“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” -Howard Thurman, PhD
Last week I introduced some fresh new styles to the free to be yoga tees® line for Fall, and I’m excited to share an in-depth look at each of the new tees with you.
The design I am most excited about is the new women’s v-neck long sleeve elephant ‘charitee.’ Made from organic bamboo (nature’s most sustainable resource) and organic cotton, the tee features a mama and baby elephant along with the Hippocrates quote: “The soul is the same in all living creatures, although the body of each is different." It’s available in sizes small through x-large.
My favorite part about this tee? Free to be yoga tees® will donate a portion of sales from each of the women’s long sleeve elephant ‘charitees’ sold to charities supporting the efforts to save elephants and prevent wildlife crime.
I recently read an article on TreeHugger.com that said: “Every 15 minutes, an elephant dies at the hand of a poacher. Last year alone, 36,000 African elephants were slaughtered for their tusks, to fuel the ivory trade. Unless something is done, elephants could become wiped out in the wild within the next 12 years.” Once that sunk in, I knew I had to make the next ‘charitee’ style all about the elephants. Even if it just helps create awareness and to get people talking about it, then I know I’ve made a difference.

Another addition to the Fall collection is a new women’s v-neck short sleeve shirt. The tee, in purely natural, is made from organic bamboo and organic cotton, and features a tree and the word “namaste.” Namaste is derived from Sanskrit and literally means “salutations to you.” The gesture represents the belief that there is a Divine spark within each of us that is located in the heart chakra, and is an acknowledgement of the soul in one by the soul in another. (Source: Wikipedia) This style is available in small through x-large.
I’m also very excited to add to the ‘free to be baby’ line! The new long sleeve infant one piece is made from 100% organic cotton, and comes in canary (which is great for a baby boy or girl)! The design, called “BEE the change,” features a happy little bumble bee and is available in 3-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-18 months and 18-24 months.
And last but not least, a free to be yoga tees® favorite, the unisex ‘Peace Love Detroit’ tee, is now available in shadow (black). Made from an organic cotton/RPET blend (RPET is recycled polyester made from recycled plastic bottles), this style has won over the hearts of many since it’s inception last fall. The ‘Peace Love Detroit’ tee ranges in size, from x-small to xx-large.

Namaste,
