Our Story

Kathmandu Yogi is a Chicago-based social enterprise that produces limited edition yoga and meditation accessories, ethically made by artisans living in Nepal.

Our signature cushions and yoga bags are not only beautiful, well-made, and functional but also make a human impact. We want to connect you with the person who made your products and the place that they come from.

As a fair trade company, we are committed to the well-being, satisfaction, and personal development of all individuals, not just the ones that consume our products.

We work exclusively with trade partners that share these core values.

Kathmandu Yogi was founded with a strong wish that the company’s activities would benefit many, promote cultural exchange, and foster conscious development.

At Kathmandu Yogi, we make more than yoga bags, meditation cushions and prayer beads.

We make human connections that bridge an 8,000 mile geographical gap.

What people are saying about us ...

My meditation cushion is fantastic, very comfortable and well made. I also purchased a mala necklace which I love. Both of these items are wonderful aids in meditation and it is wonderful to know their partnership is providing jobs for women who would otherwise be struggling to find work and support their families.....

I needed something to start meditating and Kathmandu Yogi's cushions are perfect. At first I fell in love with the beautiful brocade cushions ... then I fell in love with the mission. I've spent time in magical Nepal and knowing how much Natasha worked to raise money after the earthquake made me loyal for life!

I've purchased a number of products from Kathmandu Yogi.

The cushion is beautiful and comfortable, and I love using the mala I purchased! This company does good things, and it is so good to know where my products are coming from, that they are truly fair trade and are a direct connection to Kathmandu.....

A client gave me one of these meditation pillows as a gift after our physical therapy session and I must say I’ve gotten a lot of use out of it! As a clinician, I highly recommend Kathmandu yogi pillows. It promotes proper spinal alignment and unlike regular pillows, it’ll never go flat......
