YTOC welcomes new Affiliate Member
|
| This Is Rosemary is the newest affiliate member to join Yoga Teachers of Colorado. We offer them a warm welcome and encourage all our members to check them out. 
This is Rosemary is a Colorado-based inventor and manufacturer of boutique bags and backpacks. They've been building and selling their backpack for young musicians since 1996. After one of their kids showed us how they used the backpack for yoga, it got them to thinking: "just how good a yoga mat bag could we build?"
They spent hours interviewing yogis, instructors and studio owners to find out what they liked, disliked and wanted in a yoga bag. The result is the Mala Yoga Duffle.
It's patent-pending mat storage and host of other features is like nothing else. Wanting to give back to the yoga community who gives so much to them (their daughter is a yoga instructor, and they all practice yoga), they have set up a referral program for yoga instructors allowing them to offer discounts to students while earning a referral fee. If you love it, use it and show it. It's that simple.
You can see pictures of their mat storage bag on their website at thisisrosemary.com

 Closing Thought"The spirits of the air live in the smells
Of fruit; and Joy, with pinions light, roves round
The gardens, or sits singing in the trees."
Thus sang the jolly Autumn as he sat,
Then rose, girded himself, and o'er the bleak
Hills fled from our sight; but left his golden load.
