yoga fashion for charity

yogis and yoginis for whom looking stylish is a way of life can now benefit charity with a new designer yoga bag and matching t-shirt. the limited-edition leather and canvas tote even carries your mat. proceeds go to the well-known charity, cancercare.

the bag's a collaboration in which yoga journal contributing editor, former model, and intense charity fundraiser christy turlington meets chic designer marc jacobs. the "christy bag" is available this fall only at neiman marcus and some stores that carry turlington's nuala line of yoga clothing. the bag's not cheap: expect to shell out $350 for this level of fabulousness -- but again, it's all for a good cause.

the more affordable $25 t-shirt can be purchased at nordstroms, saks fifth avenue, and marc jacob boutiques. it bears the marc jacobs and cancercare logos in black and red on a white background.

in more yoga news, those living in the up-and-coming fort greene nabe have long lacked yoga opportunities. as far as i know, the only place for yoga there is the occasional class at the mark morris dance studio near bam.

but yoga is coming -- yoga people is opening a second location at fulton and ashland above the deli sometime in the first week of november. it will offer ashtanga, vinyasa, and bikram-style yoga in a hot room. when i hear more, you'll be the first to know. . .
