Yoga has become popular as a form of physical exercise based upon physical poses, but “yoga" not means impossible postures, contortions or stunts that only body in perfect conditions can perform. 

you practice Yoga.

Why should you wear Crystals?

Yoga and Crystals are both the greatest masters in transformation. That's why Crystals and yoga are so strictly related.
Crystals take on a miracle shape in harsh conditions over time, under extreme temperature and pressure, reminding us that change is not just possible but also inevitable.
Yoga leads our body/mind into a transformational-liberating journey that involves all life.


These gemstones strongly support us to unlock our potential to grow and transform in our daily life, boosting our journey on the mat. But is there a lot more.

The goal of every transformative yoga path is to bringing yoga over the mat. That means be in yoga all day long training yourself to experience this philosophy while you're working, you're stuck in the traffic, you wash the dishes or you're waiting for your kids out of school.

That is precisely the why crystals are such powerful friends walking this transformative, exciting and liberating journey called life, and they're a boost for growing, especially if you practicing yoga.

"When you experience everything as one in your consciousness, then you are in yoga."

Sadhguru

Like the Yogi, mystic and New York Time bestseller Author, Sadhguru says, the only things which are in your experience are your body, your mind, and your emotions. And when you experience one of the three, there's always energy behind them.

In fact, there are just four realities in our lives: physical, emotional, mental, and energy.
So whatever we decide to do we work on these levels.


If you use your emotions, walking on the path of devotion you practice bhakti yoga. If you use your knowledge and intelligence, we call this gnana yoga. If you use your body, you're practicing karma yoga. If you transform your energies, we call this kriya yoga.
