Bali Blessing Ceremony: Why Rituals Matter.

November 12, 2020 by yogue 2 Comments

We have now been “living” in Bali since mid February. Almost nine months.

And while it’s offered us countless beautiful sunsets, memorable surfs, visits to the tropical jungles and waterfalls and time to kindle new friendships and renew old ones; it has also been a place where we have continuously shape-shifted to adapt our work to this current time – which has meant a constant and not always happy dialogue with technology as we move more and more of our yoga teaching online; financial worries in this time of a global pandemic; dealing with tropical flus, bugs; more heat and a few accidents, two of which were way too close for comfort.

nagnAta: luxe fashion for the Gypset Yogini

Why do we travel if not to seek the deeper meaning of life?  And yet so often, when we embark on our spiritual journey, we realise that the answers to those big questions lie right here.

It’s a paradox isn’t it?
Yet travel and the freedom that it offers, the freedom to explore new frontiers without and within is at the heart of it.
nagnAta, which means “Naked Wanderer” is an eco-Yoga lifestyle company from Byron Bay, Australia that is inspired by the nomadic muse of travel: its ability to offer inspiration, fuel creativity and embrace the sensuous freedom in life.
The label’s beautiful, handcrafted designs – currently a collection of yoga mat bags made from vibrant, vintage silk saris and quilts from Rajasthan, India that are rebirthed into modern, bohemian creations, and help to sustain ancient weaving techniques and preserve the culture of indigenous craftsmanship – drew me in.  As well I was inspired by the company’s ideals to weave together worlds of creativity, tradition, sustainability and innovation offering a style befitting the modern day yogini.
I wanted to kick off the first of the YOGUE Style Files: a series of interviews with independent designers and makers who are inspired by their yoga practice to create.  Please read on for a lively conversation about yoga, ethics, creativity and entrepreneurship with the founders of nagnAta: Holly Dixon and and Laura May Gibbs.  I know that you will enjoy the interview and the lush images all by nagNata.  At the end, you’ll also find a special offer, exclusive to YOGUE readers.  
Please leave your comments. As always, I love to hear from you.  
Namaste + Aloha,
Insiya
