Find the Perfect Short for your Active Lifestyle

Monday, April 29th, 2013

Looking for the right shorts for your workout? We sat down with our designers and got the skinny on how each Zobha short was constructed and matched the styles up to our favorite activities:

 

  • Yoga – For the average yoga enthusiast out there, the Asana Short is what you’re looking for. Small vents at the side, a slightly longer cut than the booty burner and a pop of color at the waistband make these shorts perfect for your next weekend flow!

  • Hot Yoga – If you like to dial up the thermostat in your yoga classes, the Booty Burner is what you’re looking for! These shorts were designed for the hot yogis out there – with side tabs and feminine shirring at the hips you’ll look cool even while you sweat
  • Running – For all you runners out there, we designed our new Woven Running Short. With built in mesh paneling, zipper pockets, and a cute pop of color these shorts are a must have for your warm weather running attire!

Zumba – You’re a dancing queen and you deserve an outfit to match! The Nirvana Skort is super cute with contrasting colors and with high performance fabric and slits at each side to allow for extra movement this is the perfect skort to wear while you dance your heart out!

Bottom Line: Zobha Pants Are The Best

Thursday, April 25th, 2013

Let’s face it, with so many options out there for workout leggings, how do you know you’re getting the right ones? And what really makes a pair of leggings worth the price tag? We went straight to the experts, our Circle of Grace, and asked them what it is that keeps them coming back to Zobha leggings. Here’s what they had to say:

 

“They are simply the most comfortable pants I have ever worn in my life!” Lisa Rueff explained. As a humanitarian and yoga instructor who travels the world hosting yoga retreats and helping communities in need, Lisa finds herself decked out in leggings more often than not, and through all her travels, work outs and adventures, she lives in her Zobha pants! They don’t stretch out, they are incredibly comfortable, and they offer the support and coverage that fitness enthusiast (and legging enthusiasts) seek out.

Another Circle of Grace member, Jill Miller creator of Yoga Tune Up ® also spends a lot of time in her Zobha gear. Jill does a lot of filming for her Yoga Tune Up ® series, and she always wears Zobha because, “Zobha knows how to cut for a woman’s body, especially one with curves. My hips are never impeded by the fabric and the colors walk beautifully from the studio to the street.”

 

Now that you know which leggings to buy, the biggest question is what color will you order? Take it from the folks at YogaInHeels.com, phantom heather is the new black!

Bottom line – Zobha leggings are the best! Trade in an old pair and get $15 off your next Zobha purchase: Click Here.

How To Keep Your Performance Gear Looking Newer Longer

Monday, April 22nd, 2013

The Zobha design team works hard to give fitness enthusiasts far and wide access to high quality activewear that inspires them to push their limits and go the extra mile with every workout. Now we’re sharing a few tips so you can give your hard working fitness gear a shot at some extra longevity – care tips to keep your Zobha gear looking newer, longer:

  • Hand wash in cold water. It is recommended to wash Zobha gear by hand in cold water. However, if you must use a washing machine, be sure to set your machine to a delicate cycle, and be sure not to have any towels, denim, velcro, zippers, etc., in the machine with  your Zobha pieces.
  • Hang it up to dry. Line drying your Zobha pieces is the best way to ensure the longest lifecycle for your workout gear.

Hoping these tips will help you and your Zobha gear have many more happy workouts ahead!

Layers of Layers for Spring

Thursday, April 18th, 2013

Finally, after a long Winter it looks like Spring is finally here! It’s time to start packing away the heavy winter coats and break out your Spring gear, which means layers – lots and lots of layers!

Our taffeta jackets are perfect to get you through those in between weather days. They are light weight but will break the wind on a breezy day.

And for those rainy days, nothing beats the Hooded Rainy Day Jacket!

 

Happy Shopping!

Jamie’s Story

Monday, January 28th, 2013

I created Zobha while teaching yoga in Hong Kong where I lived with my husband and two children. I virtually lived in my yoga clothes but could never really find the perfect combination of fashion, elegance, and function in any of the fitness clothing lines. With my business background in apparel, I decided to stop saying “I wish there were” and do what moves me. Zobha was born.

Zobha is a Sanskrit word meaning “grace, beauty and brilliance,” in other words, everything I hoped the brand would be. I am proud to say, Zobha has brought these words to life both in our clothing designs and in our desire to give back to our community. 

I grew up on the coast of Maine, the daughter of a painter and sculptor and was inspired at an early age by the beauty around me both in Maine and later in Asia. You’ll notice these strong influences in the Zobha products you see today from the rich colors to the simple, elegant designs. 

