Surfer Tia Blanco Shares Her Must Haves: From an Amazon Yoga Mat to Sea Kelp Moisturizer

Blanco tries to get on her Ewedoos Eco-Friendly Yoga Mat ($25) "every single morning," she says. "I always feel like a better version of myself after I practice yoga. I love this mat because it's not only affordable but also has amazing grip so that I can push myself in the poses." This mat is made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), which is considered more eco-friendly than other rubber alternatives because it consumes less energy during production and can often be recycled. The center line serves as an alignment marker to help you check your form on every pose.

Pro Tip: "In surfing, I'm always paddling forward with my arms, so I've found that heart openers are very important for me. For example, I always make sure I incorporate backbends like Camel Pose and standing poses like Dancer's Pose. Also, my hip flexors tend to tighten up after I surf for a long period of time, so I try to get into Pigeon Pose as often as possible."
