Active Lifestyle - Designer Diary #2

Active Therapy is a ethical brand for all active sports, from yoga, high sports, dance and gym. What set's us apart from other brands is our core values and luxurious comfort from the ethical fabric. The brands ethos is all about living an active lifestyle as a healthy lifestyle both for you body and brain. Being active is a form of therapy, it can get your blood flowing, improve your muscle strength, boost your endurance, and produce endorphins which make you feel good.

So when we designed the new collection we not only had the ethical element in mind but also creating the perfect fit for every action sport. The leggings and shorts are high waisted and the sports bra's have double layer fabric for support. We wanted to allow movement and support in the garments, giving a feeling of comfort and freedom.

We asked four ladies that have all worn Active Therapy Clothing for their opinions and sports insight of how they felt wearing the garments. These ladies come from different sport backgrounds, from steady flow to high impact. Find out what they had to say...

"Active Therapy Clothing clothes feels like a second skin. They aren't like other yoga wear I've worn that feel too tight and dig into my body. They enhance your shape and allow you to practice comfortably while being supportive and beautiful"

"Active therapy clothing is an innovative new brand that allows your body to breath and feel supported. Wearing the clothes made me feel natural, graceful and confident. It's a breath of fresh air to wear clothes from a yoga brand that works in harmony with the ethos of yoga rather than ego and image! I love it!"

"There was something special about handling the bamboo clothing sent to me from Active Therapy when my package arrived. Magically, it possessed a super soft light fluidity; and at the same time an unmistakeable heaviness pertaining to its structural quality. As a fitness fanatic it’s fair to say I am VERY fussy about what I put on my body to train in. Finding the balance of active wear that is aesthetically pleasing, but high performing, is not easy.  My skin needs to breath, the clothes need to stretch; and my booty needs to look amazing. Then there is the fact I usually wear my fitness clothing all day; because as a working mum; it’s not unusual to have coffee business meetings before my training sessions. I simply don’t have time to change in advance for the gym- so my fitness style becomes my lifestyle... I need an outfit that can tick every box imaginable... Active Therapy certainly delivers.

On a side note I cannot get over the specific cut of my shorts which were bespoke made for me in order to accommodate my UK6-8 waist and UK10-12 booty. I am in love with the shape, feel and performance of my outfit."

Active Lifestyle - Essential Oil Therapy

Image
You can use essential oils in 3 ways; topically, internally and aromatically. Whilst oils can be a perfect relaxation method they can also be used to strengthen your immune system and physical health. Essential oils use Lavender, Melaleuca, Lemon, Oregano, Peppermint, Ginger and Frankincense (along with many more) to help the digestive system, sooth skin irritations, clear sinuses and relieve muscle pain. If you live a healthy lifestyle there is nothing worse then your own body stopping you from being active. To prevent this from happening we need to take all precautions and examine the different possibilities that may protect our wellbeing. Natural remedies are the oldest form of healing, they were used before doctors and chemists. Before the 13th century we used natural ointment as a form of medicine, the majority of the general public would go to their local witch doctor for these ointments. However this changed after the 13th century as the church branded them as magic

Mostly know for being a Parkour athlete, Lynn likes to practice actions sports outdoors. Like all athletes Lynn is strong and works out daily to build her strength, flexibility and balance. This includes practising Yoga to perfect her body balance and technique.  Lynn kindly answered a few questions about her story and wearing Active Therapy. Q When did you decide to become a athlete? I’ve always been relatively active and I never planned on making movement my profession but there’s something about parkour that got me hooked and cannot imagine doing anything other for a living than what I do now.  Q How do you feel about being in a male dominated industry? I honestly don’t mind it. Of course I wish there were more women in the sport but personally it doesn’t put me off that I mostly train and hang out with guys. Even thoug

Active Lifestyle - Summer Smoothies

Image
If your based in England you know how relieved we are to see the sun! Summer time has come at last and the weather is brighter and warmer. So what better way to cool down then a smoothie, a delicious way to stay healthy. Whilst in England smoothie bowls have just been discovered, it's not new to warmer parts of the world where you can get summer fruits all year round. Places like Bali (Indonesia & Asia)  have fresh produce at there finger tips but this is only because people source their fruit from local farmers markets, which makes the produce really organic and natural (not from local super-markets like us Westerners). So if your thinking about making your own, it's really worth going to a farmers market at the right time of year or grow some berries in your back garden (we all went blueberry picking as children, right? Well it's time to start that past time again). The best smoothie's are always made with fresh fruit and produce (nuts, coconut chips and
