Over the years, we have had the privilege to associate with yoga teachers across the country. They have been our spokespersons, our collaborators and inspiration for the products we design.
Being a contemporary dance student, I had pretty much been practicing yoga unconsciously for a few months, but I really discovered it during the lockdown in 2020. Being overwhelmed with what was happening in the world and wanting some peace and calm, I looked up some Instagram yoga accounts and started my self-learning journey that made me explore yoga more mindfully. In a time of chaos, yoga brought me a lot of contentment, peace of mind, and a form of physical wellness and I am grateful.

Being a Commercial model / actress for about a decade, I've been in & out of many designer apparels. But comfort isn't always guaranteed. When I started yoga, I found PROYOG, a homegrown brand thoughtfully curated to feel the freedom to move the body, lighter on the skin - yoga or no yoga. Considering that PROYOG is all about organic, holistic & Environment friendly brand, I'm all out to support it.

"I really love the style and look of the clothes, particularly the dhoti-inspired pants. The fabric breathes really well and allows my body to move comfortably. They make me feel like I’m practicing yoga like the yogi’s would in their simple langoti’s. There is a sense of authenticity to it."
It has been 13 years since my inward journey began. In 2010 I decided to go to the Bihar school of yoga for learning and understanding the yogic lifestyle for four months; and that has changed my life ever. the benefits I have gained from yoga made me want to share yoga with one and all.
"I love practicing in Proyog, love the fact it is organic, feels good on my skin, helps me and the environment to breathe. What I love the most are the choice of colours patterns and most importantly it has no tags"

"As a regular teacher and practitioner, Proyog is a welcome change from the usual synthetic yoga wear, which I feel like changing out of as soon as I am done with practice. It's naturally organic fabric lets me move more freely, without any restriction. Much needed since I am in yoga wear almost all day."
Karuna completed her Teacher's Training Course at Samyak Yoga Ashram on the river Kaveri, just outside the city of Mysore.
“While I’ve always veered strongly towards organic, handspun, locally sourced and natural fabrics for my daily wear, finding work out or yoga gear that was as breathable and responsible was a challenge. I guess Proyog closed that gap for me. I strongly believe that if each of us make the choice to wear more responsible clothing, both on and off the mat, we will eventually be able to affect what is produced and sold to consumers, and in turn, be able to affect the adverse effects of the garment industry on the environment, our bodies, and on local arts and communities.”
