It is not the coïncidence if MAHALA ESSENCE is founded by a woman : the French yoga teacher Ambre Boukebza. « My discovering of yoga transformed my whole life. While I was learning Bikram, the idea of creating a brand struck me, I needed a technical, comfortable and sharp wardrobe to hold my 26 asanas under 42°C », she explains.

Ambre Boukebza teams up with her husband Laurent Israel (More than 20 years of experience in fashion and textile industry : Dior homme, Ralph Lauren, Lacoste, Louis Vuitton).

The clothes are designed by a collective of young creatives fond of sports, music, photo, street art and yoga of course !
