The Story of Yogoco
Do you know how difficult it is to take a Yoga mat, Yoga towel, bottle of water, a purse, a phone and keys into a Yoga studio??? Of course you do, we all do it but I have seen many folks struggling just like me to perform the exact same balancing act.
Surely, there must be a better, less exhausting way of getting to Yoga class. After researching Yoga bags on the market, I noticed that two types of Yoga bag existed. One is essentially a mat holder, with very little room for anything else and turns out, surprisingly difficult to put a mat in. The other is an oversized gym bag. Not wanting any of the bags on the market, I decided to create my own.
After a lot of thought, many prototypes and sleepless nights, the yogoco Yoga bag was born. A fully functional, very stylish, easy to use, eco-friendly and sustainable Yoga bag, that holds everything you need for a Yoga session, keeps your mat aired even when the mat section is closed, will take a 26" wide mat and is fully wipeable.
ECO-FRIENDLY AND SUSTAINABLE
Our ecologically responsible fabric is made using a unique manufacturing process that is both sustainable and helps conserve our precious natural resources: land, water and energy.
Scraps from the T-shirt making process are collected, sorted by color and blended. This significantly reduces incinerator and landfill use. The cotton fibers require no new dying, saving on water while adding no new pollutants. Furthermore, as no new cotton is grown, there is no land use, no water intensive irrigation and no fertilizers or pesticides used.
Each Yogoco bag saves 2lbs of additional land fill!
Yogoco bag tags, business cards, postcards and brochures are printed on recycled paper and use soy and vegetable based inks.
Yogoco is the winner of the Shape Green Living Award!

Yogoco is a woman-owned company.
There is a saying by Chief Seattle that inspires me and is pervasive of how i run my company, "Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints". Our bags are made from pre-consumer t-shirt scraps that were destined for the landfill and we made a beautiful product.
My favorite part of creating my products is the first day i get to use a prototype, in Yoga class, or in the gym, and you hear some one say, "hey, where did you get that".
Kids, husband and getting our orders out on time!! - no particular order :-)
Christmas 2008, we launched in mid-November, and by Christmas day we were 100% sold out. That was a good day!
Not going back to my day job after my second daughter was born to start Yogoco as a full time job.
Now that's a tough question, i don't even know where i see my self in 6 months! Things are busy right now, i take that as a blessing. I would still like to busy, hopefully our gym bags are out, and doing as well as our Yoga bags, the kids are well. That's it. :-)
