Symbolism behind KATICA Yoga Apparel

My design inspiration for the KATICA line was "color." I knew that I wanted to incorporate colorful pieces in a sophisticated style that had a meaning behind them. Each color represents an idea, theory, planet, etc. Read on for more details.

Yoga Apparel

In August of 2006, I started my own business, selling my own line of branded yoga apparel, named KATICA. I sell locally and online at www.katicavida.com It has been so rewarding to combine my love for yoga with fashion.

Practicing Yoga

My day always begins with breathing exercises and mantra meditation. It is a great way to start the day, calm and with a clear mind. After my meditation, I usually practice Yin Yoga, consisting of a few floor stretches while staying in each pose for 3-4 minutes.
