Where to Buy

Currently AYB offers cotton Mysore rugs, mat bags, and books by request (learn more here). What AYB doesn't supply, I'll definitely will help you find. I'll only recommend what I know works, is of quality, and ethically produced. If I'm not certain of any of these, I'll say so. I try my best to stay current with what is available and what is out there, however, it is impossible to be on it all the time, so, if you have thoughts, suggestions, or updates, your feedback is welcome. Lastly, because we are a Brooklyn-based program, my suggestions are as local as possible. Support small businesses! If you prefer to shop online, check out the AYB Amazon Store.

Eat Local: Saturday Farmers Market

While the produce isn't from your neighbor's backyard, the bounty at the weekly Greenmarket in McCarren Park is pretty darn close. Sometimes you'll spend a bit more than at the grocery store, but often you'll find yourself spending much less. Plus, you can glory in the fact that you are getting really close to the source of what you put in your body. You're also able to literally put your money where your mouth is... Each dollar you spend is a vote, an investment if you will, for local, whole, healthy, sustainable, different, not factory farmed, etc. sustenance.

You are what you eat and eat what you are.
