Welcome Louise!

We are super happy to announce that Louise of  ‘Yoga with Louise Live Stream’ is joining us as a Brand Ambassador for Yoga Essentials (in fact we were doing extra Sun Salutations in the office this morning!), she is a great asset to our team.
Louise is a seasoned Yoga and Pilates teacher who teaches a fusion of Hatha, Kripalu, Vini and Vinyasa (infused with core Pilates principles). She has 25 years of experience on the Yoga mat. Louise is a firm believer that you must “play where you are”, finding what works best for you and never comparing yourself to anyone else as we are all unique. She encourages students to progress at their own pace, exploring their own boundaries, whilst honouring their own body’s need in each moment.

She admits to being a perpetual yoga student, who loves mindful movement and the physical and mental benefits that it brings!

Louise has an established online Live-Stream daily class service where students can participate in real time or simply catch up later (classes are available 24/7 to do in your own time). She is also available for private classes. You can find out more on her website Yoga With Louise

We will be featuring her with her own section on our Two Cats blog, where we will post news and updates, including product reviews.

We noticed a rather playful and sometimes ‘wicked’ sense of humour that Louise has, so you have been warned!

You can  find her on Facebook, Instagram (Ywl.live.stream), YouTube and Website at :

                    

So welcome Louise –  from all of us at Yoga Essentials and the Yogiverse!

The Yogiverse is a FREE service open to all Yoga studios and teachers (and yogi’s).

It’s ideal for hot yoga or if you have very sweaty hands.

So now that you know that the Ekolite is for you, why not go to Yoga Essentials and order one now?

 

The Manduka Prolite – it’s not a baby Pro

So now you know all about the Manduka Pro, it’s time to introduce you to the Prolite.

The Prolite is made from the same materials as the Pro,but is 4mm thick and still offers great support. The Prolite as the name suggest is much lighter than the Pro so it makes it ideal for mobile yogi’s and teachers.

I have been using my Prolite for nearly 3 years now and it has developed a very comfortable feel whilst still looking and behaving like a new mat. It’s actually quite embarrassing sometimes !

There is a lifetime warranty on the PRolite, the same as the Pro.

The Manduka mats reviewed here are available from Yoga Essentials and they will deliver to your door!
