YOU'RE IN THE ZONE
Discover insights on yoga, wellness, mindfulness and sustainable living.
Earlier in the year I travelled to Jaipur, India to work on our new 100% hemp linen collection—rooted in nature, inspired by tradition, and crafted with intention. From meeting our incredible makers at EchoEarth to experiencing the magic of traditional block printing, this journey was about more than just clothing. It was about connection—between people, places, and the energy woven into every thread.
At ZONE, we often talk about finding your zone — that calm, focused state where everything flows with ease. Across cultures, there are beautiful words that describe this feeling of harmony and presence. Here are ten that capture what it truly means to be in the ZONE.

These awards celebrate the very best in non toxic activewear, hemp clothing, and sustainable yoga gear, rigorously tested for quality, comfort, and ethics.
