a new one!
Anu says
my current yoga mat is sooo old, it’s in desperate need of updating!
Jamie says
I need this yoga mat because I live in a small hard wood floor apt in NYC and I need a nice soft roll up mat for when I want to stretch or do yoga at home!
Beth says
I need this yoga mat because my current yoga mat resembles your old one!
Kate says
I have just started enjoying yoga in the evenings after a stressful day at work. I’ve been doing some research on mats but don’t own one as of yet. I’d love to try this one out and hopefully enjoy yoga more often!
gabriella says
Since I’ve been training for a marathon for the past four months, yoga fell by the wayside, but after experiencing some calf/shin discomfort it’s come back into my life at least once a week, maybe twice until the marathon. I would love this mat to help my practice, my current mat is old, falling apart, and doesn’t support my knees as I would like.
Patty says
I need that yoga mat because of how calming it is just to look at. The mat I currently have is a mess. Its got chunks out of it and its stained; not very relaxing to do yoga on.
Kara says
I would love a yoga mat that looks as pretty as yoga makes me feel. That mat is beautiful!
Natasha says
I am super motivated to bring yoga into my life, but currently I don’t have an awesome yoga mat like this that would help me reach my fitness goals! So please help me bring yoga and the mat into my life!
Amanda says
I would love to have this yoga mat in my life because then maybe I would do more yoga :)
Daniella says
Because my yoga mat is beat and needs a replacement badly.
Sue says
Maybe if I had a nice yoga mat, I may actually be inspired to do yoga, because right now, my shag rug is not inspiring and not comfy enough to do it on!
Love your blog, by the way! I’ve never commented, so had to add that! :)
Socal Rachel says
I decided to do a little yoga last night after taking months off. This yoga mat would motivate me to get more yoga back in my life.
Daniella says
From the site, I would buy the northern lights mat, it is out of this world!
Tori K says
I need this mat because also like you, I enjoy yoga but need to incorporate it much more! If only I had some supplies to help me out… : )
Daniella says
I tweeted, which by the way sounds disgusting.
Natasha says
After looking through the website at all of the Aurorae products, I would also like to try the Aurorae Yoga Sport Sweat Towel to have by my side when doing yoga! This towel seems awesome to have and useful!
Tiffani says
I would love to try this yoga mat since I just recently started bikram yoga again and have been looking for a thicker mat for extra padding
Kathryn S says
I have been having really bad sciatica for about 6months now. I finally started attending yoga on a regular basis and I’m feeling much better. I seem to be too busy to find the time to buy a new yoga mat. Mine is 3 years old
Ashley h says
My yoga mat is several years old. I’m completely clueless about yoga, but try to get a session in once a week. My old pink one is looking kinda like yours!

I need this yoga mat because I need to start forcing myself to incorporate yoga into my workouts! I could definitely use the added flexibility!

melanie says
I am 5’9″ and have the same troubles with mat lengths. This sounds like a good one!
Nicole S says
I would love this mat because I practice yoga frequently and my boyfriend leaves every summer to be a fishing guide in Alaska, so it would remind me of him!
Nicole S says
I would like to try their yoga blocks – I always need/use these when I practice at a studio, but use books and other objects at home because I’ve been lazy and haven’t bought some.
Aimee M says
My yoga mat is so thin, it’s pretty much useless. Love the Aurorae mat!
melanie says
I’d also like to try the slip-free rosin bags- I tend to slide around once I begin to sweat!
Ashley W says
I would love a new yoga mat! I’m embarrassed to admit it, but the one I’ve been using came free with a dvd I bought. The mat is so thin it’s like doing yoga directly on the floor.
Brianne says
After seeing so many bloggers out there trying yoga and raving about it I want to try yoga and I think having a mat of my own would be better than using the ones provided at my gym.
Jessica says
Truthfully, (I’m ashamed to admit too) I need a new yoga mat because mine currently looks like your old one…but worse (yes, I’m ashamed).

Ashley W says
I would love to try the Aururae Yoga strap to intensify my stretches.
michelle kim says

Kay says

Katie @ running4cupcakes says
This mat would finally give me the boost to go to the new yoga studio in town and try a class!
alexis says
i take yoga so i need a new one

Briana says
I am also interested in the yoga block for certain poses!

