The Zobha Grace of Giving Internship is an annual internship granted to a Headstand student. This year it was granted to Rosemarie Vazquez who will be sharing her experiences with us in her daily blog diary. Here is her blog from Day 1.
Hey Readers,
My name is Rosemarie Vazquez and I’m the new intern at Zobha. I go to school in San Leandro so going to Mill Valley and learning all this new business stuff is a new experience. I’m super excited though because on my first day I learned a bunch of new things and started on my project. For those of you who didn’t know, my project is to make a teen line of yoga clothes. I’m going to learn about managing a business, making the design etc…I’m not going to lie, I was nervous at first because I didn’t know what to expect, but now I’m just excited for tomorrow.
Tomorrow I’ll be putting together a collage and making some sketches. By the end of this week, I’ll be a grade-A business woman who knows how to design and how to manage a business AT THE SAME TIME.
Memorial Day Weekend and the official start of summer is just around the corner! That means it’s time to lose layers, jump into flip-flops and hit the beach. Whether you’re snorkeling in Hawaii, cycling across the country, attending a pool party in The Hamptons or practicing yoga in Maya Tulum, we’ve got you covered on the latest fashion trends. Read on for must-have outfit options for every occasion.
For maximum comfort wear the classic, loungey Wide Leg Capri with one of our bestsellers, the modern and chic Naomi Tank in summer Iris/Hibiscus or the elegant Vera Tank in bold Hibiscus. Accessorize the look with Performance Headband.
Wear the feminine Ruched Capri with our signature top, the Grace Tank in Black/Hawaiian Ocean, or switch it to the Julia Tank in mysterious Blue Papyrus.
And last but not least, mix and match the Racer Capri with the flattering Grace V Tank or the Lizzie Tank in Iris to accentuate your silhouette in all the right places. Add the Performance Headband to finish off the look.
Just as things are warming up, our Summer collection is here. We couldn’t be more excited about new Zobha styles and colors! We thought we’d help you decide on a perfect fitness summer outfit and mix and match your favorite separates. Which look speaks to you?
Summer Sporty
Julia Tank, in new Summer Black/Iris. Evening wear inspiration but with performance-minded construction, the adjustable dual straps balance the asymmetrical cut for both style & support.
Asymmetrical Zip Hoodie in new Iris/Black color would be the perfect addition to your wardrobe! Who doesn’t need a hooded sweatshirt with a little style?
Ruched Pocket Short in Calypso Coral/Iris. The perfect length for warm weather, this short is ideal for hitting the beach or on the way to the studio. Featuring intricate ruching details on the pockets.
Let’s not forget accessories. They can make an outfit. Zobha Manduka eKO Lite® Yoga Mat, environmentally-friendly, lightweight mat, is made of natural tree rubber. Perfect for those who want to make a commitment to our planet and take their yoga practice on the road.
Urban Chic
One of our new classic pieces, Christie Tank, in new White and bold Blue Papyrus Summer print. The simplistic styling looks great on every shape, and the scooped front and back necklines flatter everyone.
Ruched Capri, in new Hawaiian Ocean, features shirring at the waistband and lower legs, it’s both flattering and feminine.
Transform this look from fitness wear to street wear by throwing on the Perfectly Draped Tunic. The tunic drapes beautifully over the shoulders and emphasizes a shape flattering, asymmetrically-cut silhouette.
Tired of wisps of hair falling into your face during your workout practice? Our Performance Headband in new Blue Papyrus print might solve this problem.

Zobha was busy shooting Fall 2011 Collection last week. The photo shoot was fabulous and we couldn’t wait to show a few behind the scenes photos. Can you tell we are very excited to share the collection with you? Stay tuned!
Jill Miller, Zobha Circle of Grace Member, yoga and fitness therapy expert and the creator of Yoga Tune Up®, recently shared her yoga story and her favorite Zobha pieces with us. Over the next 3 days, she will also share with us all level yoga tips. So stay tuned for more to come!
The Yoga Tune Up® program, created by Jill Miller, is practiced using a set of exercises, poses and specialized techniques that will increase your body’s overall strength, improve the immune system and relieve pain and stress.
Zobha: How did you start your yoga journey?
Jill Miller: I grew up in Santa Fe, NM in a solar home off the grid. While my parents were not hippies, I was surrounded by them and knew about yoga and meditation. At age 11, my mom brought home the Jane Fonda Workout and the Raquel Welch yoga videos and I became OBSESSED with them, racing home everyday from school to do them. First with her, and then on my own after she grew bored. Soon after I got a subscription to Yoga Journal and found my first teacher at age 16. The rest is a much longer story!
Zobha: What are your Zobha favorite pieces?
Jill Miller: My two favorite tops are the Grace V Tank and the Amelia Tank. Here is why they work so well for me:
Grace V Tank – Colors are always incredible, the cut flatters my bust, and it feels distinctly feminine and looks great in pictures (always a consideration with me…). The fit is also around my ribs. It transitions well to the street, and captivates my husband’s eye every time!
Amelia Tank - Love my first top in Geranium/Black (and my new all black as well). This top really holds and fits me well and the sleekness of the fabric makes it feel lightweight, and it wicks away sweat quickly. I like that it has big windows at the shoulder blades so students can completely see my shoulders in action when I demo shoulder-focused Yoga Tune Up® poses. I also LOVE my Single Button Jacket in Prism/Violet. It is so flattering and makes me look dressed up no matter what I am wearing underneath!

It looks great thrown over a tank top, any workout pant or even jeans. It comes in Black, Midnight Blue and in a true pop of color for Spring, Hollyhock.

Zobha Bottoms
I absolutely love the Zobha Yoga Flared Pant. They feel amazing during yoga practice. they move with me and I never have to worry about adjusting them while I am practicing. Plus, they are flattering and great to wear everyday when running errands or just lounging around.
Zobha Top
The Marilyn Tank in Tangier Pink is one of my favorite Yoga tops. It is so comfortable to practice in, and I absolutely love the 360 shelf bra. It provides great support, and performs even in the sweatiest classes. Plus the Tangier Pink is so vibrant, it instantly makes me happy when I put it on.
Zobha Layering
The layering piece I cannot live without is the Asymmetrical Ruched Pullover. The cotton is unbelievably soft, and feels amazing on my skin. On top of that, it is incredibly flattering. I receive compliments on it every time I wear it. The greatest thing about this yoga top is that it is light enough to practice in, and versatile enough to pair with jeans and wear out on date night. I wish I had one in every color!!
