Me, so blissed out on textiles in Mysore, India 2018. |
First posted this in 2012. Here's the updated version. Happy practicing!
You should ALWAYS support your Shala and buy a rug locally.
If they don't carry something you want, just ask. They will probably be happy to order one for you. It might take a little longer and cost a little more than going online, but you are contributing to the community. This is a big deal. If you carry rugs at your shala and would like to be listed, email eliseashtangayoga@ gmail.com. This is simply a small list of what is out there online. Through trial and error, you will find what you like. Also, some of these are affiliate links. While opinions are always my own, deciding to purchase through an affiliate link helps support this blog. Thanks!