I need a new yoga mat so I can practice yoga at home now that my gym changed the class schedule and moved yoga to a time that doesn’t work with my schedule :(
Melissa says
I have had the same yoga mat for 13 years (!!!). It’s not in terrible shape, but I could definitely use an upgrade. Plus–it’s pretty!!! :)
Melissa says
I could actually really use some mat wash. I always think about it, but then just pretend that my mat isn’t as gross as it actually is. ;)
Melissa says
Tweeted!
Ginny says
I would love to win this yoga mat! My current one looks a lot like your old one and every time I take it out my cats think its either their bed or a scratching toy. If I won a new one they can have the old one and I’ll have one all to myself :)

Loved the website! I would love to get a value props set, it’s an awesome deal!

Entry 2: I want to try one of their yoga blocks…I sometimes use the blocks in class, but the gym’s blocks are kinda sub-par, plus I’d rather have my own (less germy germs).
Danica @ It's Progression says
A new yoga mat would definitely help with my motivation to practice more often, and I love that it comes with mat cleaner…besides, my current yoga mat looks a little too similar to your old one, no offense : )
Maggie says
I need this in my life because I just started doing yoga regularly two weeks ago and the habit would probably stick around longer with this cute yoga mat :D

I am super sore from LiveFit and need some yoga in my life! If I had this mat it’d be a great motivator to hit up yoga at my gym. :)

Another product of theirs that I would like to have is the yoga block because a lot of the poses we do use those!
Danica @ It's Progression says

The spray cleaner is a MUST!!

Lara F. says
I’d love the yoga strap!

Tessa says
I would love this yoga mat because I have recently started doing hot yoga twice a week, and am obsessed!
Erin says
I’m a runner and I know it would be good for my tight muscles to do yoga but I just haven’t taken the time – this might be the motivation I need!
Romana says
I will be driving across country soon to begin my first year of medical school, and nothing would make me happier than a brand new mat so I can still keep up with pilates and yoga, and have a way to de-stress!
Erin says
The value props package looks really helpful!
Jessica says
I would lvoe to win this yoga mat because I am pretty sure it would be just the motivation I would need to start practicing yoga more!

And I tweeted too =)
Alyssa @ Don't Look Down says
I need this yoga mat because my current one looks like your pink one. I do not understand why my toes keep shredding it.
Marisa says
High intensity exercises leave my muscles very sore for the following few days. I love practicing yoga to relieve this soreness and relax me! A new yoga mat could come in handy for that:)
Karen says
I absolutely love Yoga and I need a new mat so badly.
Stephanie Walter says
I am now 4 months pregnant and need to start incorporating yoga into my life, so this mat would be perfect for that! Also, I am on the taller side so I would love the longer mat!!
Kirsten says
I have also been trying to bring yoga back into my life. Unfortunately my yoga mat look a lot like your old one! Busting out poses on carpet and tile just won’t cut it anymore.
Jen says
I need a new yoga mat so I can start doing some yoga & stretch out my back!
Brigitt says
I tweeted about the giveaway! Thanks :)
Cindy O. says
I need this yoga mat bc my mat looks exactly like yours! Yup–not pretty!

Megan S. says
I checked out the site and would love to try out a yoga block!
K Brady says
I love the style of the mat — especially because I live in Alaska, where we get to see the Northern Lights. The bright colors in the mat might provide a little extra motivation to get moving in the long, dark winters!
Emily says
I started working out again a couple months ago but I am so not flexible! I would love to do yoga to work on my flexibility and core strength!
Megan S. says
I tweeted about the giva-a-way! (@mnstengel)
Aska says
I would love to win this yoga mat! I need it in my life because I’ve recently grown to love and appreciate yoga and practice it at least four times a week. I used to be a self-proclaimed cardio queen but due to an illness I had to switch to a less intense workout. I love that the mat comes with a cleaner! Thanks for the opportunity!
Jordan K says
I need this yoga mat cause I’ve been “borrowing” my Mom’s mat for the past 6 months or so! Whoops! I think she’d probably like her mat back! ;-)
elizabeth | notes, quotes & anecdotes says
what a beautiful mat! i need one because i’ve never had a mat of my own before!
Corinne says
Ah! Loving all the giveaways lately :-)
I could totally use this Aurorae mat- I’m a college Yogi and definitely on a budget. While I love practicing yoga, buying a new mat as frequently as I should just doesn’t seem worth the money sometimes (my current one looks something like yours :-/ hah) . Having a new mat would totally inspire me to amp up my at-home practice.
Erica says
Oooh! I am in dire need of increasing my flexibility!
This would be a definite motivation!!!
Katherine says
Yoga is so relaxing!
Mmary says
I need this because I just started doing yoga but I don’t have special yoga mat yet!

