YoGGa Class

Gucci yoga mat

When you were in a foul mood, you splurged on Gucci stilettos.

When you decided to get sporty, you bought the Gucci surfboard.

Now you seek purification (penance maybe?), but old habits die hard. Don’t worry, Gucci is still there for you — with a yoga mat and matching carrying case.

Not that their brand of spiritual enlightenment comes cheap. It’ll cost you $870. But you’ll get to say you and Jada Pinkett Smith do your pigeon on the same chic black logoed plastic! And through their snickers, the folks down-dogging next to you will be secretly impressed.

Ridiculous as it may seem, the yoga mats are selling out. As in wait list. Can one be Zen about a wait list?

What we want to know is, will Tom Ford be teaching Kundalini anytime soon?

Available at Gucci boutiques in New York (685 Fifth Avenue, at 54th Street, 212-826-2600) and Beverly Hills (347 North Rodeo Drive, 310-278-3451). For other locations, call 800-234-8224.
