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.

Fall 2011 Must-Haves

Saturday, September 3rd, 2011

When it comes time to switch over your wardrobe from the summer to the cool days of fall, what are the must-have items you’ll be turning to when the cooler weather finally settles in? We selected 3 new pieces from our Fall 2011 Collection to get you started.

The Moda Jacket

Yoga Clothes

Love outdoorsy activities even in cooler seasons? If so, you are going to love the sporty, water-resistant Moda Jacket. This jacket is a combination of comfort, function and trendy design.

Water-resistant fabric will keep you dry where it matters and super soft performance fabric will keep you moving comfortably and warm at the same time. The 2 zippered side pockets with interior iPod pocket & velcro money pocket provides you with endless storage opportunities. In addition, they are made of Power Mesh, keeping you ventilated by wicking away moisture. But that’s not all, the hood is removable and there are thumbholes in the sleeve cuffs to keep your hands warm.

The Lightweight V-Neck

Yoga Clothes

Who doesn’t need a lightweight performance layering piece? It’s ideal for an indoor warm-up or a breezy outdoor run or hike, but also it’s great for running around and doing errands. It has an iPod storage pocket and extended sleeves with thumbhole openings, perfect for your active lifestyle! You will love the super flattering v-neckline and edgy shoulder panels. Longer in length hitting at your hips, the top will stay in place without riding up during your intense workouts.

The Soho Jacket

Yoga Wear

The Soho Jacket combines our extremely popular Rainy Day Jacket fabric, with our superior Performance Brushed-Back fabric. It’s edgy with a more feminine A-line silhouette, longer in the back for full coverage and shorter in the front for a trendy effect. Water – resistant fabric and zip-off hood call for the sporty but sophisticated look.

The Soho Jacket could easily replace your traditional trench coat. Pair it with leather boots and skinny jeans for the ultimate Fall look.

Meet Your Match: New Performance Tanks!

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

The Zoey Tank

Sister to super popular Scarlett Tank, the Zoey Tank features a high-neckline and a racerback showcasing toned arms and back. A slightly longer A-line fit in the torso elongates the silhouette. The shaped side panels are really flattering to the waist making you look sleek. Longer length hugs your hips and won’t ride up during workouts. It provides support and coverage where you needed.

For a casual, everyday look pair it with skinny jeans, cardigan and a pair of boots.

Yoga Tanks

The Kennedy Tank

If you are a fan of corset-inspired Greta Tank, you will love the Kennedy Tank with the similar style and fit. It’s longer, tailored to the shape of the body gently shaping the waist. Built-in hip panels accentuate all the right places and slim the body.

For a night-out look, pair it with a skirt and pumps.

Short Story: The Zobha Guide to Finding Perfect Shorts

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

Hot summer weather calls for the summer staple: shorts. Different styles and designs work on different silhouettes. Find your perfect short with this guide.

Yoga Shorts

The Ruched Pocket Short

This versatile short is perfect for yoga, gym training or simply for lounging. Match it with a cute Tee and flip-flops and hit the beach after your yoga class. Features intricate ruching details on the pockets and an adjustable drawstring. You will love the extra soft breathable and quick drying, Organic Cotton French Terry. The side pockets set the tone for the relaxed look.

See what others are saying:

“I LOVE these shorts! Just tried them out last week in a new class and they are not only comfortable, breathable and flexible, but they are ADORABLE (and they wash well). I’m back buying two more pairs before they sell out!”

“Best “cute butt” shorts of the summer and the colors are great too!”

Yoga Shorts

Bermuda Short

Hits just above the knee to provide just-right coverage. It features the straight, retro styling of a traditional Bermuda Short, but it’s made with our soft & comfy Organic French Cotton Terry fabric. You’ll never want to take them off!

See what others are saying:

“Perfect short for those who don’t like to show too much skin. Perfect fit, comfy and super soft.”

“This is such a great short to layer over the hot short when you are done with hot yoga! Or to wear to the beach on a day that’s too warm for long pants, but just cool enough to need the length!”

Yoga Shorts

Hot Short

Perfect for Bikram, running or beach volleyball. Performance fabric is fully breathable, able to hold shape and will keep you cool while you sweat. Provide support and allow freedom of movement. Flattering styleline on your hips highlights your body’s curves and will fit you like a glove.

See what others are saying:

“I love these Hot Shorts They are the perfect fit. I have had such a hard time finding the right shorts for my yoga practice in heated studio. Thank you,  Zobha.”

“This is a perfect pair of shorts for Hot Yoga or Bikram. I’ve also worn them under see through summer dresses. I have them in multiple colors.”

