Years ago, the word "fitness" used to make me cringe. Heck, going through school my mom's biggest complaint about me was not my grades, but the fact that I always "forgot" my gym shoes at home and she had to run them to the school on a weekly basis. Looking back I'm not sure if I just simply forgot, or if I did it intentionally because I hated gym class so much and wanted an excuse to sit it out! One of the most hilarious stories that my parents like to tell is that when they went to parent-teacher conferences all my gym teacher could say was that "I was a sweet kid." In high school I did tennis and marching band (yes, it is a sport, don't argue this with a band kid), but never would I have imagined myself doing what I'm doing now!
...
Rock climbing, kayaking, hiking, biking, running, yoga, etc. If someone told me I would be doing all this now AND loving it, I would have laughed! I used to look at people who ran and question their sanity! Now one of my favorite things to do is crank up some tunes and run for a couple of miles! Not only is working out a great mood booster, but for that time there is nothing on my mind but the mantra of "enjoying the present moment". Usually my mind is running (haha) about a million miles an hour with all the things I need to get done. Having those moments of complete awareness and clarity without all the chatter, is absolute bliss.

When I was introduced to the store, Mantra Vie, I instantly fell in love with their athletic wear. Normally athletic wear gets a bad rep with just being practical and not having any style or aesthetic. That is not the case with Mantra Vie. Their workout gear is comfortable, practical, designed to give you a great workout, AND it is stylish enough to take you from studio-to-street! Just like a mantra, their high quality workout wear is a magnificent motivator to get out and get active!

The goal of Mantra Vie, was "to create a community of strong, like-minded individuals that can inspire each other to make the most out of each and every day." It was founded by Christina, a busy mother of three who wanted a store that was considered a one-stop wardrobe shop. She sought out the most comfortable, trendy, and functional pieces for men and women. Mantra Vie is more than just a store, but an open and inviting atmosphere where you can stay, relax, and enjoy the shopping experience!
So go live the mantra life with Mantra Vie!
