The Yoga Design Lab Wheel is a great way to deepen your stretches and add an extra challenge to your practice. It can be used for backbends, chest openers, hip stretches, and more.

Yoga Design Lab Yoga Wheel 

The Yoga Design Lab Wheel is especially beneficial for people who are new to yoga and is also great for aiding in recovery from injuries because it allows you to work your muscles at your pace. Overall, the Yoga Design Lab Yoga Wheel is an excellent addition to any yoga practice, no matter your skill level.

The Yoga Design Lab Yoga Wheel makes poses more accessible and helps you achieve a better stretch. It's made from durable cork with a non-slip surface, so it's safe for use on any type of flooring and is slightly larger than a standard yoga wheel, making it more versatile and easier to use. The yoga wheel is also lightweight so you can easily take it with you from home to the studio and back.

Unlike most of our competition, our Cork Mat is made with a 100% natural rubber base layer topped with a renewable, sustainable cork top layer. While natural cork provides superior wet and dry grip, it is ideal in heated and hot yoga classes because as temperatures rise, cork begins to loosen and becomes softer &amp; easier to grip. It's also moisture-activated - becoming grippier as it gets wet. Truly nature's best solution for towel-free traction. Cork is also closed-cell and naturally anti-microbial, sealing out moisture &amp; resisting odor and bacteria from sweat. Our natural rubber base layer offers a unique springy ride that cushions and protects joints, while also remaining stable and supportive in any pose. Stays put on the floor better than foam base layers and provides denser cushioning. The stunning, symmetrical pattern helps guide alignment and is printed using a non-fade water-based ink. The foldable 1.5mm thickness option is excellent for yogis on the go, and also provides an excellent "non-slip" topper for other mats.

Utilize the Century Blast Master Shield to maximize your training potential. Increase the power of your attacks with shields & training bags from Century Martial Arts.

Utilize the Century Blast Master Shield to maximize your training potential.

Century Martial Arts Blast Master Shield 

Unlike regular kicking shields this is super dense so then if I strike it here then you notice then it will go in a little bit but because of the little air holes here when you hit it it will let the air out so there’s a little bit of compression. You’ve got the side handles here. If you look at the construction, it’s the quality of the stitching grid here and the quality of materials that keeps it held together over time. There is a zipper here so this way, if you wanted to, you could foam switch out the vinyl or vice versa.

Typically the stitching starts to come out so the best thing is to get a product that’s going to withstand the test of time and the impact and abuse that you’re going to put on it. So it has what you need, it’s functional, great design and it will stand the test of time.

This is what, like, my good friend Master Chip Townsend who’s a world breaking champion, he’s the guy that you see on ESPN2 breaking 12,15 bricks at a time with jump spinning back kicks. He warms up on the Blast Master because nobody wants to hold the regular kicking shield for him
