Wear Your Intention
Inspiring women through intention-based wearable art.
Kristina Benson Art - Vancouver Fashion Week 6 Minute Runway Video
When women are inspired to feel unique, beautiful, and most importantly loved, this positive energy affects their family, their connections, and their community.
My name is Kristina Benson and my hope is to inspire millions of women. Since launching Kristina Benson Art in 2016, I have seen how my unique, intention-based artwork can truly inspire and empower. My customers do not simply wear my art, they wear their intentions. These yoga leggings, kimonos, and scarves offer a glimmer of that radiant hope and the divine love found in all of us.
In this era of mindfulness, we know the power of positive affirmations and the joyous ripple effects it can have on those around us. Each design encompasses a self-affirming mantra such as, “You are loved,” “Surrender,” “Amidst the storm, I have overcome,” and “The best is yet to come.” I create colourfully complex, multi-media art in my studio—on canvas, by illustration, through the lens—and then these words are literally woven into the fabric of the design.

Yoga Leggings
Our yoga leggings are a way to work out in comfort. Our fabrics stretch with you and won't give up. The separate, high foldover waistband gives you more versatility.
TWO DIFFERENT WAISTBAND STYLES:
What’s the big difference between our yoga leggings (this page) and our regular leggings? The waistband!
This page includes the double-fold waistband leggings, versus our classic high-waisted elastic waistband leggings. Both waistbands will 'keep you in' from XS to XL. Our customers sometimes prefer one or the other -- and yet other customers order both because they can't feel much of a difference. The classic waistband sits approximately 1/4" lower than the yoga waistband and quite often hits below the belly button, depending on torso height. Stitched in place with our elastane threads, your leggings are secure and ready to stretch with you. View this page to see the waistband difference. >

My Story
CREATING ART
And designing this art onto Yoga Leggings, Capris, Scarves and Kimonos
Kristina Benson completed a bachelor’s degree at Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, British Columbia. She is an award-winning graphic designer with over 10 years of owning her own design firm (Dansk Design Group) in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada.
Kristina’s love of being active is as much part of her, as her art is. Serendipitously, she found a way to combine these two. In addition to continuing to design, she has re-entered the art world in a more truer sense of the form. An artist creating – Art with Intention – her pieces are inspired from her soul.
Starting with a single brushstroke, an image of inspiration or words true to her heart – each of her original artworks is part of a very real story, now reflected as a unique piece of Wearable Art. Whether it's love, light, peace, serendipity or surrender that you connect with, let these leggings, capris or yoga leggings be a reflection of your personal journey.
Wrap yourself comfortably in this art and wear your positive intentions. Because we are all unique and beautiful – and deserve to feel that way, every day.
Each unique, vibrant composition is a beautifully crafted piece of artwork that becomes truly dynamic whether worn for Yoga or simply ‘being’.
