yogue

So... it has been a long time since i have updated this blog... for various reasons... which i shall not elaborate on too much ... however... what I can say is that it has been a very "full" year... replete with various things... good and challenging... including planning, organizing and experiencing a very joyful, sustainable wedding, decorating (with an ecological bent), our first home... and traveling to teach (yoga) at many workshops and retreats... all over the world... including, this past month, to Costa Rica... where we spent some time in a small town called Nosara, on the Pacific Coast in the Guanacaste province...

And of course... right at our doorstep, I discovered, a wonderful little store, The Bazaar de Nosara, that seemed to be a gypsy treasure-trove, filled with objets d'art and clothing from Morocco, Bali, India and the local beach... The bazaar is run by a lady Gonca Gul (she is Turkish) who also happens to design a beautiful yoga line, called Leila Yoga.

I bought a top and a dress from the collection and love the fabric... it is made from a technical fabric (i.e. nylon, poly blend, but feels much softer than the lululemon-type fabric) with a really nice elasticity (i.e. fits various body types and sizes).

Gonca's operation is still small, but you can find her in North America, Europe and Asia. For her other clothing, check out: www.goncastyle.com

Happy Holidays...
