I purchased for a gift to my son, he is happy with them
High quality garment. Kinda long and expensive.
Love this top. It's my 2nd neema; light, wicking, warm, long enough and doesn't stink.
This month we’re exploring the meaning of adventure and what that looks like from person to person.We’ll be interviewing a series of our favourite adventurers to find out their hidden gems, top tips for exploring and more.
Do you dream of turning your hobby into a career? Kim Fuller, avid runner and yogi did just that. Having discovered a love for running back in college, Kim turned to yoga to support her training and is now the owner and editor-in-chief for the online global community Yoga + Life, based in Colorado.
We caught up with Kim to learn more about her journey into yoga and how the practise can support and strengthen an active lifestyle.
I got into running in college (in Boulder, at CU) when I was no longer playing my high school team sports and wanted to find an easy and inexpensive way to stay active. I fell in love with running as it eased my stress and worked my body in new ways, and it was always such a refreshing release to walk out the door and see where my body would take me on any given day. I started doing yoga as a way for me to complement my running, and the more I got into the practice the more I deeply enjoyed the mental and emotional benefits, along with the strength and stretching, of course. I now live in Vail, Colorado and teach yoga locally and mostly run on trails, but no matter where I go in the world I bring running and yoga with me.
It depends on the event, but no matter what I enjoy grounding down at home. I usually try to exercise in the mornings, so after a work event or athletic endeavour, you can usually find me in the bath tub or on the couch with a book and a glass of wine.
Well, I love anywhere I can explore and play! Anywhere in Europe is usually fair game, especially in the mountains or near the ocean, and I lived in Scotland for a while so I always love going back there to visit. Five years ago, my husband and I hiked The West Highland Way in Scotland (sure wish I had some kora gear on that trek), and I would love to go back and do it on a bike or trail running!
There is a trail right behind our home in West Vail called North Trail, and the segment I love is exactly a 10k loop with 1,000 feet of ascent then back down. It is the most beautiful and ideal trail for training and enjoying on foot and on a mountain bike. I love not having to get in the car, just lace up and go!
It can be intimidating to start a new activity, especially when you may be with people who are more experienced. Give it a try even when you’re nervous, and keep doing it! I LOVE having running and biking buddies to meet and keep me accountable for early morning starts. Joining a group or making plans to meet a friend is always a great way to be sure you get out there. Also, don't think about starting, just do it, and think about how great you will feel when you’re done!
