the mats arriveThe mats have finally arrived! After about 7 months of planning, waiting, and occasional hand-wringing, four pallets of super awesome TPE eco yoga mats for kids have made the long journey from Fuzhou, China to Boston, Massachusetts. And apart from a few mats that are slightly flattened (watch this space for news about buying seconds!), the mats look absolutely fabulous! Lotuspad should officially launch on Monday, July 30th.

Early market research has been overwhelmingly positive. My 22-month-old nephew who modeled the mats has become very attached to his yoga mat, and now loves doing nascent yoga poses (or proto-yoga might be a better term) on it, even though he has never been exposed to the practice before. (I love that he is just naturally making a yoga mudra with his right hand in this picture – it confirms my belief that yoga comes naturally to children!) The other models for some upcoming pictures have also been very excited about the mats, and these are kids who have been taking yoga classes for a while. I have heard from their parents that there have been some serious claims laid to the individual yoga mats.

I have started this blog to share what I learn about kids / childrens yoga and about happenings and products of interest to the yoga community. I think it should be a fun journey - the world is a very large and fascinating place, and I have found through my seven years of practicing yoga that it is connected to much of what is interesting and beautiful in our world.

Thanks for visiting!

That's it. What Next?
