LORNA JANE ACTIVE LIVING

LETTER FROM

LORNA JANE Follow me on Instagram @ljclarkson

S

ometimes you have to forget all the reasons not to and simply follow your dreams, and in 1989 I did just that.

I was just another wide-eyed girl with a dream but I discovered my passion in life was ACTIVE LIVING and

creating activewear that inspired others. Call me optimistic, foolish or both but one day I made a decision to wholeheartedly pursue my passion. Now as we celebrate 25 years of Lorna Jane I can say with confidence my passion for ACTIVE LIVING is as white hot as ever.

As an active at heart brand, Lorna Jane is dedicated to inspiring women to get more out of life by giving more of themselves every day. If you don’t know where to begin, here's what I've learnt along the way: stay true to your AUTHENTIC being, spend time with people you ADMIRE, go your own WAY, seize OPPORTUNITIES when they reveal themselves, when others go left - go right, never never NEVER give up, be an enthusiast, go at full speed and above all, become obsessively passionate about YOUR dream. I believe every person is born into the world to do something unique and distinctive and if you don’t do it, it will never be done. With that said, after months of sketching and fittings, I’m releasing a debut collection very close to my heart. Equal parts fit and fashionable, Uniquely Lorna Jane is designed for active women who know that style and athleticism go hand in hand (the new range of chic lifestyle pieces comes to life on page 16).

As Uniquely Lorna Jane becomes a reality, I’ve come to realise that our dreams say more about us than we’d ever reveal. Want to decode yours? Turn to page 30 and sit down with psychologist Kate Burbidge to start creating a life you love. Like I said, if there’s rules: shake ‘em.

Take Charlotte Dodson for example, the celebrity yoga teacher who swapped a career in advertising to share her holistic health practice with friends, fans and top models alike. Break from your dream weaving to bliss out with her morning yoga flow on page 13. Or if you need a spark of clean eating inspiration, flick forward to page 32 for laidback recipes by Bondi best mates Luke and Scott.

So let's get back to this dream you’re keeping all to yourself. Hold it, nurture it and unleash it into the world. The truth is, you’ll never be ready until you start. When you walk and talk your dream, it becomes very real – I know because I’ve lived mine for 25 unforgettable years.

Here’s to yours.

Find your passion & pursue it.

MORNING YOGA FLOW with

Yoga teacher to the stars (Miranda Kerr is her top pupil) We can be so busy with life - thinking (& doing) too much, all day. Yoga is a tool to help us keep our mind still & quiet. By focusing on your breath & practicing a few simple yoga moves for about 15 minutes every morning, you'll easily embrace your whole day with a newfound energy.

Complete this sequence in order - if you're feeling in need of an extra pick-me-up, try to perform it a few times during your day.

DOWNWARD FACING DOG (ADHO MUKHA SVANASANA)

This pose fully energises you & gives you vitality.

Hold & breathe deeply into the pose for 5-10 long, mindful breaths. If this feels too strong, you can drop to your knees at any time.

WARRIOR 1

REVERSE WARRIOR

(VIRABHADRASANA 1)

(VIPARITA VIRABHADRASANA)

You've got to strive for what you want & this pose will work all those leg muscles you forgot you had!

Please remember to breathe deeply & not to hold your breath. It can be a challenging posture, so focus your attention on a still object to help with your balance. Breathe deeply for 5-10 breaths.

This standing warrior pose builds strength in the legs, belly & upper body whilst giving you a boost of energy as you open up your lungs.

MNB

When you engage Reverse Warrior pose, you stretch the hips, inner legs and groin. Hold for 5-10 breaths.

ROLL OUT YOUR MAT: Get the yoga glow at movenourishbelieve.com

HIGH LUNGE TWIST

FORWARD BEND (UTTANASANA)

Twist, turn & unravel any of your problems! This pose gets into all those knots & tight areas, helping to alleviate any worries. Hold & breathe deeply for 10 breaths before repeating on the other side. Remember to be kind & not overstay in any pose - use your breath & inner strength to build power into your practice.

