Hello again! I'm Nico, and I wanted to share with you, while it's still fresh in my mind and in yesterday's photos, the incredible experience of the photo shoot for our second collection of yoga mats, "Viva la Vida."
Since 2016, we've been documenting the happy and sad moments of our travels and family life on paper. We believe that immortalizing these moments allows us to relive them and refreshes our memories.
What happened yesterday?
We're making a big impact on our new collection, collaborating with Fran from
April Road Studios . Fran, a perfectionist of detail and a master of composition, lighting, and sound, captured the essence of our mats with exceptional quality.
It must be said, this guy is a genius, and the connection was instant, resulting in incredible photos that highlight the design and quality of our mats, with their spectacular yoga designs, conceived by our great friend
Vero Castaño.
The Most Epic Moment of the Day
To highlight the mats' functionality, we put them to the test on four models, including myself! I mean, I've always dreamed of having professional photos with our mats, and that dream came true.
The models were also:
-
Vicky (@wearehona) : What a lovely, cheerful person she is! She's one of the founders of We are Hona ! I actually met this beautiful person, Lucía (my partner and colleague), during her Casa del Moviment classes in Barcelona. Between photos, we heard her beautiful story. She comes from Buenos Aires and now plays the harmonium. Her positive energy and deep connection with the photographer enriched the session.
-
Laura (@laura.travelyoga) : Originally from Girona, she lives on the beach and radiates tranquility, with an incredible smile and a quality for yoga that left us amazed. We can't wait to stop by and practice yoga with her in Platja d'Aro.
-
Veny (@venanciosilva_) : with a deep gaze and a giant smile, this ballet dancer and occasional yogi is the Brazilian with the most flow you'll ever see in your life.
Together, and guided by Vicky, we carried out a very heartfelt practice, inside the beautiful
Palm Bella House studio, in the heart of Poblenou, Barcelona.
The photos will be ready very soon, but as I said, it's important to document what we experienced as soon as possible, so as not to forget these four people who accompanied us yesterday, and who are now part of our brand's DNA.
The brilliant mind behind this event.
Lucia: I'll thank you first. You made this yoga photoshoot possible. You took care of every detail: finding the location, the people, the photography, the clothing (nothing more and nothing less than
Shambhala !), and even rescheduling everything for the very good reason you and I both know. We all enjoyed it thanks to your contribution, and that gratitude is what drives me to finish describing what we experienced in this brief article.
Reflections on Project Growth
This third photoshoot symbolizes everything we've learned and what still awaits us. We're thrilled to have contributed to the practice of hundreds of yogis and know this is just the beginning of a long journey.
That's why we will continue to bet on more :)
We are sure that what is coming is always better, although that does not limit us from looking back and feeling that even though the road seemed winding, we have gone in a straight line to where we are.
In "Polvo de Estrellas," the famous song by Jorge Drexler, we find the phrase "a life is worth a sun." I love this simple line because it makes me realize that, although there are countless people inhabiting this planet, life gives us the opportunity to share unique moments with different people. This reflection fills me with gratitude.
Thanks to you:
