12 Questions with Myrah and Robindra about integrating yoga, marriage, entrepreneurship, and parenthood."

I had a chance to catch up with a local magazine in Edmonton called Bridal Fantasy. They interviewed Robindra and I about how we navigate yoga, home, marriage, entrepreneurship, and parenthood. I hope you enjoy.

1. Describe your personal style and how it reflects on your day to day.

Myrah: My personal style is eclectic and bohemian. Since my pregnancy and postpartum life, my day to day is constantly changing. I wear all white clothing most of the time from my own collection. Wearing all white makes me feel light and graceful. On the days I haven’t slept, those are actually the days I most deliberately get dressed and ready, even if the plan is staying home with baby.

Robindra: For me, style is more about how I do things versus what I am wearing. Style is a choice we make every day about how we are choosing to live. True style is presence.

2. Tips on curating a small home space?

You want to create a living space that inspires you. I love plants and our space is designed to feel like a sanctuary. Let your bedroom be a sanctuary. Take out as much technology as possible. Small spaces need to be kept up so that when you wake up each morning you are living in a fresh canvas.

3. Your most treasured items?

Myrah: My Sandstone kettle for my morning tea meditation. Himalayan crystal salt lamps, Persian carpets, and plants to warm the space.

Robindra: My Vitamix blender, a proper chef’s knife, and a Marshall wireless speaker to play the soundtrack of our day.

4. Why is yoga so important to you?

Myrah: Yoga gives me a pathway to escape the prison of my ego, thoughts, and mind. It constantly gives me access to freedom, space, and joy in my body and in the expression of everything that I do.

Robindra: Yoga begins way before you get on your mat. I recently heard a definition of Ahimsa that really landed: “To be so full of love that there is no room for anything else.” That is yoga for me. The second limb is Satya, truthfulness. When you say you are going to do something and actually do it, you begin to trust yourself at the core.

"To be so full of love that there is no room for anything else." — Robindra

5. Please describe some misconceptions about yoga.

The biggest misconception is that yoga is all about the physical practice. Yoga begins before you even get on a mat. People think they have to be flexible enough or good enough. We live in a consumer culture where everyone is seeking more. Yoga is simply a practice of returning to yourself.

6. Advice for aspiring yoga teachers, entrepreneurs, and dreamers?

Robindra: Slow down to speed up. Before you go full speed in any direction, slow down and get connected to what lights you up. Once you find your why, it is much easier to constantly create from an inspired place. Make your business not about money, but about a way to impact the world. Our why is that we want more people to bloom, to be fully lit up.

Thank you for reading.

With love from Bali,
Myrah & Robindra
