She's designed yoga clothing lines for Puma, Nuala and Mohamula, has written a book (Living Yoga:Creating A Life Practice) and has developed a line of cosmetic treatment, Sundari.

Sundari is a word in Sanskrit that means "a beautiful woman" and this toiletroes are based in the principles of Ayurveda, a holistic sciencie and philosophy of life, health and longevity that defines health as the perfect harmony between body, mind and soul. As this doctrine points, stress or disease are caused by an external and internal disharmony, a blend of excesive use of body-mind activities and an inadecuate way of feeling and thinking. They add that the influence of human touch is also important because it enriches the early development of locotomotor and the nervous system.

In their opinion, the illness can be healed with special diets, head drop, massage, and meditation adapted to the constitution (Prakruti) of every person, that can be vata, kapha, or pitta. Considering this, Sundari divides its products in different categories, adapted to every need.
