Saving The Beach One Day at a Time (and one mat at a time)!

We have had the pleasure of connecting with so many interesting people through this business and within the yoga community.  One of these people has struck a chord with us in particular, Kim Masoner, founder of www.savethebeach.org.  She initially amazed us with her tweets about beach clean up efforts but we were astounded by her most recent venture, helping the homeless.  Kim and her organization collect recycled plastic bags, usually grocery bags and dry cleaning bags, and has been crocheting them into mats for the homeless in her area.  What an amazing idea!  We have started a plastic bag collection here at Yoga With Style both in our homes and at our new boutique.  In addition, when Kim and I emailed each other, she mentioned wanting to be able to give the mats inside a bag that they use to keep the mat when not using it.  We are so happy to support Kim's efforts and for every yoga mat bag she has purchased, Yoga With Style has doubled her order as a donation.  These mat bags are an economical solution and weather resistant.  We pledge our support to Kim and her organization now and in the future and will continue to donate bags as her efforts grow. If you'd like to read about Kim and her efforts her are links to her site and to photos and the story which appeared on twitter about the mats she creates: Site: http://www.saveourbeach.org/  Mats: http://yfrog.com/5tynyaj

Thanks Kim for making the world a better place, one cleanup and one mat at a time.
We all can make a difference!
