If 10,000 NY Biters use a jute yoga mat instead of a PVC one, we'll keep the weight of 167 yoga instructors in nonrecyclable plastic out of production.

Namaste is Sanskrit; it translates to "I bow to you".

Showing your Sage

The Bite

Looming deadlines making you feel twice your age? Get wise to Namaste Yoga and Tranquility Center, where you can sip organic tea made with herbs grown in the onsite garden (sage, lemon, chamomile, even healing neem) after a yoga class and take a turn in the aromatherapy steam room - all for the price of a cab from West Village to the Upper East Side. (If you need to save your cash for your weekly ramen supply, you can donate time to the center instead). The small-group classes for all levels - held weekdays, evenings, and weekends - feel more like sessions at friend's pad than a studio. Bonus: Mats are made from natural jute (no PVC here), eye pillows and blankets are organic cotton, and the floors are sustainable bamboo...a wealth of eco-wisdom.

Wanna Try

Namaste Yoga and Tranquility Center, 336 Grand St. b/t Marcy Ave. and Havemeyer St., Brooklyn (718-874-3484). Yoga class, $15 (or two hours of work around the center).
