The Two Wolves Inside Me
Yoga and powerlifting don’t look like they belong together.
One is quiet, slow, intentional.
The other is loud, heavy, and occasionally unhinged.
This week, as I was sliding plates onto a bar, I asked myself, Who does this?
What if I miss this lift?
Should I find a spotter?
And then I thought — it’ll be fine. There aren’t many aches I can’t fix on a yoga mat.It’s like the story of the two wolves.
There’s the calm, regulated wolf who flows.
And then there’s the swolf — screaming to go heavier.
I feed both.
And that’s exactly why BPS has two core lines.
Sthira was built for stability.
Compressive. Sensory-safe. Made from recycled performance materials.
It doesn’t roll. It doesn’t shift. It doesn’t distract you mid-flow or mid-set.
Comfy exists for a different kind of regulation.
100% cotton. Soft. Breathable. Reduced nervous system load when the bar feels heavy.
People message me saying they’ve worn it for three days straight.
Yoga and powerlifting regulate my nervous system in opposite ways.
But both require intention.
And neither should be disrupted by what I’m wearing.
If you train both wolves — or even just one — your clothing should work with you.
Explore Sthira for compression and conscious construction.
Choose Comfy when softness and simplicity matter most.
Your body does enough work.
Your clothes shouldn’t create more.
