Flexible Benefits

While yoga is a centuries-old practice, your equipment needn't look ancient. Here, a few of my must-have accessories to make finding the path to inner peace a little bit prettier:

Gaiam Damask Yoga Mat in Purple (at right) has just the right thickness and traction, whether you're in tara asana or down dog.

Figure-flattering Lululemon Groove Pants show off a toned lower half and have enough stretch for warrior poses.

Havaianas' limited-edition peacock flip flops look chic for a post-class lunch (plus, I love the Indian-vibe).

A pendant from Satya will inspire and protect.

Like Febreeze for your mat, kulae organic yoga mat cleaner cleanses and refreshes.

Sleek and streamlined, the Wai Lana Orchid Tote bag won't slow you down on the subway.

When it comes to metallic high heels, Christian Louboutin Flatsmany women only think of evening shoes. It's understandable, given that gold, silver, pewter, and bronze are all great choices for making an entrance at a more formal event. But, if you love metallic shoes and tend to save Jimmy Choo Shoesthem only for special occasions, then you may want to rethink your strategy: metallic high heel sandalsJimmy Choo Boots can work as well for day wear as they do for evenings.
