Underwater Yoga with Lululemon

There are plenty of places out here to practice yoga that will blow your mind, from skyscraper rooftops to desert haven’s and even on a boat out at sea, but this one just set a new bar. Not satisfied with having a cool studio to do yoga in, Piloga instructor Allie McLaughlin brought her strong vinyasa flow to a new level, underwater to be exact. Supported by the amazing team at Lululemon, the session was hosted last Saturday morning in The Dubai Mall‘s famous Aquarium tunnel.

So practicing Savasana surrounded by sharks has got to be one of my all time favourite ways to meditate, although it’s pretty hard to keep your eyes closed the entire time and you can forget about focus… all the while, filtered through a beautiful blue light, you gain a sense of clarity and energy that just isn’t there in a white four walled room.

If it’s something that appeals to you too, they have plenty more sessions coming up… book here!

Why We’re Going Barmy for Balmain’s Fashion Army

H&M is known for bridging the gap between affordable and luxury fashion, and its latest collab has everybody talking. This Autumn, as you’re all aware, it launches its latest foray into the world of couture, teaming up with the Parisian house of Balmain. Founded in 1945, Balmain has been making more international waves of late under the enigmatic and exciting young Olivier Rousteing, who proclaims to design for a younger, much more trendy audience, than fellow fashion houses.

Rousteing’s collaboration with H&M is furthering their global appeal online by creating the #HMBALMANATION community. And anyone who’s anyone wants to be part of it. From famous friends like Kendall Jenner and Jourdan Dunn starring in the campaign, to rocking the looks on the Billboard Music Awards red carpet, this digitally led fashion army is gaining momentum. The collection itself has impressed us. Not stealing away from its signature rope decals, pearl and gilded designs, Rousteing has made sure that he keeps the H&M collection completely true to Balmain’s heritage.

I want to talk to my generation: this is my main aim as a designer. H&M allows me the unique possibility of bringing everyone into the world of Balmain, getting a piece of the dream and creating a global #HMBalmaination: a movement of togetherness, fuelled on a hashtag. The collaboration felt extremely natural to me: H&M is a brand that everybody connects to. It calls for unity, and I am all for it, says Olivier Rousteing
