She Found Judaism and Built a Modest Athleisure Brand | Transcendent Active

What happens when a woman’s journey to Judaism takes her life in an unexpected direction? Aja Cohen, founder of Transcendent Active, shares her journey from growing up in an Italian Catholic family to embracing Orthodox Judaism and building her own modest athleisure brand. Cohen discusses how an Israeli boyfriend introduced her to Judaism, the Rosh Hashanah experience that changed her perspective and what drew her to Jewish traditions, Shabbat and family life. She also shares how leaving corporate fashion led her to pursue a new path. After being laid off in 2019, Cohen launched Transcendent Active, creating comfortable, modest clothing for women whether or not they work out or are Jewish. From her signature mesh skirt to a growing lifestyle collection, her mission is to make modest athleisure accessible to anyone who wants more coverage without sacrificing comfort or style. She also discusses the brand's growth and her upcoming five-day pop-up in Teaneck, featuring shopping, community events and a fashion show.
