Hi Michele, I just visited the web site, and browsed around. I didn’t want to leave!
The mats are so beautiful, but I have to say my favorites are 1) Fish Wish.. the colours on it are wonderful, and for me actually makes me feel full of energy!
2) (The runner up) is Cosmic Breath, it’s so peaceful to me, and just carries what Yoga is to me.
I haven’t done yoga in a very long time, but this looks like the way to get back to it!

What do I like about what it says in Stacy’s about page… I think it would be faster and simpler to answer what don’t I like. To chose the main point for me, it would have to be that she has tried both the weight/carido road, as well as the yoga way of life, and found yoga more to her liking. She obviously knows what works for a healthy body, as well as what makes mind and spirit work together!

Michele,
I have shared this amazing contest with my friends on Plurk. I was hesitant to do it, since it only increases my competition on this one lol

My favorite is definitely the “go with the flow turtle mat”. I would use it for yoga. I have gotten out of yoga, but would love the inspiration to get back into it. Thanks for the chance to win a beautiful yoga mat!!!

[Reply]

1. I like Flower Power Mat! I would love to use that for my daily yoga/pilates sessions in AM.

[Reply]

2. I’d love to try Yoga Body Total Body Workout! (The same one that you posted reviews on). The reasons for this is because I like workouts that incorporate different muscle groups. I feel so energized with all my body worked out!!!

[Reply]

I like the Chakra mat and the one that says ‘Breathe.’ I have been getting back into yoga after a several year hiatus…I am using my Rodney Yee a.m. yoga video and yoga mat from about 10 years ago. I learned on the bolder website about heavy metals in yoga mats….who knew? I wonder now if mine has it…thanks for the contest!

[Reply]

My favorite would have to the the “Go With the Flow Turtle”. I love the blues. Very peaceful and serene. My second favorite would be “Flower Power”. I plan to use it to start up with yoga. I did it once, years ago. I have started working out again and I need something to seriously stretch my muscles. I always feel so tight.

[Reply]

I have to say that I LOVE the Cosmic Breath Mat and the Go With the Flow Turtle Mat…both so soothing and beautiful! I have actually just started to get into yoga and have been practicing on my own with youtube videos. I love how empowered it makes me feel. We don’t need weights or fancy machines: our body is the only tool we need!

[Reply]

Michele,
Thanks for the fun opportunity! I love the Go with the flow turtle mat — it is gorgeous! I practice yoga via DVDs at home 2-3 times / week, in addition to my running program. I love the peace I gain from yoga… and the toned muscles and core don’t hurt either.

I love the flower power mat – but they are all beautiful! I would love to use it for my home practice as well as other yoga classes I attend.
.-= Ashley´s last blog ..You spin me right round baby… =-.

[Reply]

I think the Yoga Body Lean & Defined Total Body Workout sounds the most appealing to me! I like that it’s total body, rather than focusing on one specific part. I like to feel well rounded.
.-= Ashley´s last blog ..You spin me right round baby… =-.

[Reply]

I am trying to get more into yoga. The mats on the Boulder Mat site – I especially liked the Fish Wish mat. Stacy seemed really interesting. I might give her DVD’s a chance!

just poked around, looking at mats (waaaay better than looking at work!) and i love the go with the flow turtle mat. I feel as though having that little guy at the bottom of my mat would be a reminder to take it easy and just relax. I’ve recently decided to get back to yoga- carve out time for it and shell out some hard earned money to buy myself a class pass. I need that time for myself.

[Reply]

after checking stacey’s website, i’ve decided she has the best domain name ever!
but seriously, i loved the part about how she used to do sports that required her to blast her music to distract her (horrible paraphrasing, i know) and then found yoga. I love that- far too often i remove myself from a run by blaring the music and that doesn’t really accomplish the “me” time I crave!
Would l.o.v.e. to try her total body yoga!

[Reply]

I just tweeted and to echo Paula’s comment, I was afraid of making my competition greater!

My fave is the Cosmic Breath Mat. I would use it for yoga which I have been practicing for 6 months now.

I love the flower power mat. The companies philosophy is right on target with my thinking and the flower power mat seems calming and energizing all at the same time. I also love the color purple!

i love the Peace Prayer Yoga Mat

OMG this contest is right up my alley. First, I am raw foodie, secondly I am a yoga teacher, and thirdly I have a raw food/yoga blog and the past 2 days have done 2 huge posts about raw (green) juicing. See here
http://loveveggiesandyoga.blogspot.com/2009/08/love-at-first-juice.html

and

http://loveveggiesandyoga.blogspot.com/2009/08/bring-on-juice.html

I know Stacy personally, she is an exceptional human being. I used to practice with her multiple times per week and just recently saw her at the W hotel for an outdoor practice. I love the way she helps all levels of students go within themselves and not compare to others in the room.

And I dig the pink/red 7th chakra heaven yoga mat. I am an experienced yogi (ashtanga) and a teacher and would use it for my practice. It would brighten my day!

So that’s 3 entries (blog link, stacy’s site, this site comment)

Michele, I am tickled that you are so loving yoga! I’m sure you’ll experience healing on so many levels. I love this contest. If I win, I’ll choose the “Prayer Peace” mat. I love the message, even if I don’t read Sanskrit….

Hi! If I won I would choose the turtle mat because I like the blue colour and because I really like what the symbols mean and what the turtle represents in relation to yoga because I would use the mat for my yoga practice. Thank you!

