Akasha Yoga Pieces is a yoga accessory company 100% made in Guatemala, transforming pre-loved hand-woven textiles into unique yoga accessories. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, celebrating and preserving this ancient Mayan art form and carrying the stories of its creator within every thread

Akasha yoga straps are not only a stylish way to transport your mat to-and-from class; they’re also a useful tool that can enhance your practice no matter your level of experience. Akasha yoga straps allow you to fit a pose to your body, helping you achieve correct yoga posture and alignment, by giving length and support to poses. Akasha Yoga Pieces is the creation of Emily Klein and Luke Della Santa, two nomadic Sydney-siders passionate about yoga, sustainability and supporting the local communities they find themselves a part of. Scouring the bustling markets of Guatemala, they hand-select and create the most striking designs, learning the story of each piece and it's artisan. Just as we are conscious of our movements on the mat, we now live in an age where it is imperative to be conscious of our actions off the mat; namely, how we spend money and the flow-on effect this has on our well being, the environment and the people who create the products we purchase. By making your purchase through Akasha Yoga Pieces, you can be assured that your actions flow-on to support the individual artisans creating these pieces.

Guatemala has been hit hard by COVID, with little Government support. In response, Konojel Community Center has pivoted their efforts, instead of providing 70 nutritious meals a day they are now providing bags of food to 300 families. This video shows the inspiring way that this small village is coming together in these difficult times. https://youtu.be/PT1pcJAf8ws

Right now, we are donation 100% of profits to Konojel Community Center - to put this into perspective; the purchase of 1 YOGA STRAP = 7 WEEKS OF FOOD for one family. That's pretty amazing!

We understand that these are challenging times for many, so if you're not in a position to purchase, simply sharing this post with friends and family helps so so much. Thank-you!

We are donating 💯% of proceeds of all online sales to Guatemala in response to the devastating impact Covid-19 is having on an already challenged community.

WHAT does 100% of proceeds mean? This means the price you pay minus the cost of goods and shipping. Everything else goes directly to Konojel. Luke and I do not take a wage.

WHO are Konojel? Konojel are a non-profit organization in Guatemala focused on reducing chronic malnutrition (70% of the town of San Marcos are malnourished, living off $2/day per household) Right now they are distributing food packages to vulnerable households

WHY do Guatemalan’s need our help? According to Konojel’s director Ingrid Paredes, without our help, “families will quite simply starve.”

We understand that times are tough for many around the world and that a financial contribution isn’t possible for many, but if you would still like to help, please share this with your network of loved ones.

You can also donate directly to the cause - simply visit

Please read the article below to understand the full scope of this tragedy.

"We are afraid that without our regular intervention, we will see the progress we've made in fighting malnutrition over the past nine years erode, and we will watch the descent of our community into starvation."

We understand that everyone is facing challenges, so if you are unable to donate, please simply share this post.

What does 100% of profits mean? It is the sale value minus the cost of goods minus shipping. We do not pay ourselves.
