stirrup socks - the legwarmer evolved

i'm not quite sure why baseball players wear stirrups, but it makes complete sense why a yogi would rock strappy versions of a sock.  you see, we need need the grip of our tooties and our bare heels as we get grounded in postures, but sometimes our ankles can get chilly.  i find stirrup socks even better than legwarmers because they stay put better and keep more of my foot (not just my leg) warm.  here are a few fun and noteworthy ones i stumbled upon:

these come in grey/black and are described a plush (not quite sure what that means...).

on sale for $26.60 from shopstyle.com (reg. $38.00)

although super cute, this site only sells the pattern, but maybe it's worth a try. how many knitted hats do you really need anyway?

ok, maybe i was saving the best bargain for last.  this shimmery pair is available at dsw.com and they're made by jessica simpson (i know, i was pleasantly surprised too!).

bundle up bargains

it officially feels like winter in nyc with the wind chill making it single digit chilly.  so obviously blankets during at the end of yoga class (savasana) are pretty much a requirement.  even during a home practice, it's important to keep your body warm during savasana, when it tends to drop as your body stills and cools.

here are a couple options on the cheap that you can also cozy up with if you are practicing couchasana:

theyogawarehouse.com offers a variety of blanket options, with their 'standard yoga blanket' on sale for $11.95.

rollingsandharmony.com has 'mat size mexican yoga blankets' on sale for $8.78, oley!

i haven't tested these blankets out, so just keep in mind that you might have to double up if you're using these for props, but if you're just looking for some warmth, these budget friendly blankies are a safe bet.

resolve to be more adventurous... and frugal (exclusive yoga deal - $100 off)
