We all know the importance of drinking water before, during and after a yoga session to stay hydrated. But what if there was no clean water available to drink--not only for your practice, but for your daily routine? Unfortunately, for almost a billion people on the planet, this is a reality. Unsafe water and a lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of all disease and kill more people than all forms of violence, including war.

Fortunately, we can do something to help. In the spirit of #Practice Giving we are encouraging our community to unite together to raise funds to bring clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations. Just $20 can give one person clean drinking water for 20 years. Our goal? To raise enough funds to hydrate a whole village.

Join us in giving back this holiday season, one small donation can make a lifetime of change.

You can donate directly here or use the promo code: WATER with any purchase on www.manduka.com and 10% of your proceeds will be donated directly to this fund.

Namaste.
