Call of Nature

Bam Top Eko Singlet and Wellicious Pants.

September 8, 2011, [London] - At times when the phones don't stop buzzing, and finding time for your own self is a never ending goal of the day, there are only a few things (apart from Music), which can connect you back to who you are.

Yoga is one of them, and as the literal meaning of Yoga is "To join and unite" it is no surprise how it has been taken up by both the Western and the Eastern society with wide & open arms!

Of course, that meant someone had to design clothes for it, demand and supply, as most of us know go hand in hand, and I am so glad there are a quite a few similar minded people who thought the same, at pretty much some point of their lives. I met a friend of mine, who is almost on her way to be a yogi too, she actually travels the world to attend yoga camps!

Sadly, all her efforts to get me in a single yoga asana, go in vain. While reading Eat Pray Love, I was so connected with Elizabeth Gilbert when she was as distracted as I am when sitting still! Hats off to you Liz!

I make up by talking about Yoga clothes, so I was pleased to learn that most these brands not only use organic/recycled material, they also actively help raise funds for a good cause, like Wellicious, a luxury Yoga/Lounge wear brand founded by Heike Schnell, a yoga enthusiast herself, thus ensures that all the products boast of the high standard of fabrics used to create feminine comfortable clothes.

Wellicious Top and Pants

You can buy the Ganesha Printed scarf, worn as a top by my friend, Ariadna and the Flair Yoga Pants, and it will actually help educate a child in Peru!

Eko Sense is yet another brand, who follow similar philosophy of being kind to earth (Eko stands for Earth Kind Originals)and aim to provide stylish, "spend your whole day in them" clothes.

You can buy the Blue reversible Bamboo Jersey Singlet worn under the Wrap top on their website. David Gordon of Bamboo Clothing has yet another pleasing, rather active story, of reinforcing my belief in 'Birds of the same feather flock together'. I honestly loved the hand feel of their 100% biodegradable bamboo Jersey Leggings and Yoga top, it felt so good to have on. I would definitely recommend a purchase on their website, and they will be kind enough to plant a tree for you!KidneyKaren is a trendy kidney belt and personally my solution to cover up those "see through" Gym leggings! I would even wear it with a crop top and boots this winter, but its purpose is much more than looking good, and keeps the core warm during yoga. It's just not a pretty face.My favorite products were these Vintage biscuit Tin recycled jewelry by Kate Hamilton-Hunter, The brooches and the bracelets, were something I could keep collecting and never have enough of!

You could buy all these at the Baoli website as well, which is a strong promoter of overall wellbeing, it could be clothes, gift ideas, holidays, spas, food and my weakness, organic cosmetics!I am sure, I have provided enough food for thought, and doing my bit to save the Earth, in my own way...