[Reply]

Hi! If I won I would like to donate the DVD to the runner up, because I already have one. Stacy is just lovely and I really love and recommend her Yoga Fat Burning Workout DVD too. Thank you!

[Reply]

I love the Cosmic Breath mat. It will remind me to “breathe” everytime I am in downward dog!

[Reply]

#2…Seventh Chakra Heaven mat…it’s enlightening!

[Reply]

Stacy McCarthy is a great Yogi. I had the pleasure of taking classes from her for a few years and loved them.

[Reply]

Beautiful mats – but I’m definitely a “Go with the flow turtle yoga mat” preson. I am new to yoga/pilates but would love to try the video and have been eyeing a local class!

Wow, these are gorgeous! It would be verrrrry hard to choose just one. But, I think I’m partial to the blue Go With The Flow Turtle for my daily yoga practice. I had to conquer many demons to get myself into a yoga class this winter. Now, I’m hooked. My mantra: Just Be On Your Mat.

[Reply]

“…I was distracted as I judged myself in the mirror. Then I found yoga.”

Really resonated with that on Stacy’s page! I had spent years and years judging that reflection in the mirror. When I finally mustered up enough courage to walk into my first yoga class and found a wall of mirrors, I almost turned tail and bolted right out the door. My mantra became “just be on your mat, just be on your mat, just be on your mat…”

My yoga practice has helped me come home to my body. I first had to learn compassion and non-judgment on my own mat before I could take that practice out into the world. Today, when I find myself slipping into old patterns and judging another’s looks, behavior or choices, I silently say my mantra, “just be on your mat”. Works every time!

I really like all the mats..each one speaks about a different part of life to me. It would be hard to chose one. The DVD is so peaceful. I think it would good for any level but very good for beginners because it sounds relaxing & peaceful which it something we want to keep in our hearts/mind/breath while practicing this life changing gift.

[Reply]

Before today, the last time I tried to do yoga a year ago, I cried, because I was too heavy to do the poses anymore, and didn’t have enough room in my living room to move my big body. Today I did 45 min. of yoga b/c I’m 90 lbs lighter. It felt great! I’d love to win Fish Wish, so I can keep swimming upstream against the stress.

[Reply]

Oh, and I Plurked about it, too. Did I mention I’m a Pisces, so the Fish Wish is perfect for Astrology Girl? http://www.plurk.com/plaidearthworm

Just tweeted about this awesome contest on Twitter! My Twitter handle is…wait for it….plaidearthworm.

Michele,

I’m a fairly active person and have been doing Yoga and Pilates for years and love it! I truly believe that it’s wonderful for total mind and body wellness.

I do not have any of Stacy McCarthy’s videos, but they look as though they would be a wonderful addition to my collection of DVDs and I would be so excited to win them! I was impressed with her long list of experience and credentials, and from the sample video on the homepage, you can see she is an advanced yoga instructor, which I really admire. Sometimes it’s hard to find a yoga video that is more than just beginner.

As for the mat, I really like the Cosmic Breath Mat. I like the colors and the flowing pattern of the design. It looks so relaxing to me – it would be a nice enhancement to any yoga or pilates routine!

Thank you so much for a great contest, Michele! I hope you are having an amazing day and weekend!

I love the go with the flow turtle mat I plan to use it for yoga and possibly pilates! I am in dire need of a new one, as mine has begun to get slippery due to not using cleaner. Oops!!
Thanks so much for the contest too!!!

All of Stacy’s products look wonderful, but I love the thought of a fat-burning yoga workout, since I still have a few more pounds to lose. Something like that would come in handy on a rainy day when I can’t do my walk!

You should get the pingback, but I thought I’d let you know I also mentioned you and the contest on my personal blog: http://plaidearthworm.livejournal.com/21207.html

[Reply]

I’m running a little behind on the contest (but that’s the story of my life lately!)…But I would looooove a new yoga mat! Mine has been used so much it is wearing in some places! I love the turtle yoga mat — sea turtles (and their nests) are my favorite part of visiting the beach. It’s also my “quiet place” which is a perfect setting for while I’m doing yoga

[Reply]

I wasn’t planning on adding a second comment, but I was reading through Stacy’s stuff anyway…I loved what she had to say about getting rid of mirrors and judging yourself. How do YOU feel about yourself?? That’s really what is important! Not how do you feel about how you look!

[Reply]

definitely the go with the flow turtle mat!!!! i haven’t done yoga or even tried meditating in years, and i really need it. my body is craving a moment of peace, and that moment should come from some yoga! i have never done any yoga dvds so I am not sure which one I would be most interested in?? Great contest, these mats look awesome.

Hiya Michele!

Of course you know this woman has to find a new and fun way to offer herself the all-important “me” time! Yoga would definitely do me good, especially early in the mornings while the children are still sleeping! I found that the “breathe” mat was beautiful and completely inviting!

[Reply]

I’ve also plurked! http://www.plurk.com/p/1mvgxm

Stacy McCarthy’s Yoga Body Lean & Defined Total Body Workout looks to be right up my alley! Who wouldn’t want a Yoga DVD by a woman with over TWENTY years in the health industry??!!

[Reply]

Well, I’ve tried for the last half-hour to add this to my Technorati favorites, but it won’t accept any favorites, it just goes back to the ‘you don’t have any favorites’ page. I think it has a glitch. Oh well, at least I managed six of the seven entries!