This pose lengthens your spine, soothes your spirit & allows you to turn inward. Just let your arms hang down & breathe deeply for about 10 breaths.

Step back into downward facing dog and repeat the sequence on the other side.

THIS MONTH, AUSTRALIA'S MOST LOVED ACTIVEWEAR BRAND CELEBRATES 25 YEARS OF ACTIVE LIVING. DESIGNER LORNA JANE CLARKSON MARKS THE OCCASION WITH THE LAUNCH OF HER NEW LIFESTYLE COLLECTION.

As an athletic mood infiltrates the street and the international runway circuit, modern women have infused their everyday wardrobe with a sense of energy and vitality. Whether it’s chic micro shorts, body-con separates or a soft rucksack slung over the shoulder, activewear is here to stay.

Of course, it wasn’t always so easy to adopt a sporty silhouette. Long before athleticism reigned supreme, the male-dominated fitness industry showed little interest in women’s clothing. Shapeless garments were all too common and fabric was a decidedly dull and lacklustre affair. Enter Lorna Jane Clarkson. Inspired by the ease of sportswear, the young designer cut her teeth with her bright aerobics pieces, creating leotards worn in the dance studio and beyond.

“COMFORT IS IMPORTANT TO ME, BECAUSE A WOMEN TRULY SHINES WHEN SHE FEELS CONFIDENT AND RELAXED.”

Uniquely Lorna Jane represents an equally unique way of life, best defined by Lorna's personal philosophy. As an Active Living advocate, Lorna believes that our day-to-day choices ultimately reflect how we will spend our lives. “Investing in your health, fitness and wellness is the most rewarding thing you can ever do,” Lorna says.

“Being active gives you the freedom to enjoy life – every single minute of it,” the designer explains. “It’s simple to add healthier rituals to your life, it might be something as easy as having a sports bra in your handbag or your running shoes under your desk at work so you're ready to move at a moment's notice."

Renowned for functionality and freedom of movement, Lorna’s fluid designs are the result of hi-tech fabrics and attention to detail. “I infuse every stitch with love and passion to create keepsake pieces for women to wear for years to come.”

After all, bespoke is in her blood. True to her active roots, Lorna cut and sewed her first made-to-measure garments for the women in her fitness classes.

She smiles at the memory of her original Lorna Jane pieces.

t liv ing you r dr eams

Each of us has 24 hours, 1440 minutes or 86,400 seconds to make the most of every day.

Am I the only one who feels the pressure to spend these seconds doing something meaningful?

To strive for more. To do more. To be more. Hmmm, my chest is tightening, palms sweating, throat is closing up… deep breaths Kate.

As someone with a reputation for biting off more than she can chew, I’ve often fallen into the trap of feeling compelled to be busy all the time.

This frantic cycle left me feeling unsatisfied, tired and about as happy as an ex-Disney star’s publicist. For many of us, we mistake busyness for success and happiness. In our quest for a better way of life, we push ourselves to prep every meal ahead of time and conquer our entire email inbox before bed. There’s a difference between being constantly busy and getting the most out of your life, with the latter being more enjoyable and satisfying. So, how can you create a life you love without feeling under the pump, stressed out or succumbing to the pressure of being the next Wonder Woman? You can easily banish that forever-busy feeling in just five steps (it’s that simple).

I love lazy mornings and drinking fresh juice at the market. I hate washing dishes. So, how do I spend my Saturday mornings after a hectic working week? At the markets and out of the kitchen for sure! I’m not advocating living in your own filth, but the world won’t crumble if you skip the vacuuming every once in a while. Will your greatest accomplishment be a fun-filled lifestyle or a bathroom floor so clean that you can lick it? Who wants to lick their bathroom floor anyway?

Want to get more out of your day? Go for a run, take a brisk walk or do a lunchtime workout in the office using your own body weight. Ever felt tired and less motivated after skipping exercise? It’s no coincidence! Slip on your favourite LJ outfit and get moving to boost your energy.

