B Yoga was born out of founder Andrea Morris’ deep love for the physical and mental practice of yoga. After working with a uniquely grippy type of rubber, initially developed for carpet pads, Morris realized it could be the perfect material for a yoga mat.
She spent countless hours refining and perfecting her product until the B MAT was born. Today, the B MAT remains B Yoga’s core and best-selling product, embodying the brand’s commitment to creating simple, high-quality, and long-lasting yoga staples for the global yoga community.
As the woman-owned brand has continued to grow, its offerings have expanded to include other products that prioritize performance, comfort, and contemporary design while remaining true to the goal of creating essential, practical products for real people.
Recently, Giftagram had the pleasure of talking with B Yoga sales manager Cindy Welkie about yoga, mindfulness and why B Yoga’s goods are such great gifts:
Giftagram: What makes B Yoga a different and great gift?
Cindy: At B Yoga we offer the best of movement, mindfulness, and recovery gifts. Our hero product is the B MAT, the grippiest movement mat out there. But we offer so much more than that—meditation sets, self care and sleep supports and our ever-expanding line of elevated movement props. All B goods are designed to support you and what you need day-in and day-out, on and off the (B) mat.
Giftagram: What is your favorite B Yoga product to gift?
Cindy: Our bundles are a great gift offering. My personal favorite is the Fit From Home bundle for wellness-oriented individuals who want to up their home movement regime. Another favorite is the Calm Sit Set, which has been a game changer for my mindfulness practice.
Giftagram: What makes B Yoga different from other yoga and fitness products?
Cindy: Where to begin? From day one, we have been driven by our values of truth, connection, impact—and, of course—wellbeing. Our values are deep-rooted and drive all that we offer, as our team espouses these values. We aim to support everyone in their life's practice and work to ensure that all of our products live up to this mission.
Giftagram: We love that B Yoga is committed to a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) action plan. Why is this important to the company and brand?
Cindy: At B Yoga, we really believe that our platform serves to support a broader purpose, that this is our responsibility. Like our movement and meditation practices, we know that the work is never finished and requires a lifelong commitment. We are committed to engaging in and holding space for difficult conversations with our community and employees, and to continue learning and taking action to support the broader community. It is through these commitments that we can keep moving forward, mindfully. Our DEI action plan is an ever-evolving commitment which provides us with a roadmap to stay engaged in this work and to our commitment to diversity and inclusion initiatives. We are inspired to connect with our hearts, the hearts of others, and the hearts of movements that are committed to long-term cultural change.
The benefits of yoga, meditation and movement
Ready to feel your best both physically and mentally? Practicing yoga can help! Yoga is an ancient practice that can improve physical health by increasing flexibility and strength while also reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Studies have shown that regular yoga practice can significantly reduce stress levels and improve mood, and may even prevent age-related physical and mental decline. Additionally, yoga can also help with mental health by reducing stress and anxiety and improving overall wellbeing.
While it’s tempting to think of yoga as a leisure activity, in terms of work-life balance, the practice is helpful on both sides of the scale. Studies of teachers and nurses have found that practicing yoga can reduce burnout and increase job satisfaction.
Mindfulness and meditation practices are similarly well regarded for their ability to increase wellbeing and behavioral regulation and to reduce emotional reactivity.
Overall, studies provide evidence that incorporating yoga and mindfulness into a daily routine can have a lasting positive impact on wellbeing, job performance, and employee mental health.
