Stereotypes, gender roles, and social misconceptions riddle the world these days with society dictating what we can, or cannot do.
“Guys can’t do yoga,” “Shorter people can’t play basketball,” “Woman can’t be tough.”
These are the kinds of walls that we as a contemporary society are trying to break down, and show the world that anyone is capable of anything. That is what this campaign is all about.
**EVERYONE LEGALLY MUST BE OLDER THAN 25 YEARS OF AGE
BASKETBALL PLAYERS: (age 30-45) Male – Real and experienced basketball players short and tall ballers alike. Those that have been playing ball throughout their life and have the skills to back it up.
BOXERS: (age 30-40) Male & Female – A boxer than knows the sport inside and out. They not only enjoy it as a form of exercise, but also have grown to love its competitive side.
YOGI: (age 55+) Male & Female – A Yoga enthusiast that has the knowledge of the mind and body – and the skills to back it all up. Their pursuit of yoga knowledge has them mastering a wide number of complex poses.
