From The Heart
A friend gave me the Manduka Black Mat Pro about 8 years ago, and it has been my favorite mat ever since. My Manduka supports my practice from the ground-up, which gives me the freedom to soar to new heights each time I place my feet at the top of my mat. My Manduka mat holds the energy of my devotion, love, commitment, and every daily discovery from my practice. There is no other mat out there that offers the same kind of support. I love my Manduka!

Description/Bio
Damien fell in love at first stretch upon meeting the ashtanga practice in 1998 as it reflected his passions for sports, meditation and self-inquiry. Meeting the practice daily on his Manduka mat for over 14 years opened his heart and healed a broken knee. Damien studied extensively with Sri K Pattabhi Jois in India and with senior teachers across the world. Humbled and still in love, he shares the grace of the practice the world over with insight, compassion and playfulness. As a traveling yoga teacher Damien believes in social business and is committed to empowering the local communities he visits by raising funds, awareness and voice.
