Dear Friend,

Colour is a funny thing — what one person loves, another positively detests. Whether you are buying a gift for a friend or something for yourself, it can be difficult to decide on a colour when likes and dislikes are so subjective.

That's the challenge we face when it comes time to pick colours for the next season's yoga mats. But the time has come: we must decide on our Fall colours, and this season we're asking you to help us choose.

By assisting us in that choice, you're helping the yoga community at large. And to show our appreciation, we'll send out 2 free yoga mats to 2 lucky recipients — just as soon as the new mats are ready.

To enter, all you do is click on your favourite colour from the options below. But take care to click on one colour only — your favourite colour.

(Clicking on more than one colour will invalidate your entry, so please choose one only.)

Ready? Set? Click!
