#5- In 2013 we were so thankful for the Smithsonian's Arthur M. Sackler Gallery launching 'Yoga: The Art of Transformation', the world's first exhibition of yogic art. This gallery not only honored the beauty of yoga as an art, but reignited the beauty of yoga into our culture.

#4. We're thankful for YOU. In 2013 YogaOutlet.com has blossomed into a beautiful, successful company; we owe all of our gratitude to our loyal customers, inspiring friends and wonderful fans.

#3. We are grateful for Malala Yousafzai and her undeniable courage and kind heart. In 2013, this inspiring teenager was recognized with many notable prizes and awards for being an advocate for young girls world-wide.

#2. In 2013, we were moved by Nelson Mandela and the celebration of his life. In honoring Mandela and all of his accomplishments, we are especially thankful for the influential people of the world that lead with compassion and perseverance.

#1. We are most grateful for being dedicated to our practice in 2013. It is a beautiful thing to be able to use yoga as an outlet of expression, inspiration and passion in everyday life. #MyYogaOutlet
