O.K. Bikram Hot Yoga lovers....we have got the hottest yoga wear line for hot yoga EVER!!  Sizzling hip styles with super design and comfort, designer, Kristine Deer has hit the yoga world with her line K.Deer Haute Yoga Wear with a smash!   We are so excited to have her line for our hot yogi customers - we know you will love the look and feel as much as we do (we really had to cool down after modeling these ~ woo hoo!)

A little info....Kristine, the talent behind K.Deer, is actually an RYT200 certified Barkan Method Teacher herself - so she knows first hand what works and what doesn't when practicing hot.

After studying at Syracuse and the London College of Fashion, Kristine worked in the fashion industry in New York, designing and assisting for multiple companies. Due to the shift in the U.S. economy, Kristine lost her job and almost simultaneously, was introduced to Bikram Yoga. Her practice expanded to 6 days a week and out of necessity, she began designing and developing yoga shorts in her bedroom/studio (she fondly calls 'The Sweatshop'). When Kristine pulled her two passions of fashion design and hot yoga together,  K.Deer Haute Yoga Wear emerged.  Kristine designs and develops new products, tests them with her fellow teachers and friends in the hot yoga room, and then shares them with the hot yoga community. Kristine is driven to give other yogis the opportunity to feel as free as she does in her flattering yoga wear and is constantly growing the collection to meet the needs of hot yogis everywhere. Some of the greatest aspects of her design come from Kristine's personal desire to take care of our environment and local communities.  K.Deer Haute Yoga Wear only uses eco-friendly vegetable dyes, has domestic production operations and uses recyclable packaging - all truly important for any brands offered here at Yoga With Style.

So go ahead, 'get haute and sweaty, K.Deer's got you covered.'

It is with great pride and pleasure that we offer to our customers some one of a kind pieces made by a most talented jewelry designer, Dagmar Magdalena Ceki.  We are thrilled that Dagmar has created designs exclusive to Yoga With Style.  We will be featuring a small quantity of her pieces at a time - so, once they are gone, they are gone (and you will own something made just for you)! 

Dagmar is truly an inspiration to us and we hope to offer some insights from her with the wealth of knowledge that she brings to her love of creating beautiful jewelry.  Each piece has specific meaning and wonder.  Dagmar lives in Sweden and she is a Rainbowserpent Medicine Woman, experienced as Shaman , Energy Coach, Natural Health Consultant, Qi Gong instructor and Reiki Master working in the Ways of The Divine Feminine.  Pretty amazing!  All of Dagmar's jewelry pieces are meant to be healing to the soul. The properties of the stones themselves exude this healing aura as well as captures the loving, healing energy brought into the creating process by Dagmar herself!

Look out for future blogs about Dagmar, her insights, information about stones and properties - she has been a wonderful person to get to know, connect with and we welcome her to our site!  Enjoy!

Please allow additional shipping time as these wonderful pieces are made in Sweden.

TIP/YOGA FACT OF THE DAY #1 Friday November 26, 2010

In Yoga, proper breathing helps to bring more oxygen to the blood and brain, and to control “Prana” (our vital life energy). Pranayama Yoga is a type of yoga that works in tandem with the Asanas. The union of these two Yogic Principles is considered as the highest form of purification and self-discipline, covering both mind and body. There are 4 stages of breathing in Pranayama Yoga. The first stage, which is a single inhalation is called Puraka.

Bikram Yoga - The 26 Pose Yoga in Heat

Thank you article author: jennibagus

Bikram Yoga is named after its founder - Bikram Choudhury, who studied Yoga with Bishnu Ghosh, brother of Paramahansa Yogananda. It is a series of 26 poses performed in a room with temperature of 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Each Yoga Pose is usually performed twice and held for a certain period of time. Yoga Sessions start from Standing Postures, then the Backbends, Forward Bends, and Twists. The poses are accompanied by Kapalabhati Breath or the "blowing in firm".

Why practice Yoga in a heated room?

• Heat is used in Bikram and Hot Yoga in order to allow you to go deeper and safer into a Yoga Pose.
• Your body becomes more flexible in the heat and since most poses used in Bikram are physically challenging, heat allows you to get into a pose that you never imagined you can do.
• It also eliminates the risk of injuries, promotes sweating, and helps you release the toxins in your body.
• The Bikram Yoga Poses not only work on your muscles but also on your internal organs.
• Each pose stretches and strengthens your muscles, joints, and ligaments and, at the same time release the toxins and work on your internal organs like the glands and the nervous system.

Some people are often discouraged to practice of Yoga by thinking that they are not flexible enough. Yoga is not about being flexible, but about strengthening your body and your spine in all directions with the goal of creating a union between the body, mind and spirit. All that matters is to try the right way without pushing yourself too far.

Yoga with Style has a great new category just for hot/bikram yoga products such as towels, special mats etc. We will be adding to this category over the coming weeks as there are many new products out there for hot yoga practice - even special moisture wicking clothing for controlling warmth and managing sweat. (I have to say, it's pretty uncomfortable to do a hot yoga session in sweatpants!) So, we will have cute shorts and tanks, headbands, tanks for the guys all to help you look stylish while still controlling moisture!
