From some of my other posts you know I am a yoga fan. Yoga is awesome for stretching out those sore muscles you get from sitting too long at a computer…not that I…do that or anything. :) But I ran into a yoga problem at my new house. The room I like to do yoga in (floor to ceiling windows all along one wall) has a hard wood laminate floor and when you do yoga on a rug or a yoga mat…you slip and slide and almost break your neck…or smack your head into the brick fireplace…neither of which is very fun or calming. Even the so-called “sticky” mats don’t often work….I have a few different mats. Bare feet on the floor doesn’t work either…darn that oil slick in my family room. ;)
Then I found a truly ingenious AND as luck would have it, eco friendly solution. They are called Yoga Stick-e Socks! Now I don’t need a rug or yoga mat anymore…these socks make it feel as if you are going barefoot but you don’t slip and slide. They feel like regular socks but they have a hole for each toe to extend through so the toes remain exposed. The exposed toes enable gripping during exercise.
With their soft-as-silk Bamboo fiber they provide a hygienic, non-slip, sweat-absorbing environment for all your barefoot exercise including Yoga, dance, Pilates, and Karate and they made form a sustainable and earth friendly material. They would be perfect for yoga classes to. Even if you bring a mat as it is nice to have something covering your feet while not sacrificing your ability to “stick” your poses. They come in black and beige and they very affordable in price. Check them out and with the holidays coming just around the corner think about any Yogis in your life that might like these!

How do you find these ingenious things. I love those Yoga-Stick-e-socks! I’m not doing Yoga…yet. But a few of my girlfriends are active into Yoga. I may have found some gifts! Thanks!

These look awesome! I always slide around on my yoga mat no matter what tricks I try. I’ve even soaked my mat in vinegar at the prompting of one yoga teacher to remove the slick coating. It didn’t work–it only made my bathtub smell of vinegar. These are great!

How neat! I’ve just started attending Yoga classes at the gym and wondered why I was walking barefoot on a floor and using equipment used by everyone. What a great solution! Thank you for participating in Fitness For Moms Carnival.

I totally agree that socks are sometimes necessary when doing yoga and/or pilates. I love wearing socks to my pilates sessions…I wear a different sock called TOESOX. They are a five toe sock with sticky bumps on the bottom – from the tip of the toe to the back of the heel. They provide excellent grip, super comfortable and provide COMPLETE protection against any germs out there on community mats, equipment etc. You mentioned that this Yoga-Stick-e sock is an eco friendly fiber, but I think the bamboo still needs to be processed in order to get it to the yarn stage. The ToeSox are 90% ORGANIC cotton and 10% spandex. I prefer natural fibers that breathe – especially when my feet get hot and sweaty. Check them out at http://www.toesox.com.
I personnally LOVE the non slip Crescent Moon Exersocks. Check them out at http://www.crescentmoonyoga.com!
