Sustainable Activewear

As Wearable Art

inspiring movement

& Love of Nature

by Anna Sunderland Engels

(aka “Sunny”)

I created Sunny Get Up as a fusion of my passions - photography, yoga, mindfulness, sustainability, and the great outdoors.

Each Sunny Get Up item is a unique work of art from my nature photography. For each of my designs the photograph is flipped upside down, so when you go upside down (like in a handstand) the image comes to life. Beautiful from any angle, they inspire creative movement and encourage you to get UP!

My hope is that this joyful activewear will inspire you to get up, get moving, get outside, and get engaged. So if you’re feeling down or sluggish, put on your favorite getup as a reminder that

you are part of the earth, you belong here,

and you can shift your perspective

through focused attention

and intentional action

to make a difference.

There is so much beauty in our natural world, let’s do what we can to really see it, and then take action to protect it.

Why not start with sustainable activewear and planting trees?

Get Moving, Get Outdoors

Sunny Get Up is a fun and happy outfit (sunny getup) and an inspiring call to action (sunny get up!)

Get on your yoga mat, get on your hands, go hiking, biking, swimming - connect with your body, your breath, and the natural world.

Wake Up to Nature’s Beauty

You are not just standing on the earth. You are a part of it and it is a part of you. Embody the elements.

Each of my designs highlights a different element of nature so that you can embody them in your practice. Don your favorite getup as a reminder to tap into your own grounded strength, fluid mobility, fiery core, spacious heart, and clear mind.

Shop Sustainably & Plant Trees

Your purchase makes a difference - I plant 10 trees for every item I sell by donating to One Tree Planted

When you wake up and realize that everything is interconnected, you begin to recognize your own responsibility for taking care of each other and our planet. You see that the true bottom line is not just about price, but also process, and want to give back to the earth. Do you know where your clothes came from? Were they made ethically? Were they made with sustainability in mind? Shopping at Sunny Get Up will give you peace of mind with transparent sustainability and social responsibility practices.

Sunny Get Up is the creation of Dr. Anna Sunderland Engels. Nicknamed “Sunny”, Anna is a photographer, yoga teacher, clinical psychologist, co-founder of Yoga Lab Studio in State College PA. She loves spending time in nature, hiking, swimming, and traveling the world, capturing moments of beauty with her camera. Her yoga teaching focuses on mindfulness, interconnectedness, sustainability, alignment and functional movement, and compassionate action, on and off the mat. She also has a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, and her clinical interests and academic research focus on stress, anxiety, depression, and their associated patterns of brain activity. In 2013 she shifted her career from brain imaging research to focus on yoga full-time, following her interest in experiential approaches to improving health and wellness. She created all of the Sunny Get Up designs from her photography of the great outdoors to raise money to plant trees. She hopes these getups will inspire people to get up, get moving, get outdoors, and get involved in causes they care about.
