"The idea for our YOGA collection was inspired by the deep practice that has slowly become a part of my life. I have been practicing yoga for 20 years, 5 of which led me to the Himalayan Yoga Tradition, where I have participated in a wonderful self-transforming training for the past 3 years." - interview with Sarolta Kiss, founder and owner of the NONPLUS brand.
What does yoga mean to you?
- “Yoga - samadhi”. For me, it is the art of joyful living. A path that is an uninterrupted flow of spiritual knowledge - and that helps the life of everyone - who embarks on it - with tools that are based on deep experiential methods.
What does the Himalayan Yoga Tradition mean to you?
- The quiet, meditative, calm and slow flow of Himalayan Yoga practice gives me a deep and joyful calm every day - I think I have always been looking for this inner peace and I came to experience it through the guidance of the Tradition. I have been practicing yoga for 20 years, 5 of which led me to the Himalayan Yoga Tradition, where I have participated in a wonderful self-transformation (Teacher Training Program) training for the past 3 years . I have found home in the Himalayan Tradition - a community where I am surrounded by a loving and caring family.
What is your personal experience with practicing?
- On the wonderful path of yoga, through your own experience - through deep practice - comes that inner peace, calmness and serenity - which makes everyday life more stable and joyful and which slowly shapes and " brings you closer to yourself - slowly, step by step, softly, silently, from the outside inward."
What inspired the yoga collection?
- With the yoga collection, our goal was to gently support stillness, slowing down, letting go and relaxation on the physical level - and beyond - through our yoga clothing and equipment, as well as our yoga classes and events. The slow, quiet practice helps you withdraw from the stimuli of the outside world, aiming to achieve a deep meditative state of consciousness, where the mind is joyful and calm.
How are NONPLUS and YOGA connected in your life?
- With the NONPLUS brand, my goal has always been to emphasize inner values, instead of external ones. Simple, clean, comfortable clothes support this. If there is no “noise” on you, but you are just yourself - in your humble, puritanical reality - then it is real. You don’t need much. You don’t need more. Because there is nothing better than the perfection of simplicity. For me, this is NONPLUS. In these clothes, you can naturally be yourself - clothes are a tool to express yourself - and there is no need to behave or show anything other than who you are - and this is what yoga is all about. About the inner silence in which you can experience who you really are by lingering. Perfect harmony. Perfect reality - and there is nothing more joyful, pure and beautiful than this. This inner treasure is what we are looking for. Our true selves - NONPLUS helps with this, YOGA supports this - the two are actually one. This is me, and I do my job with the greatest love, attention and helpful intention. I give what I am - to those who are open to it. I am grateful that I can do what I love.
What yoga events do you have planned?
- Our yoga events are different - there will be group practice, full moon meditation and there will be thematic afternoon practices with a snack and an invited “speaker” - that is, a conversation partner - with whom I will talk about self-knowledge / sustainable living / fashion or design - but it may also be about facial care, our body or even healthy nutrition. The goal is to experience inner peace - that's why it was called #dailyplus. flow towards yourself , because this is the little daily + that is necessary to be in balance - and this is helpful for everyone.
- I often say that what I received from the Himalayan Yoga Tradition - knowledge, tools, "map" that was given to us during the training - taught me to live again. It taught me to look at myself, the world and every blade of grass in it differently. A MIRACLE. I would like to share this miracle with you. With love, humility, faith - with a joyful inner smile. :)
