BRAND STORY

Any exercise is key for the body, but there’s something about Yoga that makes it more than that. Yoga gives me a moment of peaceful stillness in this hectic world; it allows me to mentally and spiritually enter a different zone. And the last thing I would want is to have this Yoga moment disrupted. I want my environment to be perfect, my surroundings pristine. I want the afterglow of this freshness with me well after my Yoga moment ends. My moment of bliss. My moment, of Felicity.
