My whole life I have been an active person. I started dancing at age 3, and continued to travel the globe working as a professional dancer.
Over recent years I came to gain a huge passion for all things health, fitness and (particularly) yoga related. I became a certified fitness instructor, personal trainer and Zumba! Instructor.
Now the next, and seemingly most important, step is to obtain my Level 1 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training certification.
Yoga is the most rewarding exercise I have ever experienced. It caters for all ages, body types and abilities. It brings ones body back into a balanced state, working both strength and flexibility. Yoga calms the mind and the central nervous system.
And surprisingly to some, yoga can really get your heart rate up, and work up a sweat – even without a heated room (i.e Bikram Yoga).
A lot of people over the years have asked me what clothing, or attire, I prefer to wear when dancing, instructing, and soothing my soul with yoga. And believe me, I have tried many different brands, different fabrics and styles.
Enter, the Australian brand Abi & Joseph.
The first thing that drew me to Abi & Joseph was their range of pants in different lengths.. yes that’s right… go for the regular if your petite or average in height. But if you’re tall, they can cater for you with their “tall girl/long legs” gorgeous pants. My favourite is the Slim Fit style in the colour “Kohl” – a nice change from the usual black!
Another style of pant to note is the classic legging in a 4/5 length – perfect for Yoga, Pilates, walks, or for simply lounging around!
And for the top half, I have fallen in love with the Supplex Mesh Tank Top – with crossed straps at the back in the most divine colour tones. Again, my favourite being the Lilac. This top has been made with a built-in shelf bra for added support. And the mesh enables to fabric to breathe – perfect for when you get hot and sweaty!
Lastly, I have to mention the incredibly gorgeous, and unbelievably useful, non-slip socks. Have you ever tried Yoga or Pilates, only to get frustrated slipping around on your mat? P.s: Check out the gorgeous graphic on the soles!
