What are the eight foundations of Yoga? In the West we often focus on Asana, which is one of the eight foundations of yoga. Meaning different postures and poses. However there is a lot more to yoga then meets the eye. So while it's all well and good scowling through Instagram at impressive body poses and silhouettes, yoga is not a superficial hobby, in fact it's quite the opposite, it has depth and focuses on your mental and spiritual growth. More people across the world are acknowledging the benefits yoga has on their wellbeing and how this can make a positive impact on their mental and physical strength, therefore creating a better environment for all. Being conscientious and empathetic plays a big part in yoga, this is because in order to feel connected to the practice, you need to be connected to all and this can only be achieved though understanding and mindfulness (of the planet, environment and humanity). So while we need to look after our bodies, treasure th

Lynn Jung won the best female 'Art of Motion' award from RedBull in 2016 and is becoming a house hold name within the sports industry. 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

This Summer we decided to do a Yoga Challenge, collaborating with Melon & Lime Mats and Chant Malas . With Anna De Sousa as the host; Anna is a plant based blogger and yoga teacher in training, she believes in supporting ethical brands as she holds Eco friendly values. The theme of the Yoga Challenge was 'Heart Openers' (which was really close to our hearts) so we called it #summerheartopeners This included a variation of five yoga poses related to the theme. Anna flowed through each pose wearing Active Therapy Clothing, her balance and flexibility was astonishing. Yoga Challenges are nothing new to the Yoga industry but we wanted to do something a little different, something that was inclusive. We decided to do the challenge because we wanted to inspire and motivate those involved. Luckily we had a really positive response and many Yogi's world wide took part (for this we are very grateful), in different locations (from the sea, city to fields). Each da

This month we launched in Yoga in the Lanes , with a fun packed day of free yoga classes and healthy food from You Juice to celebrate. The YITL yoga school is based in central Brighton and is the home of hot yoga among a mix of other yoga practices, such as Yin, Ashtanga and Conditioning. All classes help develop your posture, strength and flexibility. You can find our ethical activewear in the reception accompanying Chant Malas beautiful handmade beads. The two brands compliment each other as they both hold Eco friendly values and handmade qualities, both being produced in Brighton. The day welcomed all levels and every class was filled with both regulars at the school and beginners, supporting all on their yoga journey. A few classes offered yoga demonstrations by the teachers (Bridgett Ann the joint founder of the school with husband Simon). Which is much better than any YouTube video, giving a full insight into each posture and flow. Each attendee was offered hea
