WELCOME to The Y Catalog – an inspired concept of conscious shopping
In The Y Catalog you will not only find the highest quality of hand selected items from the most highly regarded manufacturers in the yoga industry – you will also make an impact on the world we live in with every dollar you spend.
Bringing awareness to the notion of Seva (the spirit of service) by creating a catalog for yogis inspired us because it was really a way to communicate the original message of Seva to our community across America. Seva is the highest goal of yoga and the ideal way to both give and receive at the same time. In our desire to find a way to merge sustainable, responsible commerce with service – The Y Catalog was born.
The Y Catalog’s mission is to stimulate awareness of the importance of doing our part for our environment and for those in need, both inside and outside the yoga community while meeting your shopping needs at the very highest level. In other words by shopping with The Y Catalog you get to feel good twice. Once by purchasing excellent yoga products, second by supporting important causes – all without spending more than what you already would on the items you buy for your practice.
How does The Y Catalog’s notion of Seva work? $1.08 of each product you buy from The Y Catalog will go toward a global or charitable cause supported by the company(s) you purchased from.
