This line of Native-designed yoga essentials is a collaboration with CorePower Yoga, a yoga practice with studios across the country based on the principals of community, balance, and health for all.
Mixing traditional designs and vibrant, modern hues, Acoma Pueblo artist and yoga practitioner Michelle Lowden has designed a collection of yoga essentials that honors both the past and future to meet you in the here and now of your practice.
"I practice restorative yoga and trauma-conscious yoga," shares Michelle. "These incredible practices have completely transformed my life, helping me sleep better and restore my nervous system. After intense weight training sessions, restorative yoga has become my go-to for resetting both my mind and body. It's like hitting a reset button after a long and strenuous workout."
Michelle balances her yoga and weight lifting with creating art, running her own business, motherhood, and even reviving Acoma blue corn farming with her brother, Aaron. It's no surprise then that her design for this collection is both visually and symbolically balanced, harmonizing in ways large and small.
"The traditional Pueblo textiles, such as mantas and capes, have always mesmerized me," Michelle says. "They boast breathtaking designs of majestic clouds and towering mountains, capturing the very essence of nature's awe-inspiring beauty. In the past, these textiles were crafted using natural dyes, resulting in subtle, muted color tones. However, in today's world, they showcase an extraordinary array of vibrant hues that take your breath away. And that's precisely the essence I aimed to capture with this yoga collection."
Vibrant turquoise, electric lavender, and a cheerful orange are among the modern colors seen in this collection, and Michelle was very intentional with these color choices. "The intricate designs and a variety of color palettes have become my passion," she shares. "I carefully selected a mix of vibrant tones because I believe that happy, bright colors can significantly increase your mental activity, leaving you feeling completely rejuvenated and energized."
Our yoga collection designed by Michelle Lowden and in collaboration with CorePower Yoga includes a Yoga Tote, Yoga Towel, and Yoga Strap, each sold separately. Each is Native-designed and made of high-quality materials to help you flow.
