HOW IT ALL BEGAN

I DISCOVERED YOGA 12 YEARS AGO

“Namaste Everyone” I’m Liliana, I am the founder of SoulMat.

I discovered yoga 12 years ago. Back then, I used to be a lawyer. In 2010, I decided to move to London and I had a very stressful life. Besides, I used to suffer from a chronic back pain due to scoliosis and hyperthyroidism which the family physician suggested me to treat with medication for all my life.

One day, a friend of mine took me to a hot yoga class, and I have to say it was just love at first sight! In only six months of daily yoga practice I balanced my hormones, and freed my body from pain. I was supposed to take medication, but I took Bikram Yoga classes instead.

Yoga literally changed my life in every aspect… and helped me to meet Ilan!

WHO IS ILAN ?

I MET ILAN DURING A PARTY IN SARDINIA

 I invited him to one of my “awakening body” yoga classes at 6.30 am. He was there as a student and well, we immediately clicked with each other. We started travelling a lot around the world, visiting different yoga studios. We fell in love and soon, we knew we were each other’s soulmate. We married in December 2020 in Seychelles during Covid time.

Ilan is a peaceful and happy person, a man of integrity, passionate about technologies. He’s been working in the IT field for the past 25 years, building successful start-ups in cybersecurity and in the Aerospatiale field. As part of his philosophy, described and published in his book “Fusion Experience”, he loves to combine different concepts to create synergies and multiply the opportunities. Right in the moment that we discovered our love and we felt deeply bonded to each other, we realized that we needed to do something to help others as well and expand this love.

2 YEARS TO MAKE OUR DREAMS COME TRUE

I MANAGED TO DESIGN THE PRODUCT I REALLY WANTED AS A YOGA TEACHER, AND A YOGA PRACTITIONER…

Ilan has a professional knowledge about new technologies, and he introduced me to Protkt, the official distributor of a revolutionary nanotechnology which could address our needs. Protkt is already used in the food industry, in hospitals and airline companies. It’s a product that you spray once a year on any surface that you want to treat, in order to be free from germs and bacteria. Combining this product with an eco-friendly yoga mat helps the Planet and you to be safe in your practice.

Protkt became our partner in the SoulMat project.

Together, we managed to design the product I really wanted as a yoga teacher, and a yoga practitioner feeling happy to be able to help others.
It is true that love unlocks doors and opens windows that weren’t even there before… That’s what it did for us.
