This is how we do it…
SPIRITUAL life is not separate from work life is not separate from personal life. Mental and emotional health is intertwined with physical health. When this Union is understood, felt, and nurtured, spiritual health evolves naturally.
YOGA
is about developing self-awareness, overall health, and peace of mind in every day living. My work is about the nitty-gritty, get-down work of discovering and accepting the truth of who you are. It's about owning your stuff, claiming your power, and opening up to new possibilities. I teach classical, 8-limbs Yoga including Ayurveda, Sanskrit, and Therapy. I design programs and products that educate and support physical and emotional health through mindfulness.
HEMP Clothing
is about feeling good with what goes ON your body as well as what goes IN your body. I am an artist who stumbled upon the art of designing clothes because I love textiles and wanted to wear organic stuff made with natural fibers. I also had a hard time following store-bought patterns. Hemp, organic cotton, flax, soy and silk fibers combined with the non-toxic, fiber-reactive dyes I use are gentle and easy on sensitive skin which I have. The chemicals in mainstream life - dyes, fragrances, soaps, synthetic fabrics are contributing to the growing problem of allergies, asthma, and other health issues, so Surya Leela is an healthy alternative to keep YOU healthy as well as THE PLANET by using fibers from crops that grow easily without a lot of water & labor and are naturally pesticide resistant (good for farmers).
WHEN we experience total awareness (Yoga), we can respond, adjust and act in ways that are respectful and beneficial for ourselves and others which is AHIMSA - the ultimate goal or result of Yoga. Through study and practice, the essence of Yoga is revealed; integration and equanimity are realized; mental clarity, emotional resiliency and harmonious relationships blossom. We delight in living and LIVE in LEELA. I work to encourage and inspire that.
TOGETHER - individually and collectively - we can positively affect our own well-being, the evolution of humanity and that of the planet.
