When I was pregnant, I thought I had to hold everything together. But the truth is, I struggled. Depression crept in during my pregnancy and stayed with me after birth. There were days I felt completely lost in my own body, disconnected from myself, and afraid to admit how heavy it all felt.

Yoga was one of the few things that helped me find my way back.

Not because it erased the hard moments, but because it gave me a space to breathe, to soften, and to feel just a little more like myself again. On the mat, I could release the pressure to be perfect and just be — body, breath, and heart.

That’s why I created the Yoga Mama® Mat. It isn’t just a mat — it’s a safe place to land when the world feels too heavy. It’s extra wide so your whole body can stay supported, extra cushioned so your joints and your heart feel cared for, and made from safe, non-toxic materials so you can trust the ground beneath you.

My mission with Yoga Mama is simple: to support women through pregnancy and postpartum with safe products and gentle guidance, so no mother feels like she has to walk through the hard parts alone.

If you are struggling, please know: you are not broken. You are not failing. You are becoming. And there is a safe space here for you — on and off the mat.

With love,

India

India’s path has always been one of creativity and care — from non-profit work and design, to culinary arts, events, and yoga teaching. After selling her first business to Marriott® Hotels, she knew entrepreneurship was in her bones, but she was still searching for the deeper difference she wanted to make in the world.

Motherhood gave her the answer.

“Transitioning from woman to mother was by far the hardest thing I have ever been through. That was when I knew: I am here to walk in this purpose — to support women just like me.”

In 2021, she brought together her background as a creator, her devotion as a yoga practitioner, and her calling to empower women, to give birth to Yoga Mama®.

India is passionate about the transformative power of yoga, especially during seasons of growth and challenge, and is dedicated to offering mothers safe tools and spaces to feel supported on their journey.
