The Newest Travel Companion Helps Yogis Stick to Their Practice

Carlsbad, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) February 17, 2011

The New Year often marks the beginning of new habits and resolutions, as well as the calendar. These goals usually encompass a healthier mindset thus establishing this time of year as ?fitness season?. Southern-California based company, ToeSox, understands this trend as their products for feet suit the soles of many fitness disciplines from running and hiking to Pilates and yoga.

ToeSox recently released gloves that complement their line of non-slip grip toe socks. Grip Gloves by ToeSox prevent hands from slipping during many fitness activities, especially yoga. Sliding hands are common on the yoga mat during dynamic poses like Adho Mukha Svanasana (downward facing dog) and during hot yoga classes. Even more distinctive of the gloves, is their ability to provide secure hand placement on any surface. When Grip Gloves are paired with ToeSox with Grip, yogis can leave their mat behind when travelling, and take their practice virtually anywhere.

While travel may have suffered over the past couple years, experts claim a change in behavior is coming. A 2010 article by hotelmarketing.com predicted that ?36 percent [of Americans] plan to spend more on leisure travel in 2011 than this year? Ninety percent plan to take two or more leisure trips [in 2011] - a slight increase on the 89 percent who said they have done so in 2010.? Couple these travel trends with an increased interest in yoga, and it makes sense for ToeSox to focus their yoga products toward yogis on the go. In 2008, 16 million Americans practiced yoga and the interest is continuing to grow as people are valuing the importance of stress management.

So whether travelers want shopping and skyscrapers or meditative walks on serene beaches, vacations can still be yoga-inspired by practicing poses without slipping anywhere with ToeSox and Grip Gloves.

ToeSox, Inc. was founded in 2004 with the launch of its patented Non-Slip Grip sole, and has since grown from a home-based business to selling various styles nationwide and to more than 40 countries. Visit ToeSox? at http://www.toesox.com or call (877)486-3769.

ToeSox Announces the Creation of Grip Gloves for Travelers Wanting to Continue a Yoga Practice While on Vacation

Vista, CA (PRWEB) July 13, 2011

Because yoga is one of the fastest growing fitness activities in America today, ToeSox annouces the creation of a matless yoga practice with their grip socks and grip gloves. In 2008, 16 million Americans practiced yoga and the interest is continuing to grow as people are valuing the importance of stress management and wellness. Yoga does not require a lot of gear for practice. However, when traveling, yoga mats are not only bulky, they also add a couple pounds to the luggage weight. ToeSox, a company known for its Pilates and yoga toe socks, suggests pairing their grip socks with their grip gloves so yogis of all levels can stick to their practice while on vacation. The gripping technology of their products offers superior grip on any surface anywhere - airport, hotel room, poolside. Additionally, the socks offer a hygienic alternative to bare feet so travelers can have peace of mind where their feet are.

While yoga is an obvious use of the ToeSox fitness products, their grip socks are also used for dance, Pilates, and martial arts. The flexibility of sticking to a fitness routine while on vacation will help reduce stress, maintain proper posture, increase circulation and reduce muscle tension during travel.

While travel may have suffered over the past couple years, experts claim a change in behavior is coming. A 2010 article by hotelmarketing.com predicted that 36 percent [of Americans] plan to spend more on leisure travel in 2011. Ninety percent plan to take two or more leisure trips in 2011.