Nescett @ bananaoats says
I sent a tweet! :)
Meagan says
I would love this yoga mat, because my mat looks exactly like yours (same mat, color, design!). From doing hot yoga and athlete’s yoga it is destroyed! This mat looks awesome and I would definitely like to try it. I would also like to try their mat spray; I am always looking for a new fun scented spray!
Jackie says
I have been looking into doing Yoga for awhile now and was always a little intimidated to start but a new mat will give me the little extra push to start.
Kenzie says
I would LOVE to have a new yoga matt in my life. I love that this one is longer in length and that it is thicker. Mine is about two years old and I could definitely use a new one. I use to be faithful at attending yoga classes and now only do it as often as time allows, but a new mat would be very motivating :)
meg says
I am still relatively new to yoga and pilates so I have yet to find a mat that I truly love. My current one leaves my bones and joints feeling bruised – I don’t think it’s the best option for me and I’d love to try the Aurorae as it sounds much better for my needs!
Ellyn says
I would love a new yoga mat for my Tuesday night power yoga class! I love the design of this mat and it would be nice to have one that isn’t too short!
meg says
I’d also like to try out the strap that Aurorae has on the website.

I need this amazing mat b/c mine is pretty sad looking and a new mat would give me motivation to practice yoga consistently!

laura. S says
I would love a new yoga mat as mine looks worse than your old mat.

I’m tall too so the long mat seems ideal!
Talia @ Bite Size Wellness says

Alli says
The mat is so cute..i love it!! I would really love the length of it also!
Catherine says
one of the reasons I don’t practice yoga as much is because I don’t have a mat! The ones i’ve owned in the past either are not “cushy” enough and don’t offer enough support and comfort, or they’re super slippery! I’d love to try this!
Katherine M. says
My yoga mat is embarrassing haha. I would love a new one! Plus I just bought a groupon to try out a new yoga studio in the area so I will be getting a lot of good use out of it!

Alyssa says
Wow what a gorgeous mat! I definitely NEED it! I currently have a mat that is such a disappointment. It’s so thin and sticky, not sure why but i hate using it and actually prefer the gym mats even though they are also very cheap. It would be great to have one that doesn’t stick to me and provides some support.
Megan says
i got a gift card for valentines day for ten hot yoga sessions and am lacking motivation! Also! My mat (from target) looks exactly like yours! I need a new one something fierce!
Renee says
I’d love to win this beautiful yoga mat! My mat that I’m currently using is not designed for yoga, it is kind of like a foam mat. It does not have the sticky surface or the adequate padding. So I probably need this ;)

Ahhh a thick yoga mat is the stuff dreams are made of! I definitely need that thickness in my life. What an awesome giveaway!
Kalyn says
I was initially also interested in the yoga strap since mine has gotten a ton of use over the years and is actually extremely long, but since I don’t currently own a yoga block, I think that is the other product that actually interests me the most.
Kellie says
My children have decided that my yoga mat is fun to do crafts on. Unfortunately there is now paint and glue all over it. A new mat would be great.

I started doing hot yoga about a month ago and am totally addicted!! My mat was a $9 one from Wal-Mart and it’s just not cutting it anymore. I would also be interested in checking out the non-slip yoga mat/ towel on the Aurorae site!

“Yoga is the fountain of youth. You’re only as young as your spine is flexible.” – Bob Harper (from The Biggest Loser)
I am 19 years old. I exercise and try to eat healthy every day. I would consider myself to be an energetic, active, outgoing young woman. After reading this quote, I realized I might not be as young as I thought…my spine is not at all flexible as it should be haha. The cure must be yoga! I would love to have this mat to help me become a better yogi and help me stay close to the fountain of youth for as long as possible haha :)
Lea says
I need this yoga mat in my life because my current one is from wal-mart and it sucks. Sorry wal-mart.
Marissa says
I need this yoga mat in my life ASAP because…I have a hot pink yoga mat that looks pretty similar to the one that you just tossed! After yoga I am always picking off bits of my yoga mat that are stuck to my yoga pants!!
Marissa says
The product that I would like to try from Aurorae would be their sweat towel. It looks super plush!!
Alyssa Travis says
unfortunately I don’t have a twitter, but I love yoga! I started it because I have always been very top heavy in the boobie department. I never believed in having anything medically done to yourself, so I have started yoga as a means to strengthen my back and love my body more. I bought a package of yoga classes and it would be nice NOT to use mats that other people’s sweaty parts have been on. lol. So I would love this mat because it would help me to continue my journey toward more self love! :)
Thanks! Love your Blog!
kelsey8 says

Unfortunately the “yoga” mat that I’m using now is an old pilates mat from college so I could desperately use a new one and this mat looks fantastic! Great giveaway Courtney!
