The Art of Yoga

Yoga is an art form in its own right, an expression of self through movement and meditation. The connection between art and yoga is the shared ability to awaken creativity and self-expression, making each practice a journey of self-discovery and transformation.

WHO WE ARE

ilāSTRATE™ Yoga Mat Design Co. was born of the belief that art strongly influences our psychological well being. We are generally not aware of this connection.

Art, the great communicator, touches our spirit and influences our emotions, inspiring thought, sparking our imagination and motivating us into action. The ability to think creatively and use our imagination diminishes with age or may be taken for granted.

At iláStrate™, we believe that imagination is the KEY to unlocking true connection to the higher self, accessing source intelligence and awakening the soul. Surrounding ourselves with inspiration and creativity keeps the imagination alive and inspires action, allowing us to flow in sync with our true soul purpose.Utilizing art as a tool to enhance yoga, meditation and mindfulness practice as a lifestyle, we embody our full mind-body-spirit potentiality.

OUR MISSION: Inspire movement to self realization through creative expression.

Having navigated a diverse career, from art consulting in the healthcare industry to automotive airbrush artistry, Lauren discovered the profound impact art has on well-being. Beyond aesthetics, she realized art holds the key to our subconscious, influencing mood and mindset.

Motivated by her own health journey, a newfound connection to yoga and meditation, and firsthand insights into the healthcare system, Lauren explored alternative health and healing solutions. On a quest for positive change combined with her expertise in fine arts, graphic design, and printing, she discovered the transformative link between art and inner healing.

Lauren sees art as a spiritual catalyst, fostering healing on a profound soul level. By bringing her beliefs to life, she crafted artistically designed yoga products, giving rise to the embodiment of her vision―ilāSTRATE™ Yoga Mat Design Co.

As a native New Yorker, wife, and homeschooling mother of three, Lauren finds solace on the Eastern North Fork of Long Island, where her love for the beach and all things natural inspires her artistry.

I absolutely love my new cork yoga mat! It makes me so happy! I used it today for the first time and it was great for my hot yoga class. Also, got some lovely compliments. I am already thinking about which design I would like for the future. It gives me serenity! Lauryn was so easy and accommodating to work with. I highly recommend buying one of her works of art.
