Active Therapy

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.

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

The fashion industry is ever changing, in today’s culture fashion design moves faster then ever before as globalisation has made fast fashion accessible to the mass market. But what is the social and environmental impact of this, does there need to be a fashion revolution? Transparency Trend Maybe designers need to become more transparent in their supply chain and consider environmental issues to make sure we have a future?!
