My dear friend Brenna was the co-owner of the womxn’s only Yoga studio Soft Yoga Perth (https://www.softyogaperth.com/) she asked me in 2020 if I would make a Soft Yoga specific product which I was delighted by. It made me feel like DJ taking requests and also I loved the trust and collaboration. Soft Yoga Perth is not only the only womxn’s studio in Perth but it has hard/soft stance of no power vinyasa, offering restorative, yin, breathwork and slow flow. This uber yang and hustle life we find ourselves immersed within, within this dense iron age is not conducive to nervous system health. It made sense to create a product based on nurtuting the nervous system and offering respite for the parasympathetic response. Sympathy for the Parasympathetic Nervous System Response. For more information on the nervous system, check out my first Blog post or don’t, ya know, you do you.
