Manuka and Claire Missingham join forces

Friday 25 May, 2007

ManukaTriyoga teacher Claire Missingham has teamed up with yoga clothing brand Manuka to launch a new range.

 

The six-piece clothing collection - called Sushumna, which means "ray of light" in Sanskrit - was inspired by a gap in the market for practical but stylish yoga kit.

Missingham says: "In my classes I would see women struggling with their kit, holding up their tops and pulling up their trousers as they moved into the different asanas. It was really getting in the way of their practice.

"I knew I had to design my own range. So, I called up Manuka and asked them if we could do something together. I spent a lot of time designing each item in the range making sure it was perfect for a yoga practice."

The collection - which comprises three styles of yoga trousers and three tops - was also inspired by the seven human chakras. Pure white, Rahasthan Red and Tibetan Orange feature strongly.

It will be available online from August this year.