Yoga Shorts

Skort

Great combination of fashion and function. This sporty, yet feminine bottom is perfect for cycling, tennis, or yoga. It features stylish, soft shirring at the side waistband and functional fitted shorts underneath. It hugs your hips then flares out slightly in a flirty way.

See what others are saying:

“Just bought the skort. Love the length! Super cute and will get a LOT of wear this summer.”

“Without doubt, the best skort I’ve found to date. Fits like a dream. VERY flattering in the styling (angles down slightly at the back)…I have been looking for the perfect skort for years (live in them during the summers, teach Pilates, more flattering than shorts for me, great for hiking, etc). I’ve had two people stop me on the street to ask where I got my cute black skort.”

Yoga Shorts

The Relaxed Drawstring Short

This semi-fitted, lightweight short is super comfy, wearable all day in hot weather. Just put them on and no adjustments needed, no riding up or getting hot. Put them on and forget about them.

See what others are saying:

“These are really cute on without being revealing. They are a relaxed fit and I was worried about being tight. I needn’t have worried. My usual size 8 fit fine with these. Good quality fabric that doesn’t show every bump. Love them!”

How to Pick Your Perfect Capri!

Friday, July 15th, 2011

Finding the perfect pair of  workout pants is not easy. There are so many factors that make that perfect pair…..perfect. We all want them to fit right, be functional without sacrificing a flattering fit and style. To make your lives easier we decided to put together a guide to help you make the right decision and find that perfect pair. And what’s more perfect for the summer than the perfect capri?

Our performance bottoms are made of blended Supplex® and Lycra® fabric which is what helps the pants perform so well during vigorous activities while maintaining a soft feeling on the skin. The fabric dries fast after a workout  and they never lose their shape due to its moisture-wicking, breathable composition. A built-in panel, the gusset and carefully stitched flat-lock seams minimize itching and promote overall comfort.

Our pants are well-suited for many fitness activities as well as everyday wear.

Which is your favorite pair and where are you going to wear it to?

Yoga Pants

The Straight Leg Capri

Fantastic workout basic. Flattering slim fit with sexy low rise. Perfect for low-impact exercises.  They look great paired with a tunic or boots for an ultimate, versatile look.

Here is what our customers have to say about them:

“Some of the best capris on the market and the color selection is fantastic! I wear them for workout and under dresses”

“I’m obsessed with the straight leg capri… I’m serious about ordering a dozen. Just might break the bank but definitely worth it!”

“Best capris! Have several colors love them!! They are perfect for Ashtanga!”

Yoga Pants

The Ruched Capri

Slim fitting capri with ruching at the waistband and lower legs. Flattering, feminine design with the benefits of maximum performance.

Here is what our customers have to say about them:

“Perfect fit!! Great for vinyasa practice, stays in place!!! definitely one of my new favorites!!”

“Perfect fitted Capri! The rise is a bit higher and more secure, so I feel I can practice and run in these bottoms without feeling worried they’ll move around. The shirring on the hips and outer calves is so gorgeous!”

The Racer Capri

Looking for high performance bottoms? The Racer Capri is designed for intense workouts or running. Supremely functional. Features a hidden waistband pocket and flattering style lines. Fits tight on thighs leaving some room around the knees.

Here is what our customers have to say about them:

“I really LOVE these. just got mine in black. Makes me feel like I’m a little more “tucked in” than other capris – stays put when I run or do yoga.”
“Awesome fit…feel. I teach all day in these and workout in them. Perfect length. More variety please. Love them! Can’t say enough.”
“Love these capris. Wear them to run and for yoga. Can wear all day and they don’t loose their shape.”

Yoga Pants

The Evolve Capri

Gently fitted from waist to thigh. Smooth style lines run down the silhouette and finish in a slight flare, creating a sleek look that flatters the natural shape of your legs.

Here is what our customers have to say about them:

“This particular pant (as well as all of the Zobha pants) fit perfectly on my hips. No other yoga pant stays where I like it, usually too high, or too low. This is just right!”
“My favorite pants, fit great and flattering. Buying more!”

Hey Readers!

It’s me again, Rosemarie, and boy do I have some new info for you. Today I made my collage and put the finishing touches on some of my sketches (color) and bada bing bada bang, my work is on display in my office! Personally, I like the color, and my heroes (or my representatives) of my product are on the upper left poster. They represent being active and cute. That’s what I would need if I were shopping for clothes right now. Cute clothes but comfy so I can do stuff in them. Tell you more tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Rosemarie Vazquez
