Dear Julia, you have been online with juYogi.com since 2014. How did you come up with the idea of starting a blog?
I love sharing my joy of life and motivation with other people and, ideally, infecting as many people as possible. Yoga has changed me and my life a lot - that excites me and I want to share this experience with as many people as possible.
What topics do you write about & what inspires you?
I mainly write about yoga and nutrition. There are various posts and videos about yoga exercises, as well as weekly recipes. I also deal with the topics of travel, sustainability and spirituality. Through yoga and meditation I find my center again, find inspiration and gain better body awareness. That's why I pay more attention to myself - whether it's a healthy diet or exercise.
In your blog you introduced OGNX as a label for sustainable yoga fashion. First of all, thanks for the compliment :) How did you come across OGNX & what do you like so much about the label?
I first came across OGNX through Yoga Journal magazine. And what caught my eye straight away were the great designs! There is a lot of yoga fashion now, and you can also find some brands when it comes to sustainability. But what I - as a graphic designer - often miss are beautiful, modern designs! OGNX is bold, colorful and modern! And that's exactly my style too!
When and how did you get into yoga, how intensively do you practice it, what does your practice give you?
I found the mat for the first time in November 2013. I feel like yoga has always been a part of me, just waiting to be discovered. It wasn't until the summer of 2014 that I really started working on it intensively. And since then I've usually been practicing yoga three times a week. Sometimes more often, sometimes less often!
Yoga gives me so much. I can draw energy, practice calmness, or simply switch off and relax. No matter what attitude I go into the yoga class with, by focusing specifically on myself, I reach a state of contentment and liberation. And every day anew!
What is special about your blog, what sets you apart from other bloggers?
Especially in Austria, there aren't too many blogs dedicated to the topics of yoga and nutrition. I try to wrap the topic of yoga in a lot of colorful joy of life and write each of my posts with enthusiasm. I love what I do and I want to pass on this positive energy to my readers so that at least a small part of this world becomes more positive and colorful! :)
JuYogi - a blog for happy hearts and healthy souls!!
Thank you very much & good luck for the future! :)
