Founder’s Story
This began as healing. Yogi Gabriel, chronically ill and bedridden had a spontaneous kundalini awakening. What followed was a re-education in how energy works and how sacred textiles affects our AURA.
Eventually Yogi Gabriel discovered Ayurvastra, authentic Ayurveda sacred yoga mats made from herbs and geometry. He doesn’t claim to have invented these. He made a sacred vow to protect them.
