WHY not try purple leggings for asanas?

The yoga room in the iconic residence of architect Lorenzo Calma overlooks the swimming pool and the sculptural tropical foliage. The gentle sounds of water gushing from the spout of the roof can be heard while his daughter, Lorena, chants Om and sacred Sanskrit verses.

Her hatha yoga class is all about relaxationlots of meditation in repose, traditional poses held for a minute with coordinated breathing and thoughtful pauses between each position.

Weary of the intense materialism in America, designer Lorena Calma chucked in her Balenciagas and Blahniks for ashram cottons and scrubs. She gave up her position as design director for Gap International, handling the UK and Japanese markets, to become a hatha yoga proponent.

It was but logical for her to develop her own yoga line.

Yoga is my life. I totally transformed in the past four years, says the younger Calma, wearing a yellow bamboo T-shirt which she designed, plus off-white drawstring pants.

Top houses

Calma acquired a degree in fashion at the Fashion Institute of Technology and studied tailoring and art at Polimoda in Florence, Italy. She worked as assistant designer for top fashion houses such as Calvin Klein, Kenzo, Valentino menswear and Emmanuel Ungaro and, finally, as design director for Gap.

Designing in Corporate America was not what I had in mind, she says. Youre confronted with the reality that its a business, not art. Students in fashion are not made to understand that. The reality of fashion in America is that you need to surviveto sell and to merchandise. I wasnt excited about that part.

STRETCHABLE cotton-blend tees hug the torso while the shorts dont bunch up while working out.

Lorena Calma ditches the NY fashion world–and discovers bliss in yoga

I honour the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells. I honour the place in you which is of love, of truth, of light and of peace. I honour the place in you if youre in that place in you and Im in that place in me and theres only one of us ~ Namaste

What starts out for most as a physical practice, slowly becomes a mental practice, said Kezia Tatton, yoga instructor at Yoga Shala in Port Elgin in an interview last week.

The 23-year-olds yoga journey started when she was 15 and took her first class with her mother.

I was having a pretty rough time and not really enjoying the whole high school experience, explained Tatton. So my mom got me into yoga and that helped me to find who I was; helped me get into a more confident self.

In Sanskrit, yoga is to yoke or bind and is often interpreted as union or a method of discipline.

Yoga to me is that mixture, that connection you get with your mind and your body, Tatton said.

What yoga did for me was give me a connection between my crazy teenage hormonal mind and my body, she explained. Once you get into the classes and start your breathing, you start to feel more relaxed. It brings you to the connection so your brain and your bodys actually start talking to each other and you really start evaluating the way youre feeling.

Tatton was practicing regularly during high school, and what was once just an activity she did with her mom, became her passion.

It was my personal escape, she said.

This then gave Tatton the courage to do yoga teachers training. While writing in her journal in Feb. 2008, she wrote down that she wanted to go to Yandara Yoga Institute in Baja, Mexico and made it her goal.
