Life is a beach. November 12, 2019 15:12

I can't believe that we are actually doing this.  A lot has happened since we had to temporarily close up shop. (And the break was much longer than anticipated.)      Packing up house and business in Sydney, an extended holiday in Europe and after living as nomads for a while, totally unexpectedly ending up in the beautiful Byron shire. We love it here, the place is filled with laidback, friendly, creative people, beautiful nature and wildlife, yoga galore, glorious beaches on our doorstep and dogs everywhere..

A perfect antidote for all the other changes that the world has seen lately. A lot of the changes in the greater world are not exactly positive and for the greater good of all. Now, more than ever before we have to make our own paradises, our own safe havens in a bewildering world. We have to try our hardest to stay positive and find inspiration where we can. In our own communities, our own 'tribes' wherever we find them, in our streets, our towns or online in faraway places. In the youth of this world, and the young-at-heart, not yet jaded, not yet sold-out, with eyes wide open and determined to better the world.

We find peace in our yoga practice and let the asana's nourish our bodies and minds. Our deep breathing calms us down, dissipates our anxieties. To have a calm, loving mind and a healthy body is the greatest gift for ourselves and the rest of the world. Whom better to turn to in moments of doubt and fear than our mother. And Mother Earth is still there, although a bit battered and the worse for wear.

We are so lucky to start the day with a walk and/or swim on a beautiful beach.     It doesn't take much to feel content and happy this way, to feel optimistic about the future and full of inspiration for new designs and ideas. We hope that everyone is able to find their own special place, their own little paradise wherever they are, otherwise feel free to share ours....

My First Blog June 20, 2015 13:32

Hi, I am thrilled to finally share with you my yoga inspired tops and their story. I love Yoga and love the way it makes me feel. Since Yoga is only gaining in popularity I know more and more people all over the world have discovered and are discovering its many benefits. Some are only interested in the physical side of this practice, and that is fine. But I feel that even if you mechanically go through the poses and routines you can't help but be transformed eventually, even just a tiny little bit. Holding on through a difficult and maybe somewhat uncomfortable asana helps you develop strength, flexibility, patience and endurance that you can call upon and use in everyday life situations. The relief of getting into child pose (Balasana) after a challenging sequence, or corpse pose (Savasana) at the end of your practice or class makes you realize you are deserving and you really should nurture and look after yourself. That can only be good, can't it?

What also eventually made a deep impression on me was when at the end of a practice, my teacher would say: "Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu" translated as "May all the beings everywhere be happy and free and may the thoughts, word and actions of my own life contribute to that happiness and to that freedom of all". A noble and worthwhile notion I thought especially in the world we live in presently. And I started to realise that for me "all beings" included animals. We live in a world where some lucky animals are prized and pampered as beloved pets, "furry children" for many people. Other animals are being viewed and discarded as nothing but commodities to make profit from, without any thought for their quality of life. In my own little way I would like to honour "the happiness and freedom of all", in this case animals. That's why I decided to highlight animals and animal asana's in this way. I love bringing my love for Yoga, love of animals and love of art together. And create some awareness to their existence and some compassion for a better world for all creatures.

I am full of ideas and look forward to sharing my ideas and future designs with you.
