Where Dahn Yoga practitioners share their experiences

If you like yoga-related inspirational stories for women, you'll be interested in a feature recently published by the Minneapolis Star Tribune on a pair of siblings who have taken yoga clothing design to bold places.
According to the newspaper, 37-year-old twin sisters Kaja Foat and Zoe Foat Naselaris have spent more than a decade developing a personal success plan that involved yoga outfits. Now, after years spent in design school and countless hours burned over the drawing board, the pair said they have achieved success.
The twin sisters currently own and operate a yoga clothing store in the Twin Cities, and they say that their non-traditional clothing flies in the face of current fashion.
Like Dahn Yoga uniforms, the designs offered by the Foat siblings are based on long sleeves, natural fabrics, organic fibers and comfortable fit.
For ladies in particular, the primary criteria for buying a yoga outfit should be its temperature control and the eco-friendliness of its threads, the sisters told the news source.
"Women's bodies are all different," Kaja told the newspaper, adding that it's up to female yoga enthusiasts to choose clothing that suits their needs.
Though it was founded in the 1980s, Dahn Yoga's basic precepts and techniques are directly descended from methods practiced five millennia ago in East Asia. These precepts include the importance of the mind's partnership with the body, as well as the need for a balanced bond between the two.
Today, thousands of Americans practice Dahn Yoga everyday, many of whom are delightedly trying it for the first time. Taking a little time out of one's day to stretch, breathe, pose and meditate with a gentle smile on one's face can radically change one's mood and outlook.
