Sometimes we get stuck in a rut: with relationships, with our diet, with our yoga practice. Every now and then, we need a kick-start to get a boost of fresh air or a spark of new energy.

Since it's officially springtime now (we had our first 80-degree day here on Sunday!), I'm ready to celebrate. And I've got an inspiring yoga wear company for you to check out. They're called Onzie.

This shop features not only high-performance gear that feels great to wear to the hot room, but it's also perfect for your trip to the beach, a swim at a neighborhood pool, even your favorite pilates class. When I first saw the site, the two thoughts that came to mind were:

Sweet! There's enough variety here so that everyone can find a fit that flatters and is comfortable. That way, the last thing on your mind while you yoga is what you're wearing. What you wear to yoga shouldn't be about impressing others or trying to look sexy, it should be about feeling great and not being distracted by your outfit!
Plus, getting one of these no-frills, sleek-lookin' outfits is kind of like an investment for your spring and summer, not just your yoga.

It's pretty rare that a product -- even a yoga one-- can make me feel that excited!

Which is the first reason why I realized Onzie is a rare gem. The second? When Kimberly, Onzie's President and and fearless leader, reached out to me and offered to collaborate through the blog, I knew this would be a great fit.

Beautiful yoga wear? Check. Kind heart and generous spirit? Double check.

Kimberly and the Onzie team quickly offered to donate gear not only to me to test, but also to each of the sponsored yogis who were interested in trying it out. In a matter of days, she had shipped leotards, shorts, capris, you name it -- all over the country.

And the sacrifice she made hasn't gone unnoticed. The team and I plan to blog about Onzie in the days and weeks to come, not only because we think it'd be a great idea for you to check out their shop and consider making a purchase... but mostly because Onzie's approach to yoga wear hits the mark.

As their web site reads:

At Onzie our philosophy is "keep your practice challenging, and your wardrobe simple!"

Onzie's no-frills one-pieces and separates are best worn while sweating, swimming, or simply lounging around. In keeping with the principle of being inclusive, rather than exclusive, Onzie is affordably-priced and suitable for all activities and practices.

I hope, as always, that you understand the top-priority goal behind any content published here at Alive in the Fire isn't to make a buck or sell a product, it's to help you better your yoga practice. Finding awesome gear is an important part of that.

As a blogger, it can often be hard to find a sponsor that matches happily with your writing goals and your blogging philosophy. I'm excited to announce that Onzie is a perfect fit here. Pun intended!
