When the dog bites when the bee stings, when we’re feeling sad, we simply giveaway our favorite things! Are you feeling festive? In continuing our Happy Yogidays on YD we have for you another reason to cheer.
WIN: Choose anything, yes anything you like from prana.com. Your favorite thing! (courtesy of the folks at prAna.)
TO ENTER: Almost everyone’s familiar with Maria’s ditty about “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music. We’d love to hear your own addition, a line or two (a couplet works better if you’re going for the rhyme) about your favorite things. Use a line from the song as a kickoff point, or go wild on your own. Like our other giveaways this is completely subjective and you can add in whatever you like!
Three ways to enter:
1. Post in the comments here.
2. Tweet @yogadork & @prAnaLIFE.
3. Post on yogadork and/or prAna facebook pages.
We’ll start you off…
Mint flavored mochas and hot toddy sipping
Candlelit yoga and fluffy vegan whipping…cream! (wha?)
Entries open until noon, Thursday, December 22nd. A winner will be chosen at random and announced soon after. Good luck!
UPDATE: And the winner is, Cameo! Congrats! Thanks to who all who entered. This was so much fun! And one of our favorite things.

and no longer will I fret!
I really like this one! It’s quite clever!
Thank you ♥
One liter bottle spiced with citrus and sugar
Two great big towels to soak up the odor
Hot sweaty rooms full of bikram yoginis
One shouting lady in front of the mirrors
When we lock the knee
When we push beyond
When we nearly faint
We just keep on going in our tiny shorts
and everything will be… just fine 🙂
Two sweet Pugs and bowls of oatmeal
Yoga mats and sweat pants and Half-moon pose
Nights spent curled up cozy inside

The starbucks barista during winter’s my hero,
Why I put up with the seasonal sting?
Only with help from my favorite things.
While my face thaws,
While my boots dry,
While the frostbite heals,
I sip on my latte and take a deep breath,
And then I don’t feeeeeeeel so baaaaaaaaad!

Moving through asanas, my prana is seething,

Stretched out in poses,
and leading with my noses,
finding balance with great strength
so that my body finds new length!
When my hip aches
When my feet hurt
When I’m feeling stressed
I simply go into my pigeon pose
It feels like an hour of rest….
a good nights sleep, kisses and hugs from my daughter, the twinkle in my husband’s eyes, moments of pause coupled with sun streaming in from the windows, the grace I regain each time I practice yoga
Hazel-nut chocolates and hot yoga classes, family and holidays and fun dancing classes, these are a few of my favorite things!
heavy snow blankets that make the nighttime glow,
timed upside down poses to help my edge grow!
Sweat drops on sticky mats and nice open hips
breathable fabrics and alignment tips
Opening my heart like it might have wings
These are a few of my favorite yoga things!
Kissing my kitty and bumping our noses,
Sweet kitty whiskers in my yoga poses,
Finding his fur rolled in my yoga mat,
How I love Potter my own yoga cat!