Here’s the thing – learning to love your precious self isn’t selfish. If you need convincing, think about your daughter, niece or younger sister.

Do you want her to love herself? Give yourself the same respect by modelling this positive behaviour first-hand. Showing love on a daily basis doesn’t have to take up too much time, but the rewards will last a lifetime. Buying your mum a bouquet of her favourite blooms? Buy yourself a fresh bunch too. Every day, write down one thing you like about yourself in your journal. Don’t have time for self-love? Well, let’s refer back to our daily allowance of 1440 minutes… 20 minutes doesn’t sound like much of a commitment anymore, does it?

And control what you can. We tend to waste time stressing about things we can’t control and wondering why we weren’t born with chiseled cheekbones. Life will become a whole lot sunnier when you accept that you can’t control everything, but you can control the way you think, feel and behave.

It’s important to stay positive when your well organised schedule spirals into disarray. Don’t let a spanner in the works ruin your day. If an urgent deadline forces you to skip your evening boxing class, why not swap the punching bag for a quick HIIT workout at home? Friends cancelled your weekly sushi date? Use the free time to grab a few nori rolls on the way home and call your sister. Or if you’re spending precious time waiting for your flat tyre to be fixed, start planning next week’s meals and grocery list.

Remember, you don’t have to be ‘run off your feet’ busy to get the most out of every day.

My goal is simply to be present, live in the moment and focus my energy on today.

Tomorrow is Future Kate’s problem.

BIRCHER MUESLI WITH MUDDLED BERRIES SERVES 2 This quick & easy recipe does require a little forward planning. The Bircher needs to be soaked overnight, but putting it together will take no time at all. This breakfast dish will excite your palate in the morning, with the tartness of the berries & the warmth from the spices.

BIRCHER MUESLI

MUDDLED BERRIES

♦

2/3 cup quinoa flakes

♦

1 cup strawberries

♦

1 cup almond milk (or water)

♦

1 cup raspberries

♦

Pinch of ground ginger

♦

1 teaspoon lemon juice

♦

Pinch of ground cinnamon

♦

2 tablespoons chia seeds

♦

Pinch of ground cardamom

♦

2 teaspoons chopped pistachio kernels, to garnish

♦

Zest of 1/2 orange, finely grated

♦

Pinch of sea salt

1.

Mix all ingredients for the Bircher together in a bowl (except the pistachios) & pop it in the fridge overnight.

2.

In the morning, wash & halve the berries.

3.

Using a fork, smash the berries together in a large bowl with the spices, orange zest & sea salt.

4.

Spoon the muddled berries into the muesli & sprinkle the pistachios on top.

OVEN BAKED SALMON, SPICED CAULIFLOWER & FENNEL INGREDIENTS SERVES 4 This is just one of those meals we never get tired of. It is easy, relatively quick & includes a generous serving of cauliflower, a vegetable not used often enough in Australian homes. A lot of people say they find it boring & bland, but once you’ve tried this dish, you’ll see the humble cauliflower in a new light – we guarantee it. Tuck in, guys!

1/2 cauliflower (about 400g), cut into small florets

♦

1 tablespoon sweet paprika

♦

Sea salt & ground black pepper

2 large fennel bulbs, trimmed, cored & thinly sliced

♦

4 x 180g salmon fillets, skin on

♦

1 tablespoon coconut oil

♦

2 eschalots, thinly sliced

♦

2 tablespoons pine nuts

♦

2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

♦

Juice & zest of 1 lemon

♦

2 tablespoons avocado oil

♦

1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley

♦

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1.

Preheat the oven to 220°C & line an oven tray with baking paper.

2.

In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, fennel, eschalots & garlic, then coat them with the avocado oil, cumin & paprika. Season with salt & pepper, spread out on the oven tray, & bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, until golden.

Keep an eye on the cauliflower so as not to burn the tips of the florets.

3.

Meanwhile, place a large frying pan over a medium to high heat, & fry the salmon, skin side down, in the coconut oil for about 2-3 minutes, until the skin is crispy & the fish starts to change colour. Flip & seal on the top, then remove from the heat.

