Prana

If you’ve been with me for a while you know how much I enjoy yoga. It is more than a form of exercise to me it is part of my "me time," a deep part of how I unwind, and the only thing that stills my mind. For all of that relaxation to occur, you need a totally relaxing environment and that includes what you are wearing.

There is nothing more distracting than an ill-fitting yoga outfit tugging at you at the wrong moment. Well maybe when my dogs come running and jump on me is a bit more distracting, but any distraction can pull you from the moment.

Prana offers a wonderful selection of clothes that are perfect for allowing you to slip and sink totally into your "me moment" without a single tug. My last few sessions I have been wearing the Peacock Boho Paisley Sabin Racer Top. I love the design, I have always been a big fan of paisley. It also has a built in shelf bra and a lovely bit of stitching in the center of the bust section. It is so soft and fits so nicely. I really love that it is made from recycled and virgin polyester - and it had a touch of spandex to give that perfect lay. I also love that is can be washed on gentle!

Aside from the lovely, comfortable fabric there were a few small touches that made it extra special.  There was no annoying tag inside the neck - always a win. The tag that was pinned to the shirt was made from 100% post consumer waste and printed with soy based ink. Also there was a little stretchy ribbon used to connect the tag to the pin which made a perfect hair tie!

I also have a very cool bag from Prana - Natural Blossom Satchel. Isn’t it just adorable? It's a beautiful, big and sturdy tote, that would be perfect for many uses. I have used it most for trips to the lake to carry my books, camera and snack along. It also has a little pocket for holding your cards or smaller items you don’t want to get lost at the bottom of the bigger compartment. I think it is fantastic that it is also a responsible bag being made from hemp and vegetable dyed print! Besides all the features it is just so cute. I love the design and bright colors.

Prana carries a wide range of products to fit an active and conscientious lifestyle. Take some time to browse their site and see what they carry that fits your needs. While you are there, take some time to learn about this fantastic company and their story of using sustainable practices and supporting the causes that speak to their principles.

Disclosure: I was given the products I reviewed. No other compensation was received. My opinions are my own and may differ from those of your own.
