Staff Pick: Be Present’s Kona Pant
Oleysa Tsurkina, RYT
Olesya’s favorite item in the GMY Boutique is the Kona Pant from Be Present. Be Present designs and manufactures clothing for the yoga lifestyle which is eco-conscious, breathable and most important comfortable during practice. Olesya loves the capri pants due to the “lightness” of the material. She says there is never any moisture related heaviness during an athletic yoga practice due to the breathable material. She also likes the versatility of the pants and wears her Be Present clothing in and out of the yoga studio. She has compared pricing with other yoga clothing companies and finds Be Present clothing is the best buy on the market.
Kona Pants are available at GMY in Island Blue for just $59.00.
Olesya began practicing yoga in 2005 while living in Japan. She began a consistent practice here at Green Mountain Yoga in the summer of 2007. She was inspired to enter teacher training at the Green Mountain School of Yoga and to deepen her practice by observing other more advanced yogis and seeing how yoga had transformed their lives and bodies.
Olesya teaches Power Yoga, the exhilarating Sunrise Yoga classes and Happy Hour Yoga.
Olesya’s philosophy:
“We have no limitations, the more you practice, the further you will come. Do your best, no more, no less.”
She encourages all of her students to try their best, never give up both inside and outside the yoga studio.
