EDITOR’S PICK

On the Road

After a recent adventure, I realised

which yogi goodies I just can’t live

without. These are on the top of

my packing list for any future

yogic explorations.

Coconut oil

Oh, sweet coconut oil! You can use it in food prep,

on your skin as a moisturiser or as lip balm, or for the

popular practice of oil pulling. And the health benefits

are endless.

Tongue scraper

This might seem a bit ‘extreme

yogi’ but I never leave home

for a night without my tongue

scraper. Since integrating this

Ayurvedic technique into my

morning hygiene routine, I

haven’t looked back. You can

buy them from most health

food stores or online at

http://www.empind.com.au, $9

Thermos – Sipp stainless

steel vacuum insulated flask

I’m seriously smitten with this

Thermos Flask. It’s lightweight

and easy to travel with, and

keeps liquid hot or cold for

hours. Perfect for preparing your

tea the night before an early start.

http://www.thermos.com.au, $44.99

Sarong

So many uses for the trusty

sarong. I use it as a wrap for

warmth, a picnic blanket, a towel,

a yoga mat and a pillow when

travelling.

Sahaja - Yoga Mats

I’m sure I’m not the only yoga teacher who has a pile

of yoga mats in the car ‘just in case’. So, of course,

the yoga mat is a travel essential. My favourite at

the moment are Sahaja eco-friendly mats - with fun,

colourful prints and a microfibre surface. They’re $127 at

http://www.sahajayogamats.com. They also have a Light Giving

program - which means they keep giving beyond the mat!

Stevia

I always carry a bottle of

stevia with me when I

travel, so I can skip the

sugar wherever I go. Grab

a bottle from your health

food shop — I always opt

for the powdered product.