At Zobha, it’s important to us to not only be the brand that creates beautiful and high-quality products, but one that builds community and philanthropy around meaningful causes. We know we are only as strong as the world around us. That’s why our performance gear is only as important as the world it performs in. Helping others. Giving back. Creating beautiful thoughtfully designed active wear. That is the grace of Zobha. And that’s what moves us.

With Grace,

JAMIE HANNA, Zobha Founder

 

Meet Alena – Our Zobha Guru!

Saturday, January 5th, 2013

Hi there,

My name is Alena and I work in the Zobha Corporate office as the Brand Sales Coordinator.  I am a fitness enthusiast and a true gym rat at heart.  I exercise 7 days/week and enjoy weight training, running, biking and tennis.  Over the course of a year, I have been privileged to wear many hats around the Zobha office and I’ve been recently dubbed the Zobha Guru.  My daily responsibilities include everything from Customer Service, to IT, to fit model and offering design input.  I’m excited to be a new contributor to the Zobha blog, so be sure to check back to hear more about what goes on behind the scenes at Zobha!

Whether I’m at the gym, in my pilates class, or on my Saturday morning hike to the coffee shop, I believe it is essential to look good and feel great while exercising.  I worship the Zobha Performance Tech Collection, and I am always sporting my Compression Capris.  The Endurance Jacket is also one of my top favorites and the Yoga Panties of course!  (PS. The panties are being offered in a new color this Spring so be on the lookout!)

Currently, I am training for the Napa Valley Marathon which takes place on March 3rd.  This will be my first marathon.  Outfit wise, I am planning on wearing our Zobha Hot Short and the famous Double Strap Tank.  But, we do have a new running short coming out very soon, so my selections are not finalized.  Decisions, decisions!

The new Zobha Spring Collection launches in less than two weeks and I cannot wait.  The color palette for spring is fresh and vibrant with a combination of cool and warm colors, and several new moisture-wicking fabrics for those drizzly Spring days.

This upcoming Spring Collection offers something for every fitness enthusiast and it was designed with our fellow cross-fit, tennis and running enthusiasts in mind, while maintaining its fundamentals in yoga and pilates.  You’ll see new fabric combinations and the incorporation of mesh in many products which sets the 2013 Spring collection apart from previous ones.

Check out Zobha.com around January 15th to be the first Spring shopper!  And visit our Zobha Blog around March 4th to gain the inside scoop on my first marathon, and what Zobha pieces I chose to wear :)

It’s been a pleasure sharing with you,

Alena

Wine Country Marathon

Friday, November 9th, 2012

Today’s blog post comes from one of our Circle of Grace members, Tammy Scott. Tammy has been in the fitness industry since she was 17 and has maintained her commitment to health and exercise over the years in various capacities. We’re thrilled to share one of her latest accomplishments with our Zobha community and hope it inspires you to take on a new challenge as well!

 

Hello Zobha Community-

As an active runner, cyclist and mom, Zobha is my daily go-to apparel.  Most recently I ran the Wine Country Marathon in Healdsburg, CA on October 27.  It’s imperative to have the right gear when running a race of that distance which is why I chose my Zobha performance tech infinity bra and the performance hot short.  I felt well supported and both pieces kept everything in place throughout the entire 4 hours and 24 minutes of my race.   The fabric has great breathability and wicks moisture very well, i.e. no chafing!  It’s hard to find active wear that has it all, comfort, style and is still technical enough to get the job done.

Tammy Scott, Zobha Brand Ambassador

Zobha and Kiddo! Host Yoga in the Square

Wednesday, October 31st, 2012

Dear friends of the Zobha community,

October was such an exciting month for us. One event that we are especially proud of took place on Saturday, October 20th, when Zobha and Kiddo! teamed up to invite the Mill Valley community out for the first, of hopefully many, “Yoga in The Square” events. Susan Hauser, Zobha Circle of Grace member and power yoga teacher at Red Dragon Yoga in Mill Valley, hosted the outdoor yoga class and led the crowd through an energizing power yoga class. People of all ages came out to join us, even those walking by for a morning stroll, to support Kiddo!

Following the yoga class, participants were invited across the street to the Zobha store for refreshments, goodie bags, and of course … shopping! Everyone had a great time and 15% of sales from the event went to support Kiddo! Nothing beats shopping for a good cause!

We were especially excited to kick off this partnership with Kiddo! in give back to the community we touch, as Mill Valley is very close to our hearts. We hope that this successful event may resonate among the local community and that their common desire to help others will further enhance the opportunity for local kids to explore what moves them.
