The mother of all Activewear, Lorna Jane Clarkson, has been amassing a global following of women who have been continuously choosing the Active Living philosophy since 1989. And since then, the Lorna Jane brand has been keeping true to its creed, giving women all over the world the Activewear armour to pursue the Active Lifestyle.
In celebration of this creed, Lorna Jane Philippines has celebrated its third annual Active Nation Day in Manila. Active Nation Day is a global movement created by the brand’s founder, Lorna Jane Clarkson, in 2012 in order to inspire women, their families, their communities, and the world to live a more Active Life.
Held last September 25, 2016 at F45 Training in BGC under the leadership of owner Cheryll Karim, Lorna Jane Philippines designed an Active Nation Day that embodied all three Active Living philosophies that the Lorna Jane brand and icon stand for: Move, Nourish, Believe.
MOVE
Led by coaches Jan Llamado and Maverick Gomez, the participants for Active Nation Day experienced the Lorna Jane Functional Classes which consisted of body weight workouts and cardio exercises designed to build one’s resistance and strength.
To encourage participants to keep moving even after Active Nation Day–and make every day an Active Day– Zalora PH gave discount vouchers to all the participants so that they can check out the Lorna Jane apparel available on their website and purchase their everyday Activewear!
NOURISH
To ensure that the participants were well hydrated and provided with healthy food options, Vita Coco PH gave out packs of their coconut water to readily hydrate everyone after each workout, and Go! Salads provided everyone with a healthy, nutritious post-workout salad.
Not only did Lorna Jane Philippines ensure the internal nourishment of Active Nation Day participants, but also their outer nourishment as well. Seven lucky guests were randomly given discount vouchers from Skin Philosophie that offer a variation of services that help, heal, and nourish one’s skin.
BELIEVE
With the growing popularity and accessibility of the Internet, many women have been subject to unnecessary stress and sometimes, unkind words from strangers on the other side of the world, sitting behind computer screens and anonymous avatars. Not to mention the everyday struggles and hurdles they have to jump over each day because running the world isn’t easy. Which is why Lorna Jane Philippines made sure that on Active Nation Day, women didn’t forget to look inside of themselves and believe.
Led by yoga instructor Amanda Zabat, Urban Ashram Yoga led the Flexibility Not Required class in which all participants could meditate, reflect, and move without feeling like they had to prove themselves to anyone. Self-love and understanding was at the core of the class and allowed participants time to open themselves up to a better, more Active Lifestyle.
To continue on the path of self-love and understanding, Toni Nicolas, the founder of Health Junkie, spoke about her upcoming e-book about pleasurable weight loss and living a healthy and happy lifestyle in 5 ways, and Toni promised to send all the participants a link to her e-book, once published.
Active Nation Day 2016 in Manila was, without a doubt, one for the books. With women in Manila now inspired and strengthened to pursue an Active Lifestyle, all day, every day, we can only wait with bated breath what 2017 will bring.
See you there, ladies.
