Where did Be-Yourself come from?

by Zelda Visser 15 Jun 2021

It all began with water skiing and when a lot of fun on a hot summer Saturday back in 2004 turned wrong. A freak accident nearly cost me my leg. The journey back to health changed my life, my dress code and led me from owning a clothing factory to where I am now – designing unique and beautiful “Art that you can wear™.”

After I was released from the hospital, I was introduced to Pilates as part of my rehabilitation. Twelve years later, in 2016, I sold my Pilates Studio to enter the fascinating world of fascia. By then, I was a Comprehensively Certified Pilates Instructor, a Master MvE® Instructor by Peak Pilates®, having done all my training in the USA and Thailand. I have worked with Bob Cooley on Resistance Stretching in Boston, completed Rolfing Levels I and II in Cape Town, and completed several short courses in fascia and fascia fitness in London and at the University of Ulm in Germany. Somewhere in this journey, I came to live in leggings - mostly.

Next came yoga. I completed 200 hours of Vinyasa training in Bali and 50 hours of Yin Yoga in Jakarta with Joe Phee. I practiced every day and, by now, was living in leggings - full time.

I owned more than 50 pair of leggings from every known and many unknown brands at one stage. Leggings became my “studio to streetwear” long before it became a fashion slogan.

I was ready to design my own.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
