An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish such as long life, prosperity and good health, and be known to give a thousand years of happiness and prosperity.

It is also used as a matchmaking charm for a Japanese girl when she turns 13 years old. She would make 1000 paper cranes and give it to an admired boy.

We think folding 1000 origami cranes is a lot of work, though, and suggest buying the Origami Crane mat instead! Our Yoga Mats are great for Hot Yoga, Power Yoga, Bikram Yoga, Pre-Natal Yoga.... well, any type of Yoga and Pilates! Because our Yoga Mats are extra thick, phthate and heavy metal free, we are confident that you will love your printed yoga mat!
