ABOUT
Launched in 2018, Yogipod was founded by yoga teacher and former luxury fabric buyer, Georgie. With the goal to bring block-printed beauty to the world of relaxation, Yogipod hand crafts yoga props that look great, do good and inspire users to take care of themselves.
All of the block-printed fabrics are printed by hand in small artisan workshops outside Jaipur and then hand sewn in Georgie’s Oxfordshire studio alongside her work as a yoga teacher.
Sustainability is a core commitment for the brand who maintain a transparent business model as well as plant a tree for every order. In 2024 Yogipod was shortlisted for Retail Entrepreneur of the Year and in 2023 for Maker and Creator of the Year at the Great British Entrepreneur Awards.
The accessibly priced range (£10-£85) of yoga props also includes clothing and homewares. The full range is available online at www.yogipod.co.uk.
I find it such a privilege to be able to inspire others to rest through my work both as a yoga teacher and the creator of hand printed yoga props. The business was born from a place of my almost burnout and so I know firsthand how important it is to look after ourselves and build rest in to the everyday.
Stepping into my creative studio nestled in a farmyard in the Oxfordshire countryside is truly my happy place and I love that my days are always different. Often moving from packing orders, to sewing stock to teaching an online yoga class, but all grounded in things that I’m passionate about.
– Georgie Davies, Owner