4.

Once the cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven & give it a bit of a toss.

5.

Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C. Now add the pieces of salmon to the tray of veggies, crispy skin side facing up, & sprinkle with the pine nuts. Place the tray back in the oven for a further 5-7 minutes, until the fish is just cooked.

6.

Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice & a generous sprinkling of zest & parsley.

BABY KALE, ROASTED BEETROOT, BRUSSELS & WALNUT SALAD SERVES 4 This recipe bursts with healthy goodness. Packed full of superfoods, it’s guaranteed to please - plus it’s easy to make!

SALAD ♦

4 medium beetroots (about 500g in total)

♦

4 leeks, cut into 10cm pieces

♦ ♦

DRESSING ♦

3 tablespoons walnut oil (or olive oil)

Coconut oil, for frying

♦

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Sea salt

♦

1 teaspoon seeded mustard

♦

300g Brussels sprouts, quartered

♦

1 teaspoon maple syrup

♦

1/2 cup coriander, roughly chopped

♦

1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped

♦

3 cups baby kale

♦

1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes

1.

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Wrap the beetroots individually in foil & pop in the oven for 1 – 1½ hours. Remove from the oven when you can push a knife into the centre of the beetroots without resistance.

2.

Once the beetroots have cooled, remove the foil, then use a vegetable peeler to scrape their skin off. Cut into wedges & set them aside.

3.

Pop the leeks into a pot of salted water, bring to the boil, & simmer for 10-12 minutes.

4.

When the leeks are slightly soft, take them off the heat & drain the pot. Let them cool, then cut each piece into 3 smaller segments & set them aside.

5.

Melt a little coconut oil in a frying pan over a medium heat & pop in the Brussels sprouts.

Add a pinch of sea salt & keep turning the sprouts for about 3-4 minutes, until they begin to soften, then take them off the heat & set aside to cool.

6.

Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.

7.

Once the leeks & brussels sprouts are at room temperature, combine them with the coriander, baby kale & beetroot.

8.

Serve on a large platter & drizzle the dressing over the salad.

RAW RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE SERVES 10 Who says you can’t have your cake & eat it too? This dessert is so delicious & good for you as well. There is absolutely no dairy in this cheesecake, & no processed sugar. The sweetness is all supplied by fresh fruit. If you don’t believe us when we say how good this is, make it & see for yourself.

INGREDIENTS ♦

2 cups macadamia nuts, soaked overnight

♦

12 pitted dates

♦

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

♦

3 cups raw cashews, soaked for 2 hours

♦

Juice of 1 lemon

♦

1/2 cup rice malt syrup

♦

1/2 cup coconut oil, melted

♦

1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped

♦

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

♦

1 x 300g packet frozen raspberries, slightly thawed

♦

1/4 cup raw cacao nibs, to garnish

1.

Place the macadamias, 10 of the dates & the cinnamon in a food processor & mix until a wet crumb is formed.

2.

Line the base & side of a 20cm round cake tin with some baking paper, then pour the mixture into the tin & press down firmly to flatten it. Put it in the fridge to chill until it’s firm.

3.

To get the fake cheese mixture sorted, start by blending the soaked cashews, lemon juice, rice malt syrup, coconut oil, vanilla bean seeds & salt in the food processor. Blend it up so it’s really smooth – it should take around 5 minutes or so. You want the mixture to be light & fluffy. It should be a great creamy colour & free of lumps.

4.

Pour the cheese mixture into the cake tin on top of the base. To even out the surface, give the tin a few light taps on the bench.

5.

Finally, get started on your raspberry layer.

Put the berries & the 2 remaining dates in the food processor & blend until smooth. You may need to add a little water. Pour this mixture onto your cheese layer & smooth it out with the bottom of a spoon.

Sprinkle with the cacao nibs.

6.

Place the cake tin in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

7.

This cheesecake is best served just slightly thawed, so give it some time on the kitchen bench to soften before cutting.

Variation: Use any kind of berries you like.

We make this recipe using strawberries & blueberries too.
